Help me please

[Dobbo]

Hello All,

My name is Adam, and i need your help please.

I have been with my amazing girlfriend for the past three months, and she is a Crohn's sufferer. My knowledge of the disease is very limited and there are some things that she feels uncomfortable talking about, which is understandable.

If someone can email me or something to help me better understand this so I can be a better help to her, that would be great.

Thank you everyone

Hi Adam
I think it's really great that you want a deeper understanding of what your girlfriend is going through and you are very welcome here.
I would spend a bit of time browsing the forum. Do you know where in her bowel the Crohn's is located? Or what meds she's on? That would maybe give you something to focus your research on.
You can Google Crohn's and you'll get lots of info but the forum posts will give you an idea of the emotional impact etc that the disease can have on people.
Fire away with any questions and hope to hear from you again.

Just be supportive and gain as much knowledge through literature about the disease.Everyone has a different path dealing with this disease,but having someone stand by you through this is one of the best things you can do.
