Just been diagnosed with Crohns Disease. Symptons are pretty mild.

Is this likely to affect future Travel Insurance?

    Just found it myself actually it is a No Screen condition on the Lloyds Platinum Account Travel Insurance so automatically covered which is good news.

    Assuming you are paying extra for your separate policy (and you also have a Lloyd's platinum account) then you have missed that there is no need to declare it and are wasting your money on the separate policy

    So advising the OP "you have to declare it" was just unnecessary scaremongering??
