So you just found out that you have IBD - Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

 

On the one hand, this is a huge bummer.  You're not feeling well and probably haven't been for a while... now you have to take medication and maybe have surgery?  Yikes!

 

But on the other hand, it's probably a relief to know there's a name for what's going on with your body and that something can be done about it.
