I found it difficult to educate loved ones & am thankful for more resources that are available now. #MondayNightIBD #SouthAsianIBD (1/ ) @rebelliousgut @MondayNightIBD @southasianIBD @ibdesis @Empoweringpts9 @DCharabaty @ownyourcrohns @crohnsbabble @vkckiranpullela @TheMaveilousGut @dunung_ruchita At the same time, I've also met people who couldn't understand how someone my age (17-23) could have such a #disability. The invisibility of #IBD added to this. As a result, my struggles with #IBD were downplayed, minimized & ignored. #MondayNightIBD #SouthAsianIBD (2/ )
