Hi Ken,
While I admire the fact that you're making the effort to get informed, and trying to be as supportive as you can in this new relationship, the first place to start might be to simply have a personal conversation with your new girlfriend. I wouldn't try to get too personal, or be pushy, but ask her the questions you've asked here. Explain that you're trying to show support and sensitivity. I'm sure she'll appreciate the concern and respect. Sidebar to that, I would try to familiarize yourself with her condition. You can research the Crohn's and Colitis website, or ask a few questions here. Good luck going forward in your new relationship.
