We IBD
Why I built We IBD
Five years ago, I was diagnosed with IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). Like a lot of people, that diagnosis came as a real shock. From one day to the next, I found myself with more questions than answers.
Even though the diagnosis was hard to accept, the illness wasn't entirely unfamiliar to me. That was when I remembered my Grandma and all the little bits of care she put into what she ate. I can still picture her carefully peeling her tomatoes and taking out the seeds. As a child, I didn't understand why she did it. It was only many years later that I realised those small habits were simply part of her daily life, her way of trying to live better with the illness.
