IBD PEEPS: Do you donate blood???

Lauren Of Emerald CityMember

As a person with IBD, I am not sure if me donating blood that I can potentially give IBD to someone else. Since IBD and Autoimmune disease is in our system and DNA, I am not sure if giving blood can make them get it too.

***I read studies that say its okay and I read studies that say its NAY***

Yes you can donate blood. I have. Just go to the American Red Cross blood donation site and there is a list of contraindications for donation.
