Young people living with GI disorders face unique challenges as they navigate pediatric care systems and transition into adult healthcare. Yet, youth perspectives are often underrepresented in national GI advocacy, education, and research efforts. Establishing a formal Young Advocates in GI committee will help ensure that IFFGD’s programs, resources, and advocacy initiatives are informed by the voices and lived experiences of those directly impacted. This committee will also provide a supportive space for young patients to connect, share their stories, and collaborate in meaningful ways.
