International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders
August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month – Join the Campaign!
The International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders (IFFGD) successfully led efforts to make August a nationally recognized Gastroparesis Awareness Month—and we’re proud to continue leading the charge for change.
This August, we’re launching a special awareness campaign focused on increasing public understanding of gastroparesis, empowering patient advocates, and driving policy change. Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing educational resources, spotlighting personal stories, and highlighting the urgent need for research and better treatments.
We invite you to join our efforts by sharing our content, spreading the word on social media, and using our free media toolkit. Whether you post your own story or a fact about gastroparesis, don’t forget to use the hashtags #GPAdvocacy and #GastroparesisAwarenessMonth to help amplify our message and show your support for the community.
Together, we can raise awareness and advocate for meaningful change.
