10 reasons to join the Crohn’s and Colitis Support Group
1. It’s full of other people with connections to IBD.
2. It’s a safe forum to ask any and all IBD questions.
3. It’s a way to connect with others on the Mighty community.
4. I’m one of the group leaders (living with #UlcerativeColitis ), and I’m pretty cool.
5. We want to normalize talking about poop.
6. We do Q&As with partners like Girls with Guts.
7. It’s a small but “Mighty” community that we want to grow.
8. It’s supportive.
9. Why not?
10. Do it today!

I'm new here!
Hi, my name is iamsickandtired1994. I'm worried about getting a laparoscopy? Doctors want to check for endometriosis…after 10 plus years of IBS and ICPBS symptoms. Has anyone done this procedure? It it worth it?

Grateful
I just want to take time to say how thankful I am to make it to 37 weeks pregnant! Due to having EDS, I was expecting to have a preterm baby(as I have in the past) but my little girl has made it to “term” and looks like she might make it to full term! I can't wait till she is here and in my arms.
In terms of my chronic illness its been a rough ride (though a textbook healthy pregnancy ) but its almost over and the joy of being a mamma again is about to begin. Thankful to God and all my loves ones who have supported me through it all!!!

hi, i'm new here (•ᴗ•,, )
i'm a younger person who has been in chronic pain for around a year and a half (since april 2023) without answers. i had chronic EBV mono for about seven months, late december 2023 to early august 2024.
i have chronic stomach pain and GI issues. currently, my pain is every single day and it can be from mild discomfort to 'take me to the ER'
i've been diagnosed with autism over the summer, which is so great! i had agoraphobia for many months, but with twice-a-week therapy, i was able to overcome it.
i also was diagnosed with POTS only ~1 week ago.
i went to a hospital 2 hours away to a GI specialist, and it was one of the worst doctor visits i've ever had. it was a very religious christian institution, which i was not aware of (i am personally not christian). i don't want to go into details, but i feel very lost.
i am on the journey of getting treated for endometriosis-like symptoms by an out-of-state gynecologist. i am on a new medication and may get surgery in around three months.
i'm so tired of being in constant pain. i would love to know if anyone has gone through something similar to me, i feel so alone right now.
