we suffer in silence , life is hell ,dashing to the toilet sometimes not getting there on time . The pain is horrendous !
Sometimes there are no toilets available when they are most needed.
We need more specialist that we can turn to for help and not have to wait for 6 weeks to sea consultant fromLondon who is fully booked for that day and is in a hurry to finish and jump back on a plane home. Please help us , thank you

My Mum was diagnosed with crohn's when I was 15 years old. I had to grow up quick and get to a point where I had to take care of her. She is better now, but I thought I was going to lose her. I wasn't expecting to see her again. I am signing this petition not only for those with Crohn's, but also for the families that have to go through it all from the side lines. Its hard to watch someone you love and wonder, how long till you can't see them any more?

I live with some one who unfortunately has this condition.
It is a life changing disease, and sufferes should receive all the support they can get.

IBD is a terrible illness, and patients need a lot of support and access to fast treatment. Any delay causes distress. They need access to the latest drugs which will help there quality of life and allow them to live a full life. I am a parent of 2 sons who have Crohns. One lives in Gibraltar.
