Welcome to the Crohn's Disease and You page

My intention for this site is to provide valuable links for people suffering from Crohn's Disease or know someone that is affected by the disease and seek information that may help improve their quality of life whilst dealing with this debilitating disease.

I am not a doctor or healthcare professional. I am a long-term suffer from Crohn's Disease which I contracted at the age of 18. I am now at the time of this writing 66 years of age. I have been through hell and back and a number of major surgical procedures dealing with the disease. I've had to find some of my own solutions for dealing with the disease [see 'My Battle With Crohn's Disease' here].

I have provided some valuable links from reputable organizations for those that are seeking immediate information. I have done my best to ensure that the links are from reputable knowledgable people and organizations, but take NO resposibility for the information provided or its accuracy.
