I'm Kaylaa', nice to meet you!
Since I was diagnosed with IBD in 2020, I've been using my social media platforms (@wildflouwir on Instagram & TikTok) to spread awareness, educate, and advocate for IBD patients while sharing my journey with Crohn's disease. Five surgeries, and four years later, I'm endlessly proud of the community I've been able to foster and the opportunities I've been given to contribute to the IBD community who's helped me through the darkest times of my illness. ​
