Dealing with continual circumstances like Crohn’s illness and ulcerative colitis will be difficult and typically embarrassing. Inflammatory bowel illness (IBD) could cause diarrhea, abdomen ache, weight reduction and different signs. Also, the intersectionality of LGBTQ+ id and having a continual sickness like IBD can typically make it tough for sufferers to debate their signs with healthcare professionals.
In July 2022, Mayo Clinic was one of many first within the nation to open an IBD Pride Clinic. The clinic goals to create an affirming area for LGBTQ+ sufferers to speak about their particular healthcare considerations.
