"Use that pain, and put it into your art. Don't let it use you."

In the first interview of our IBD Awareness Campaign, Lowell talks with Mike McCready, lead guitarist of Pearl Jam, to talk about life with IBD. He shares openly and honestly about his Crohn's disease, including what happened to Mike when they were opening up for his favorite band, The Rolling Stones. 

Mike talks about how much the landscape has changed over the years, from a time when no one talked about IBD, to now, where there’s a growing community and support. They cover everything from the shame and stigma that often come with these diseases to the healing power of music and finding people who understand what you’re going through. 💚

We’re so honored to have Mike help us kick off this series, and so excited to share more conversations like this in the weeks ahead!

Share and help us spread awareness about what it’s really like to live with IBD. The more we talk about it, the less alone people feel.
