Medicaid is on the line. The House votes tomorrow on $880B in cuts, putting life-saving care at risk for those with IBD, chronic illnesses, and our kids. Call your rep. Leave a voicemail tonight. Call again in the morning. Our health is not negotiable. #ProtectMedicaid #IBDMoms

an image that reads IBDMoms Celebrates in a half circle over a sketched large intestine that is hugged by a purple ribbon that says Crohn's & Colitis Awareness Week December 1-7th. Behind the large intestine is a bouquet of flowers that are mostly pinks, purples and reds. This is on top of a white circle that sits on a taupe background with a black border. The IBDMoms logo is in the far right bottom corner. The following text is enclosed in a gray thin square border on a white square background that sits on a taupe background with a black border and the IBDMoms logo in the far right bottom corner: Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week is more than just a time to educate others about inflammatory bowel disease; it’s a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience within the IBD community. This week allows us to shine a light on the realities of living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis—conditions that are often invisible but life-altering. By sharing our stories, we help break the stigma, advocate for better care, and foster understanding. For IBDMoms, it’s a chance to amplify the voices of moms navigating motherhood alongside chronic illness, reminding the world why awareness and support are vital for improving lives and driving change in the healthcare system. The following text is enclosed in a gray thin square border on a white square background that sits on a taupe background with a black border and the IBDMoms logo in the far right bottom corner: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a term used to describe chronic inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and indeterminate colitis—a form of IBD where it’s unclear if the inflammation is characteristic of Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis. In the United States, over 3.1 million people live with IBD, and nearly half of them are women. These diseases can affect every aspect of daily life, from managing symptoms like abdominal pain, fatigue, and urgent bowel movements to navigating the emotional toll of living with a chronic, unpredictable illness. For moms, the challenge is even greater as they balance their health with the demands of caregiving. At IBDMoms, we understand that IBD doesn’t just impact your body; it can influence your work, social life, and ability to fully engage in family activities. That’s why we’re here to offer support, advocacy, and community every step of the way. The following text is enclosed in a gray thin square border on a white square background that sits on a taupe background with a black border and the IBDMoms logo in the far right bottom corner: 10 Signs You May Be Having An IBD Flare: 1.
