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After 3 surgeries, having everything from the ileum down removed and now living with a stoma, my Ulcerative Colitis is no longer active.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 💜 Link: https://hannahmariebrankley.com/world-ibd-day-2026-do-i-still-have-ibd/ #WorldIBDDay #IBD #UlcerativeColitis #ChronicIllness #IBDAwareness InflammatoryBowelDisease
