Totally agree covid effects each person in different ways. I just think it is very important for us parents to hear positive stories where covid is concerned rather than focusing on the what if"s s that may never happen. I am thankful to say I have not heard of any covid sufferers who have...

Thank you. I am really not going to worry myself about any after effects regarding Gi issues for my daughter. As our consultant did point out that Covid is a respiratory virus so IBD patients are at no greater risk.

Yes I agree it is very weird. All four members of our household had the virus at same time as my daughter, none of us had symptoms other than the tickle in the back of the throat. That prompted us to all get tested. We really would never have known we had the virus it was do mild. Over the...

Hello everyone, Wanted to let you all know that my 15 year old daughter tested positive for covid after it being in our household. My Daugter has crohns disease and has been on Humira for 3 years. We would never had known she had contracted covid because the only symptom that she had was a very...

Being from the UK I found this forum by chance. It was about a year on from my daughters diagnosis of crohns. I am so glad I did find it because I was in a really bad place. I took my daughters diagnosis quite badly and that was all down to Dr Google and Reading the worst possible cases etc...

Sorry when I say how important biologics is what I meant was if I knew that my daughter would go back to having a normal active life I would never of hesitated.

I agree totally with Jo-mom"s post. I also understand your concerns you are allowed to be worried this is so new to you all. If I knew at the beginning how important biologics is for treating a child with IBD I would not have worried myself to death. Biologics has been a complete life changer...

Thank you she really is doing great. We are in the UK and it really is way past my bedtime. Have a great day.

Hi, My 15 year old daughter was diagnosed with Crohns 3 years ago. She started on steroids and then onto Humira. Her gut healed quite quickly and she became quite well again almost straight away. In the three years since diagnosis she has gained over 3 stone in weight and grown 4 inches. She...

Hi, So sorry you have had to join this forum. It's very frightening on your child's diagnosis but things to calm down and your life becomes the new norm. My 14 year old daughter was diagnosed with Crohns age 12. She was put straight onto steroids and had an iron infusion. This seemed to...

Hi, I am from the UK and have a daughter 14 diagnosed at 12 with crohns. My daughter is also on humira, has been for two years now. She was started on a course of steroids which seem to kick in straight away. Then she was put on humira and has had no symptoms of crohns since being diagnosed...

So glad I have been able to help you feel a little better with it all. Getting the diagnosis is such a struggle to come to terms with. Once you do start to deal with it you will start to see things in a brighter way. I also wanted to mention that our daughter over this past year has been on...

Hi Nolan 11 and hi rest of the group. It's been a few weeks since I've been on here. It's been the long school summer holidays here in the uk so we've been making the most of good times. Really hope you and all your children are well. Nolan 11 just thought I would share my daughters...

How right you are. My daughter has gone from being a very shy quiet girl from a very confident willful young lady. She will talk very easily to adults, I guess that has come from all the doctors and nurses etc that they have to talk with. Even more determined to get on and do well at school...

Thank you all so much for your lovely sweet replies. When my daughter was diagnosed just under two years ago I was in such a bad place and really struggled to see any light at the end of the tunnel. However I have now come to realise a diagnosis was the best thing that could have happened with...

Hello everyone hope you are all well. I've not been on for a while but over the last couple of months my daughter has had all the annual tests. MRI, Ultrasound, cal tests, bloods, and scopes. All good news scopes show that all ulcers and inflammation have healed. Bloods all good and cal...

I find it really interesting to read how all our consultants work differently. My daughter will have the two day liquid and jelly diet and on the second day will have a very gentle laxative. That will be one dose in the morning and one at night.

Hi Lisa, luckily we have an early appointment. Prep is liquid only two days before the procedure. Can include jelly, squash. Milkshakes. Unfortunately my daughter doesn't like milkshakes. So I think it will be lots of jelly.

Hi all, my daughter is having a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks. I am thinking back to the first time she had one and how difficult it was with the two day liquid only prep. Any tips on making the prep easier for her? . The first day of prep will be a Friday and she still wants to attend...

Thank you for sharing your story. My 13 year old daughter has crohns so to hear you can have a healthy pregnancy with crohns is good to hear. Congratulations and wishing you well.
