Share your story

Every story shared has the power to change how people understand digestive symptoms and conditions.

Why sharing your story is important

Right now, millions of people across the UK are affected by digestive conditions and symptoms, and we want the experiences and stories that we share to reflect that. We want everyone to feel seen, heard and included, and we’re especially keen to hear from people from underrepresented communities.

By sharing your story, you’ll help raise vital awareness and help us build a community that truly reflects us all. Together, we can help the UK get to grips with guts!

Sharing your experiences through video

If you would like to share your experiences through video (i.e a day in your life, things you want others to understand, or tips for managing your condition), please fill in the form here.

 

Please note that submission of this form does not guarantee that your story will be shared. As a small team, we are unable to share everyone’s story right now, but if an opportunity arises to share yours, we will be in touch. Thank you.
