“7 years ago I went out to dinner with some coworkers from my new job. The next morning I woke up with what I thought was food poisoning. It took 6 months, several doctors visits, and a colonoscopy to figure out that I had Crohn's Disease. 2 years ago I decided to take the "natural" route for my healing journey. I tested and tweaked until I was in the best health I'd been in since I got sick. I started Intestinal Fortitude @intestinal4titude to share what had worked for me with anyone else out there who was trying to avoid the pharmaceutical route. I came across Aware Causes and immediately recognized the opportunity to continue to spread awareness for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Crohn's Disease, and Ulcerative Colitis. I hope people will wear these PURPLE necklaces with pride, and use them to tell the world that you support people with IBD.” @intestinal4titude
