Traveling with IBD can bring a worry many people don't talk about: needing a restroom, fast. ✈️🚻

Our Chief Education, Support and Advocacy Officer, Laura Wingate, spoke with USA TODAY about how people with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis can plan ahead and travel with more confidence.

Her tips include:
✅ Pack medications, supplies, and snacks you tolerate well in your carry-on
✅ Arrive early so you can find restrooms without rushing
✅ Let flight attendants know you may need to use the restroom even when the seatbelt sign is on, as long as it's safe

Plus, learn how our free We Can't Wait restroom finder app and I Can't Wait card can help on the go.

Today is Ostomy Awareness Day. 💜 We're recognizing everyone living with an ostomy, along with the caregivers and care teams who support them. An ostomy can be life-saving and life-changing, yet too many people still face stigma or feel they have to stay silent about their ostomy. Whether you're preparing for surgery, adjusting to a new normal, or years into your journey, you're not alone. Find the Foundation's ostomy support resources here: https://bit.ly/4difXx2

Thank you to our sponsor, AbbVie, for your support.

The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation Arizona Chapter sincerely thanks Optum / FlexCare Infusion Centers for their generous Silver Partnership of CUREate 2026.

For many individuals living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, access to infusion therapies can be an essential part of managing their condition. Optum and FlexCare Infusion Centers help make that care more accessible by providing high-quality infusion services in a patient-centered environment that prioritizes comfort, convenience, and support.

We are grateful for your partnership and your dedication to helping patients receive the care they need closer to home. Thank you for supporting our mission and helping improve the lives of those impacted by IBD.

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month on top of Machu Picchu! We are so proud of board member and Foundation social media ambassador Rocio Castrillon and her entire Team Challenge team, who hiked up to 16,000 feet through the Ausangate mountains — braving rain, sleet, hail, snow, and strong winds — then descended 8,000 feet to Machu Picchu, all while living with a chronic illness. Rocio returned to her roots in Peru to raise awareness and support for the nearly 1 in 100 Americans living with IBD. 💙🧡

Thanks to the Foundation’s advocacy, California just became the second state in the nation to pass a law making it easier for many IBD patients to get timely medication dose changes without extra insurance hurdles.

Dose optimization means your doctor can adjust your chronic meds up to two times—with no long insurance delays—so you get the care you need, faster. Let’s help more states follow California’s lead—join our advocacy team here: https://bit.ly/4r3PRTt
