Hi all,

I've had ulcerative colitis for 20 years now and mostly stay in remission with only 4 hospitalizations total. Still, I deal with UC difficulties on a regular basis, but don't know anyone in my daily life that has IBD, so I hope this community takes off to have a community of other IBDers to provide and receive support. I'll do my part to try to stay active here.

👋 Hello there, and welcome! I am also hoping to see this community gain some traction as well, as I'm in a similar boat as you - I also don't really know anyone who has IBD. Which don't get me wrong, I'm glad for as I wouldn't wish it on even my worst enemy but it would be nice to be able to know others who can relate to what we're going through.

Hi, and thank you! 😊

Thanks for sticking around. I too would love this community to get going. I'm going to post to see if anyone else has some ideas. The IBD groups on Reddit had no interest for Lemmy, and I even offered to let them be mods again.

Thanks for your support!

Of course! Happy to be here as this is definitely a community that I'll pretty much always be passionate about 😅
