Anyone know of online support groups for Ulcerative Colitis?

I'm 29 and have had ulcerative colitis for 4 yrs. now and would like to find a support group. We don't have any in my area to attend. So online is the next best thing I guess.

Support Groups:
Social support can often help with the stress of dealing with illness, and support group members may also have useful tips for finding the best treatment and coping with the condition.

The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) may be accessed at www.ccfa.org.

Here are some other links to try

There is a wonderful site known as IBD Sucks, which is a very appropriate title.

It's at http://qurlyjoe.bu.edu/webx?14...

You can ask anything there and get an honest answer because we're all going through it too. (I have Crohn's). Everyone is supportive. Report It
