Hi, i've just received a diagnosis I have Crohn's. It has completely confused me, I was having tests for something else, pleased it has been picked up in those tests. I don't really know much about Crohn's apart from reading online. Any advice or thoughts, would much be appriciated. Thanks x

    Hi @Barrington welcome to the Community. It can take some time to come to terms with a new diagnosis.

    Have you been given a Specialist Nurse at the hospital where you got your diagnosis? You should have been given a contact telephone number for any queries you might have.

    You might find the following links useful.

    Please take care of yourself.

    Hey there @Barrington and it's a big welcome to the community from me too.

    I'm glad they've picked up on it, but I'm sorry if it's been a bit much to take in, it's totally understandable. I can see Bluebell has given you some great links to read up on and hopefully some community members will be along to offer their lived experiences with you soon. 😊
