Irvine IBD - Inflammatory Bowel Disease Meetup Group

This group is for people living with ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and other inflammatory bowel diseases who are looking for connection, understanding, and real support. Living with IBD can be physically and emotionally challenging, and it’s often difficult for healthy people to truly understand what we go through. That’s why spaces like this matter.

Here, we can come together to share our experiences, talk openly, and support each other without judgment. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been managing IBD for years, you’re welcome.

I hope we can meet regularly—ideally once a week—and build a strong, supportive community. Over time, we can also create activities together, from casual meetups and walks to discussions about nutrition, lifestyle, and mental well-being.

You’re not alone in this. Let’s grow stronger together.
