Crohn’s and Colitis awareness week runs from December 1st
– 7th, so I wanted to use this opportunity to introduce you to 7
Inflammatory Bowel Disease blogs – one for each day of the week!
I assume if you’re here, you already know that my (this)
blog exists, and of course, I am going to tell you that it’s very good and well
worth a read ;)
I read a lot of blogs by those with IBD and ostomies, so I
had to choose very specific criteria to select just 7 blogs:
·
IBD focused (meaning not an IBD section on a
much bigger site)
·
Regular updates
·
A good selection of differing experiences
·
Different content types
Jenna Ziegler writes about her Ulcerative Colitis experiences with the dream to bridge the isolation that IBD can bring.
December 2nd -
Natalie (Sparacio) Hayden writes about her journey with Crohn's Disease, plus stories about pregnancy and motherhood in the hope of
comforting and empowering others.
December 3rd -
Julie writes about having Crohn's Disease as an outlet for herself, to share her story with others that might feel alone and because she wants to try and normalize the conversation when it
comes to IBD.
December 4th -
Amber J Tresca writes about her Ulcerative Colitis and provides opinions and information for the IBD community. She also uploads episodes of the About IBD Podcast to her blog, in which she talks to patients, advocates and topic specialists!

Louise writes about her experiences with Crohn’s Disease and ileostomy. She has also written multiple blog series on topics such as
medication, extra-intestinal manifestations, the digestive system and more!

ongoing battle with Crohn’s Disease, and the journeys of other people with
Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Happy reading! Let me know what you think of my blog choices!
