Today is World Mental Health Day. People with IBD are three to five times more likely to experience anxiety and two to four times more likely to experience depression than the general population.
These feelings are understandable and valid. With the right support, skills, and tools, daily life can feel more manageable. For more on caring for your mental health with IBD, visit: https://bit.ly/4iay4aX

A new national poll finds nearly 4 in 5 likely voters (78%) support reforming step therapy, the insurance practice that forces patients to try and fail on cheaper drugs before getting the treatment their doctor originally prescribed.

A 2024 Foundation survey found that 85% of IBD patients who experienced step therapy suffered adverse health consequences as a result.

The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation is proud to lead alongside 225+ patient and clinician organizations in the Safe Step Coalition, pushing to pass the Safe Step Act, bipartisan legislation giving patients a clear, timely way to appeal these insurer mandates.

The data is clear. The momentum is real. Let’s get treatment decisions back where they belong: between patients and their doctors.

Traveling with IBD can bring a worry many people don't talk about: needing a restroom, fast. ✈️🚻

Our Chief Education, Support and Advocacy Officer, Laura Wingate, spoke with USA TODAY about how people with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis can plan ahead and travel with more confidence.

Her tips include:
✅ Pack medications, supplies, and snacks you tolerate well in your carry-on
✅ Arrive early so you can find restrooms without rushing
✅ Let flight attendants know you may need to use the restroom even when the seatbelt sign is on, as long as it's safe

Plus, learn how our free We Can't Wait restroom finder app and I Can't Wait card can help on the go.

Professional pickleball player Rob Nunnery looked like the picture of health. But behind the scenes, he was battling severe, invisible chronic pain while competing on the global circuit. After a challenging journey to a Crohn’s disease diagnosis, multiple surgeries, and adapting to life with an ostomy bag, Rob is back on the court with a completely new approach to his sport and his health.

We teamed up with the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation to share his story. Check out the full article on how Rob is redefining what it means to be a competitor here: https://bit.ly/4h1ps64

Today is Ostomy Awareness Day. 💜 We're recognizing everyone living with an ostomy, along with the caregivers and care teams who support them. An ostomy can be life-saving and life-changing, yet too many people still face stigma or feel they have to stay silent about their ostomy. Whether you're preparing for surgery, adjusting to a new normal, or years into your journey, you're not alone. Find the Foundation's ostomy support resources here: https://bit.ly/4difXx2

Thank you to our sponsor, AbbVie, for your support.

Rain, steep stone stairs, and 43 miles of mountain trail couldn't stop them. This Team Challenge crew spent 5 days trekking to Machu Picchu, fundraising for our mission to find cures and better treatments and to improve the lives of people living with IBD. Thank you for every mile, every dollar raised, and every bit of hope you carried to the top. 💜

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month on top of Machu Picchu! We are so proud of board member and Foundation social media ambassador Rocio Castrillon and her entire Team Challenge team, who hiked up to 16,000 feet through the Ausangate mountains — braving rain, sleet, hail, snow, and strong winds — then descended 8,000 feet to Machu Picchu, all while living with a chronic illness. Rocio returned to her roots in Peru to raise awareness and support for the nearly 1 in 100 Americans living with IBD. 💙🧡

Thanks to the Foundation’s advocacy, California just became the second state in the nation to pass a law making it easier for many IBD patients to get timely medication dose changes without extra insurance hurdles.

Dose optimization means your doctor can adjust your chronic meds up to two times—with no long insurance delays—so you get the care you need, faster. Let’s help more states follow California’s lead—join our advocacy team here: https://bit.ly/4r3PRTt
