Every year on May 19, millions across the globe unite to observe IBD Awareness Day 2025, also known as World Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Day, a vital occasion that shines a spotlight on Inflammatory Bowel Disease—a chronic condition that affects the digestive tract and impacts the daily lives of patients in profound ways.

In 2025, this awareness campaign becomes even more meaningful with a call to break the silence and dismantle stigma. The emphasis this year is not just on education but also on starting real, open conversations about IBD, its symptoms, and holistic ways to manage it, like yoga.

The 2025 theme builds upon the spirit of global unity expressed in last year’s "IBD Has No Borders." This year, the message takes a bold leap forward by urging us to break cultural and social taboos around discussing IBD, especially those related to bowel health.
