Research shows poor sleep quality can significantly impact inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Sleep deprivation raises inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP, which drive gut inflammation. One study found IBD patients with poor sleep (PSQI >5) had relapse rates of 47% at 3 months and 67% at 6 months, compared with 0% in patients with healthy sleep. With up to 50% of IBD patients reporting sleep issues during flares, improving sleep—especially slow-wave sleep (SWS)—may be as crucial as diet in achieving remission. Sleep is not just rest; it regulates immunity, gut function, and relapse risk.
6 successful people with IBD. IBD doesnt define us, and it doesnt need to hold us back either. Sometimes, i like to remind myself, there are people who who have come out of the other side. Found what works for them, and still built a successful, fulfilling life. If they did it, and you are ambitious, you can do it to!

The IB3 Discreet pad is designed for one purpose — to give you total confidence against bowel leakage, without bulk, noise or embarrassment.
Ive been there. Oversized, bulky, designed for urine. Let me make this easy for you:
No bulk at front or where it isn't needed. Absorbent core designed specifically for faecal (NOT urine!!)
Genuinely discreet. Only the people you want to know will know what you're dealing with.
We mean this. A leak is a genuine disaster. No questions asked, money back!

1 in 80 adults experience FI. Yeah, thats more than i thought too. It feels very isolating doesn't it.
Well, my mission is to give you confidence. Thats what the IB3 pad does.
Discreet packaging. Discreet when wearing.
To inspire confidence, not shame.
