Thank you for the encouragement... I do keep track of his symptoms. I even kept a poop diary for about a month. I'm really starting to think that he may have been misdiagnosed with Crohn's. I got Ethan an appointment at the children's hospital in Madison, WI for this Friday!! THANK GOD!! The...

I got the test results finally after arguing with them and telling them I am going to take him to Madison, WI to get a second opinion. They told me the stool tests were negative and the blood work is normal. So okay then why is my child still sick?? They act like I am making it up... I am so...

This update about Claire makes me want to cry... No child should ever have to go through things like having Crohn's. I'm extra emotional from my 6 week old niece being in a children's with bacterial meningitis and my son's crohn's is horrible too. It's just not fair... Praying for these kids to...

Yeah it is horrible that this Dr. is dragging his feet so much... My son is suffering from Crohn's and they take their sweet time and it makes me mad. So far he had an awful weekend. He isn't even acting like himself lately. He is like a little zombie. We went to the zoo and children's museum in...

It's been a week and most of Ethan's test results are not back. They wouldn't tell me the results of the ones that were back. So now we wait until Monday. I hate having Ethan on Prednisone for so long and they take their sweet time before they do anything new with him. Ethan had a horrible...

When I called the GI about the blister yesterday they were thinking that it may be from the meds. I know that prednisone can make your skin thin. Maybe his diaper rubbed slightly and caused the blister. Good to know it probably isn't the Crohn's that gave him a blister...Hoping for more answers...

Thanks everyone! It is so nice to get input. They actually tested my son for some of his allergies went they took biopsies from his endo and colonoscopy. I know they for sure tested milk from the biopsy and blood. The dr. is more confindent of the results of the biopsy than blood tests. We...

I appreciate everyone's responses I don't know anyone with a child that has Crohn's so it nice to get insight from others that do. Ethan was allergy tested a couple of times and milk or lactose was never an issue. I had him on soy and lactose free for about a month and it didn't make a...

Glad your son is doing well with his Crohn's... :)

The only bad thing is when I stop giving him the Zantac (which was prescribed by his GI Dr. he projectile vomits every day.) When he takes it he doesn't vomit. I will have to wait and see what the Dr. says. I am thinking that the blister is more from the prednisone or the crohn's. I will ask the...

Hi Ari! Thanks for your response. I am all for vitamins but the GI dr. doesn't want me giving him any and I don't know why. The citrus would be good but his gut doesn't handle it well and it makes him even sicker with frequent loose stool. I will have to research Hep A I have never heard of it...

How is claire doing... I know all too well about those tests and preps. Did you get any results yet??

Hi everyone... I came here to learn more about Crohn's and try to find some answers. My son was diagnosed with Crohn's at 14 months old. He started displaying Crohn's symptoms when I weaned him from breastfeeding at 11 months old. Now today he is 17 months old and weighs 20.8 pounds. He was...

Thanks everyone for the support. I have posted about my son in the parent of kids IBD forum. I have ulcerative colitis so I can somewhat relate to what my son is going through. But it is frustrating when something cannot be fixed...

Yeah even though he tested negative for milk allergies too I had him on soy and lactose free milk for a month and it still didn't help... Good idea though because some people have a hard time breaking down the lactose and get stomach symptoms and poops.

He has had tons of allergy testing and he has no allergies. He had an endo and colonoscopy. He also had a small bowl study where he drank barium and they x-rayed it going down. They tested him for celiac disease twice. I got a call today from the Dr. office. They said his Prednisone should have...
