• Welcome to Crohn's Forum, a support group for people with all forms of IBD. While this community is not a substitute for doctor's advice and we cannot treat or diagnose, we find being able to communicate with others who have IBD is invaluable as we navigate our struggles and celebrate our successes. We invite you to join us.

Welcome to the Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender (GLBT) & Straight Allies forum. It's hard enough having Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis or another form of IBD and even harder when you are a minority within a minority group. Whether you are single or partnered, queer or straight, please know you are welcome here!

Topics in the group can range from but are not limited to discussion on dating/relationships, discrimination/homophobia, health disparities, sexuality, or just simply to be social and chat amongst friends.

Please join us and introduce yourself and/or bring up a topic for discussion. Everyone is welcome and it's a safe space so please don't pass judgement on anyone.

There can never be a way to thank everyone that participates on this forum for all of the work and efforts and time put forth to just make it happen and keep it alive... I stumbled upon this forum yesterday in a desperate attempt to educate myself for the man I hope to spend the rest of my life with. I will be forever grateful to all of you.
