IMAGINE Webinar Series: Gut Feelings - An IBD & IBS Digital Storytelling Event

Six individuals share their stories of living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and/or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and their struggles with diet and/or mental health. This educational event was a collaboration between the IMAGINE SPOR Network and AbSPORU Patient Engagement Team. The “Gut Feelings: Digital Storytelling Event” took place on February 9, 2023 via Zoom.

Did you know that Canada has one of the highest rates of IBD and IBS disorders in the world?

People living with GI disorders have higher rates of anxiety and depression compared to the general population and patients with anxiety and depression are reported to have more GI symptoms. Learn more about the statistics in Canada and what the IMAGINE Network is by clicking here.

IMAGINE will be developing innovative therapies and novel probiotics for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). We’ve been patient-driven in setting priorities for this work. We believe IBD and IBS are caused by an immune response to the disturbance in the gut’s microbiome, and we know diet plays a key role in shaping the gut microbiome.
