Topic context

Understanding crohn’s disease

Crohn’s disease is a long-term inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that comes and goes in flares, with periods of remission in between. It can bring pain, urgent trips to the bathroom, fatigue and surgery, and it often begins in young adulthood.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with crohn’s disease

Peer support can help with Crohn’s disease because the symptoms are private and unpredictable, which leads many people to cancel plans and withdraw. A group that meets online is still there on the days you cannot go out.

Inside the room

What crohn’s disease groups often cover

  • Flares that arrive without warning
  • Food, eating out and travel
  • Remission that could end at any time
  • Surgery, an ostomy and body confidence

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Good fit for

Who these groups may help

  • People diagnosed with Crohn’s disease
  • People who cancel plans because of symptoms

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free online support group for Crohn’s disease?

Not as a separate group. People with Crohn’s are welcome in the chronic illness groups on this page, which include members with many conditions, and in the gentle sessions such as stretching.

What if I need to step away during a group?

You can leave and come back whenever you need to, and nobody will ask why.

Is this page for ulcerative colitis too?

Ulcerative colitis has its own page, and the same groups welcome people with either condition.

Where can I find medical information about Crohn’s disease?

The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation (crohnscolitisfoundation.org) publishes information for patients and caregivers, and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (niddk.nih.gov) has plain-language guides.
