All the Info In One Place

The Crohn's and Colitis UK website is a treasure trove of information. The charity has been going since

1979 which is probably before a lot of you were born, so it's no surprise that Crohn's and Colitis UK is where health professionals send newly diagnosed IBDers. 

There are also other issues relating to the impact and management of IBD which can particularly affect young people such as self-image, emerging sexuality, first relationships, leaving home, transferring from paediatric to adult health care, disclosing IBD to healthy peers, trying to fit your IBD needs in with your lifestyle, and even over-protective parents. These issues too can have an impact on confidence, self-esteem, well-being, and ability to cope with IBD.

On the main website there's a page called "Supporting Young People" which has information tailored especially for you. 

If you want to find out more about the charity, its people and its history, check out the About Us page on the main website too.
