- People newly diagnosed with IBD and UK patients navigating daily life
- Worth noticing
- The site explicitly avoids universal diet advice and focuses on pattern-tracking, NHS advocacy, work adjustments, travel, insurance, and benefits.
Field notes
The homepage pairs a personal diagnosis account with a four-point “day one” guide, including reminders to contact a care team when something feels wrong and not to treat a worst-case possibility as a forecast. The author also points readers toward material on self-tracking and preparing for short consultations. A book is listed for 28 January 2027; the page offers a notification signup rather than presenting it as available now.
