‘You need to be aware of your body and aware of any changes’

To mark World IBD Day on May 19th, The Echo spoke to Noel Connors, a 46-year-old father of four from Clondalkin who has been living with Crohn’s and Colitis since 2014.

IBD refers to Inflammatory Bowel Disease, an umbrella term for a group of chronic digestive conditions, such as Crohn’s and Colitis.
