Learn more about Crohn’s & Colitis UK

Crohn’s and Colitis – the two forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease – are lifelong diseases of the gut. They are painful, debilitating, widely misunderstood, and there is no known cure. When you have Crohn’s or Colitis, your immune system doesn’t work properly. Your body starts attacking itself, causing ulcers and inflammation in the gut. Imagine having a wound that never heals – only it’s on the inside. Crohn’s and Colitis don’t just affect your gut, it can affect almost every part of your body and aspect of your life.

What makes this charity special is that they fight Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. In fact, Crohn’s and Colitis UK is the leading charity in the battle against these and other forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). They’re here for everyone affected by Crohn’s and Colitis, to improve diagnosis and treatment, and to fund research into a cure.
