Description
As humans, we’re hardwired for connection. Belonging to a community makes us feel safe and helps us thrive.
But so often, living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can make you feel physically and emotionally isolated. Not only can it be hard to do things you loved before your diagnosis, but it can also feel like no one understands what it’s like.
Until now.
Our mission is to cultivate a space powered by the IBD community and empowered by each other. From one-to-one chats to conversation forums, we make connecting easy. This is a safe place to find and receive advice, to seek and offer support, and to discover the authentic stories of members, just like you.
Bezzy IBD is a free online platform bringing new meaning to the word “community.”
Our aim is to create an experience where:
- everyone feels seen, valued, and understood
- everyone’s story matters
- shared vulnerability is the name of the game
Bezzy IBD is a place where you are more than your IBD. It’s a place where, finally, you belong.

Ratings and Reviews
Great App, just needs option to edit posts/ comments!
Really great community with tons of helpful information and resources
Really frustrated trying to create an account.
OK, so here’s the deal……
Getting VERY frustrated in trying to just set up my account due to problems with the app. I tried reporting the problem from the App Store but that reporting process didn’t work because it would not allow me to select the product because my account creation process in the app could not be completed.
Hopefully the developer will see the bad review, read it and try to fix the problem.
Two complaints about this app.
The country selection scroll doesn’t work properly on an iPhone so I had a REALLY difficult time picking my country. It wouldn’t properly…. As soon as I tried it would immediately select whatever was showing on the screen. Not a show stopper because I finally was able to get where I needed to be and select…. But it took 20-30 attempts. Not impressed.
The problem that stopped me in my tracks is when it wants to text me a 6 digit 2-factor identification code to my phone. I entered my phone number, however it immediately pops up an error and a stupid joke (hahaha) saying that my number is a VOIP which cannot be used. Where you get the idea that this is a VOIP is beyond me. This is NOT a VOIP number, it is attached to my cell phone carrier. I also tried another cell number and had the same problem. I was going to put in my landline but that wouldn’t work because, you know, it’s a land line which won’t receive a text!!
So, as much as I’d like to be able to use this app, I cannot because I’m unable to complete the setup!! Because I can’t complete the setup I cannot report the problem through the App Store which would then notify the developer.
In my opinion, a flawed app.
I’ll just have to wait….. check back one day to see if this ever gets resolved.
An amazing app
This app is truly an amazing app. I’ve met, helped, and been helped by so many. I love how this app is helped many people. I love how this app has helped a community of people that needed it.
