Thank you. I had a nurse ask if there was something wrong with my son that he couldn't talk to her himself. I certainly let him speak, I just am the one to call the dr. And make things happen.

Thank you for your inquiries and advice. We asked our fam.dr. For a referral to Portland Gastro. They have several doctors and are more advanced than his present gastroenterologist. The referral went out August 20th so we should hear from them any day. In the mean time, my son is finally...

He is back to being in pain :( I didn't think about the sugar in the yogurt. I've also given him rice and tapioca pudding, I know they have a lot of sugar. Anxious to see another dr. Also to see a naturopathic physician. You all have given me info to go into the dr. With. If I don't know...

Oh and "IF" I have been telling him to eat yogurt to help with probiotics. I have never heard of "supervised bowel rest". I will check it out. I like more natural methods if they work!

Thank you all. I admit when I read the Prilosec page comments I panicked a bit, but as "my little Penguin" pointed out the only ones who have time to comment are those who are having the side affects. The ones it has helped are busy with their lives. It helped me a lot to read how it has...

This is what I wondered. I will definitely look into another opinion. I have had to wait 2 days for a return phone call, had attitudes why I am doing the advocating because he is an adult, and they said they never called in a prescription for steroids which they said they would do last week...

Thank you for your input. I have told him that he isn't eating. He doesn't seem too concerned because he doesn't have a fever and isn't vomiting. The CT scan showed a decrease in the inflammation in his colon and ileum so they think the med is working. I just don't see how his upper abdomen...

My 21 year old son has only been diagnosed with Crohn's since March. He initially took steroids, but has weened off of them. He has been on Asacol and it seemed to be working. For the past 3 weeks he can't eat and has been doubled over in pain if he so much as eats a pudding. He can't sleep...
