Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Month is an awareness and fund-raising event that highlights the needs of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which affect more than 61,000 Australians.
IBD can be not only embarrassing but also painful and exhausting and lead to serious complications. See myDr's explanations of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and a personal story of living with Crohn's disease.
