We have FOUR kids - 10mo, 4, 7, and 9. Our 9 year old was diagnosed with Crohn's at 6, right smack dab when we wanted to have our fourth and final. He's had his ups and downs for sure. We were shocked when he was diagnosed because Celiac is on the maternal side big time. We thought it was...

I just looked over my records and magnesium was never checked on John's initial bloodwork--when his symptoms really got bad in '10. This bloodwork was ordered by his PED, along with a host of other tests (flora, c-diff, allergies i.e. soy, etc). His specialist is really sort of hit or miss...
