These days, many people blog about their personal experiences, and blogs about IBD, IBS, and other autoimmune disorders are common. While they all have something to offer, I would like to highlight six blogs that helped me when I was struggling after being diagnosed.
- Girl in Healing
This blog is great for general tips about how to take care of yourself if you have IBD, specifically if you have Crohn’s disease.
- Colitis Ninja
This blog showed me that I’m not alone and that IBD isn’t a weakness. Reading the blogger’s posts gave me a much-needed confidence boost.
- Heal Me in the Kitchen
As someone who has had to follow a strict diet for years, it’s nice to know I’m in good company. This blog is full of great ideas about cooking for a paleo diet.

- Lights Camera Crohn’s
This blog is also great for general tips and for understanding someone else’s personal experience with the disease.
- It Could Be Worse
True to its lighthearted title, this blog has helped me to stay positiveeven during difficult times.
I followed these blogs when I was first diagnosed, and I still keep up with some of them now. They are informative and inspirational, and, most importantly, they let me know I am not alone. I hope these blog recommendations will help you as much as they helped me
