On World IBD Day every year, patient organisations come together from all over the globe to raise awareness of Crohn’s disease & Colitis. Guts UK is proud to fund over 10 current active research projects into Crohn’s & Colitis.
Crohn’s disease and Colitis (often ulcerative or microscopic) are referred to as Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). They are long-term conditions that involve inflammation of the gut.
Many of those that have Crohn’s or Colitis will take immunosuppressants, suppressing the immune system and putting the IBD community at higher risk of severe illness if they were to contract coronavirus Covid-19.
Our community need us now more than ever before and team Guts UK have been busy answering your Covid-19 questions over the past few months. We are proud to provide expert, evidence-based information to our community when you need it most. With this information, patients can make informed decisions and take control.

Since Guts UK was founded in 1971, we have funded a whopping 76 research projects exploring IBD.
The digestive system is an incredible but complex system and the better we understand how it works, the better we can look after it. Our research has the capacity to change and save lives, please consider donating to support our research programme today.
Together we can do more. Together we can diagnose earlier, develop kinder treatments and ultimately find a cure for digestive diseases like IBD.
