> What a disgusting thread.
A new patient manifesto created by young people living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been launched. Young people with IBD are calling for greater public awareness of their condition, which will lead to earlier recognition of symptoms, earlier diagnosis and better disease management.
Developed by young people aged 18 to 30 with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (both forms of IBD), the manifesto identifies critical challenges for this group and calls for the Government, employers, healthcare professionals and the general public to take action.
The manifesto calls for IBD to be designated as a long-term illness, reflecting the fact that both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are life-long conditions, to help relieve the financial burden on patients.
It has asked for improved access to continuity of care and multi-disciplinary medical teams to assist people with IBD to better manage all aspects of their condition. Improved public access to toilet facilities has also been advocated for. When people with IBD are in the midst of a flare-up, they need access to toilets in a hurry.
The manifesto also stressed the need for a youth advocacy group so that young people with IBD can have their voices heard, talk to other people about their condition and campaign for policies that need to be changed.
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are both chronic auto-immune illnesses that affect an estimated 15,000 people in Ireland, and for which there is no known cause or cure. It is usually diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40, but can occur at any age. The conditions have similar symptoms, including abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fever, loss of appetite and weight loss. Left uncontrolled, symptoms may ‘flare up’, causing severe abdominal pain and frequent visits to the bathroom. When parts of the colon may become too inflamed, patients may need surgery and a life-long colostomy bag.
The participants who created the manifesto all agreed that their condition limited their personal choices, resulting in many dropping out of third level education, working part time rather than full time, opting for low stress lifestyles and less pressurised careers. Some are also fearful of starting a relationship or a family. However, the manifesto highlights that once symptoms are under control, people with IBD may be able to live a full life again.
“Inflammatory bowel disease can be devastating for young people. The symptoms make it difficult for people to discuss the disease, and this can often delay diagnosis and treatment,” said Prof Colm O’Morain, consultant gastroenterologist in Tallaght Hospital, Dublin.
“Advances in treatment and ability to diagnose can help young people to better live a normal life. I believe this manifesto will inspire many people to take control of their condition and pursue their dreams,” he said.
