Ah ha, I'm learning something new every day! Thanks xmdmum, maybe it's not as bad after all :)

Thanks for your reply Polly, I'm sorry to hear that your daughter has it, I hope she is doing much better now. Did she just get worse and worse until you worked out what it was? I feel like no one is willing to admit that there could be something going on, I keep hearing 'it might be something...

Hi everyone, here's an update of what happened today. She's getting referred to the gastroenterologist, but the paediatrician said he would talk to them about starting pentasa without having to see her first as it might be a bit of a wait. He didn't want to put her on it until he had spoken to...

My 3 year old already complains when he looks at photos on my phone 'oh mum not another picture of baby sisters poo!' Thanks for all your inputs everyone, I might take carrots off the menu for a little while, sounds like they could be a funny one for a lot of people! What a shame it's one of...

Wow thank you so much everyone for replying. I've already been chasing up her first referral to see the paediatrician, took the GP 3 weeks to do, and once we have an appointment I'll be contacting our paediatric gastroenterologist we saw in Sydney to check if he thinks everything is going...

Oh wow what an amazing resource! Gonna have a good old read of those tonight! Oh bugger, I really hope we've caught it early then, or it miraculously cures itself.... I also wanted to ask in regards to a 'flare', if it's not treated, would it gradually get worse, or can it get better on it's...

Thanks Jabee, I've been trying to educate myself with all the articles on it online. When you say Crohn's behaves differently in young children, in what way? Thanks again :)

Hi everyone! Just come across this forum, seems so interesting and supportive, so I thought I would get your views on my little girl. Even just to chat to people who maybe have gone through the same situation would be nice! So here's our story so far... Daughter was born, and at 2 weeks old...
