According to the IBD State of the Nation report, without any action taken, the economic burden of IBD in Australia will be $77.9 billion over 10 years.

To achieve significant change and ensure people have equitable access to best practice, integrated care, the top 3 priorities for implementation by 2030 include:

Improving access to multi-disciplinary care,
Improving access to novel therapies, and
Investing in IBD research.
CCA hopes to use the new data presented in the report to support increased investment by government and funders to address the gaps in IBD health care.

I myself have to have regular vitamin B12 injections once every 3 months to keep my levels up

Conditions like Crohn's disease can hinder the absorption of B12, resulting in symptoms such as tiredness, fatigue, dizziness, and irritability.

If you're not feeling your best, consult with a doctor. CCA's helpline is also here to offer assistance.

As a reminder, always consult your GP or specialist before starting a new supplement or making any dietary changes.
