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.

We're looking for volunteers to help support others living with IBD.

Facilitators are needed for our Women's and 55+ Support Groups. Volunteers should have lived with IBD for at least 3 years, be in a place where they can support others, and have a desire to give back to the community. Previous volunteer experience with the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation is preferred.

The time commitment is approximately 3-5 hours per month and includes facilitating one monthly support group meeting and monitoring a group email account.

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.

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
