A motivating start to the new year
On January 11, 2026, we met at the Flörli in Olten for our first ordinary general assembly. It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the past year, acknowledge our first achievements, and discuss the next steps together.
Growth and togetherness: from 3 to 10 members
Since our foundation on January 10, 2025, in Zurich, a lot has happened: what started with three founding members has grown into a group of ten committed people who actively contribute to the association. This growth clearly shows how important exchange, mutual support, and a shared network are for those affected.
Strengthening the board
A particularly positive point of the meeting was the expansion of our board:
With Regula Roesle and Nicole Traber, we were able to welcome two motivated new board members who will help us further develop our work. They were unanimously elected and complement the existing team – Corinne, Liane, and Werner – perfectly, bringing fresh ideas and new energy. We are very pleased about these new perspectives and the strong support within the board.
Inspiration and exchange
In addition to organizational topics such as the revision of our statutes, there was also professional input:
In a short presentation, Liane introduced the concept of an anti-inflammatory diet and explained how balanced combinations of protein, vegetables, and healthy fats may help influence symptoms. The subsequent discussion offered the opportunity to share experiences and ask questions.
Our plans for 2026
For the coming year, we have defined several priorities and projects that will further strengthen our work:
- Increasing visibility
Our website will continue to be expanded and is now available in four languages. New flyers and roll-ups are also planned. - Strengthening networks with the medical community
The establishment of a medical advisory board is scheduled to be completed in 2026. Discussions with healthcare professionals will continue. - Expanding exchange of experience
Our regular exchange now takes place every two months on the 20th via Microsoft Teams. The next meeting will be held on January 20, 2026.
