Скачать или смотреть Anxiety in IBD

Ever notice your mind racing when your gut acts up?

Anxiety and IBD—like Crohn’s or Colitis—often go hand in hand. The unpredictability of symptoms, fear of flares, worries about new meds or surgery, and “toilet anxiety” can make worry a constant companion.

Many people even avoid social events because of past accidents.

There’s a real mind-gut connection: anxiety can worsen gut symptoms, and flares can ramp up anxiety, creating a tough cycle. Untreated anxiety doesn’t just feel bad—it can increase your risk of IBD flares and make managing your treatment harder. Breaking the anxiety-IBD cycle starts with support, so share your story in the comments below—reaching out is a strength, not a weakness.
