Over 1 million residents in the USA and 2.5 million in Europe are estimated to have
IBD
, with substantial costs for health care. These estimates do not factor in the 'real' price of
IBD
, which can impede career aspirations, instil social
stigma
and impair quality of life in patients. The majority of patients are diagnosed early in life and the incidence continues to rise; therefore, the effect of
IBD
on health-care systems will rise exponentially. Moreover,
IBD
has emerged in newly industrialized countries in Asia, South America and Middle East and has evolved into a global disease with rising prevalence in every continent. Understanding the worldwide epidemiological patterns of
IBD
will prepare us to manage the burden of
IBD
over time. The goal of this article is to establish the current epidemiology of
IBD
in the Western world, contrast it with the increase in
IBD
in newly industrialized countries and forecast the global effects of
IBD
in 2025.

Canada has among the highest rates of
IBD
in the world, and the number of people living with these disorders is growing rapidly. This has placed a high burden on the health care system and on the Canadian economy-a burden that is only expected to grow in the future. It is important to understand
IBD
and its impact on Canadian society in order to appropriately plan for health care expenditures, reduce the burden on patients and their families, and improve the quality of life for those afflicted with
IBD
. In Canada, there is a lack of public awareness of the impact of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Raising awareness is crucial to reducing the social
stigma
that is common with these diseases and to help individuals maximize their overall quality of life. A better public understanding of
IBD
can also help to raise and direct funds for research, which could lead to improved treatments and, ultimately, to a cure. This report from Canadian clinicians and researchers to Crohn's and Colitis Canada makes recommendations aimed at the public, policy-makers, scientific funding agencies, charitable foundations and patients regarding future directions for advocacy efforts and areas to emphasize for research spending. The report also identifies gaps in knowledge in the fields of clinical, health systems and epidemiological research.

Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with stigmatising symptoms. Online support platforms eschew
stigma
, thus may appeal more to men who avoid traditional forms of health support. Using a critical realist netnographic approach and inductive thematic analysis, this study examined six blogs written by UK-based men to explore how inflammatory bowel disease was narrated. Three subthemes and one overarching theme -
The (in)visible paradox of
IBD
- were developed. Findings suggest private aspects of inflammatory bowel disease risk experiential erasure, whereas public aspects lack control. Blogging facilitates the regaining of control, leading to important support connections and a re-imagining of the male inflammatory bowel disease body.
