Crohn's Disease Forum
This is a forum which brings together victims of the Crohn's disease the world over. It also includes people suffering from ulcerative diseases, gastrointestinal and bowel related diseases and conditions as well as other forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. This forum offers members the chance to meet other people who suffer from similar diseases and share their conditions and at the same time get informational tips and support to help them cope with these conditions. People of all genders and age are welcome to these forums no matter what their condition is. And you will get all the confidentiality that you want because this forum provides anonymous posting which goes a long way to ensure that everybody gets the support and help they may need.
Most if not all of the forums require registration which is normally free. Members are advised to get acquainted with the rules and regulations before joining.
New members are encouraged to reveal their stories and introduce themselves to all the members. They are further encouraged to feel free and pour their hearts out, for it is always said that the first step of solving a problem is sharing it out. By doing this, the victims of these diseases are able to know that thousands of people also suffer from these diseases and not just them alone. They also learn how their fellows coped and can also learn a few tips from them.
This forum has a wealth of resources at its disposal to help the people with Crohn's. This is because, due to a growing number in the membership of those with this condition, people have been contributing materials and resources to help their fellow friends and families alike. In one site alone, I found that there were 414 topics and 871 responses and comments. This means there is a good chance you will find the best answer to your question.
The forum also extends an olive branch to people who may know people suffering from these conditions and inform them of the presence of such forums where they can meet and exchange views with people who suffer from similar conditions.
You are also, as a victim, able to see what other people have said, what questions they asked and the comments they make without necessarily registering. This just means you can gain a lot of information by merely visiting the site. The goodness of it all is that the info that you will get is not from some professor who claims to know much about these conditions but from the victims themselves.
