The Bottom End

Dating and IBD

Dating is tricky enough at the best of times, but throw in living with IBD and things can sometimes get complicated! How do you tell someone about your condition? When do you tell them? Will it affect how they feel about you? Justan, Brittani and Luke consider all these questions and reveal some of their own dating experiences.

Life, school and social media

Dealing with school, exams and eventually moving out to live on your own are all a big deal for anyone. But how does living with IBD at the same time affect all that? Luke, Brittani and Justan take us through what happened at these points in their own lives and talk about how they managed it.
