Did you know people with IBD are 3 to 5 times more likely to experience anxiety and 2 to 4 times more likely to experience depression than the general population? In honor of World IBD Day on May 19, we’re shining a light on the challenges that often go unseen—like stress, pain, and relationships—because IBD is more than the gut.

Watch this video with Dr. Megan Riehl, GI Psychologist and Foundation Trustee, as she explains why caring for both mind and body is essential in managing IBD. That’s why we created the More Than the Gut Guide—a free resource filled with expert insights, evidence-based tools, and real stories from the IBD community.
