Crohn's and Colitis Ireland Launch Online IBD Symptom Checker

Crohns and Colitis Ireland has launched their online symptom checker campaign to raise awareness surrounding Inflamatory Bowel Disease. The organisation marked today's World IBD Day by unveiling the 'Poo Taboo' campaign. It is thought that at least 40,000 people are living with IBD in Ireland with many more being undiagnosed. The peak age of diagnoses for people is between the ages of 15 and 35. Board member of Crohn's and Colitis Ireland Victoria Spillane urges people showing symptoms to not be embarrassed to get checked.
