Today marks my 12th year recognising World IBD Day Today marks my 12th year recognising World IBD Day whilst living with IBD… but this year, I found myself asking a question I never thought I would.

Do I actually still have IBD?

After 3 surgeries, having everything from the ileum down removed and now living with a stoma, my Ulcerative Colitis is no longer active. There’s nowhere left for the disease to flare in the way it once did… so where does that leave me?

Am I someone who had IBD? Or am I still someone living with it?

In today’s blog post, I wanted to explore that question because IBD is so much more than just a bowel disease. Even without active disease, I still live with the effects it left behind.

A stoma gave me my quality of life back after years of immense pain and failed treatments, but it isn’t a cure. It’s a management route with its own ups and downs.

I’d love to know if anyone else with a stoma has ever questioned where they fit within the IBD community now 💜

It's a double post day! Apologies, I was unwell ye It's a double post day! Apologies, I was unwell yesterday 

Did I get started on Green Rider? Yes. Did I immediately swap and read a manga too? Also yes 😂

I asked in one of the book discords I'm part of whether manga works well on Kindle and was told that quite a few are on Kindle Unlimited. The moment I saw that message, Green Rider stood absolutely no chance...
