About Ibd

If you have the chance to speak on behalf of the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) community: would you take it? At first, volunteer and Crohn’s disease advocate Keri Flaccomio wondered if she had a right to attend a day on the hill event with the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation and lobby in Washington DC on behalf of the IBD community. Her experiences while she was on the hill helped her to understand that not only did she have the right, but she also had a responsibility to tell her story — and the stories of others living with IBD. Learn how Keri made her hill meetings more effective and how they helped her to become empowered as an activist.   Find Keri Ann Flaccomio at: Tumblr: https://mygutfeelings.tumblr.com/ Website: http://www.keriannflaccomio.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keriannecdotes Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/keriannecdotes LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keriannflaccomio/   Find Amber J Tresca of About IBD at: Verywell: https://www.verywell.com/ibd-crohns-colitis-401470
