Congrats Liz on starting to ride and I'm really glad for you that you overcame Crohn's. I have a friend who suffered a lot from it and he was quite sure he'd never turn 30, grew very cynical about life, but survived and now he's about 35 with a great wife and kids. I'm quite sure that exercise will do wonders on you, along the regular stuff of course... Just make sure you don't overtrain (it can weaken the immune system), but ride! ride! ride!

Cheers!
