Just wanted to let you know we got the biopsy results back from her endoscopy and colonoscopy. They were all negative for IBD. Her small intestine is almost healed from the celiac, the gastritis is gone. This is all terrific news. Now we are trying a different angle to find the cause of her...

Thanks. I am hoping to get the biopsy results today. If not, we should have them tomorrow.

Thanks everyone. The procedures went well. However, we still don't have any answers. The colon looked great. She still has edema in the duodenal bulb and redness in the esophagus. Now we have to wait for the biopsies to come back. So, we continue the protonix and wait until we hear from...

We made it through the night. Poor thing is still going! She is still miseable with the cramping too. I can't wait for this to be over. We have to be at the hospital at 11:30 for a 1 PM procedure. Thank you so much for all your support and help!

They only said no red. I have avoided purple too.

That would be true! We have an hour's drive too. Thanks for the support ladies. I have peppermint tea steeping for the crampy tummy. She wants me to watch a movie with her while waiting for daddy to get back from the store with more orange popsicles since there were only 3 in the box.

Thanks for the advice and the first laugh all day. I just hate all this. It is very overwhelming to have her diagnosed last month with celiac and possibly this month with Crohns. She has been through the ringer these past 3 months.

She had to take 2 dulcolax at 8AM and another 2 at 8PM. She drank all the miralax over 2-1/2 hours. It is coming out more and more clear each time. I am hoping that starts to settle down soon so the pedialyte can work. She is light headed and her mouth is dry. Silly me, I thought I was on...

Thanks. It is just so hard to watch her be so miserable on top of everything else.

DD finished the miralax 2 hours ago. I have been pushing all kinds of fluids all day. We mixed the miralax in gatorade as instructed. She is still feeling light headed. I am pushing pedialyte now. She is also in misery. She has the cramping on top of the pain she already has. She is so...

Talked to the doctor. I asked if it could be Crohn's. She said we can't rule it out even though her labs are normal. And, since she has 1 autoimmune disease, she could have another. We talked about all her symptoms again and everything that has been going on. So, we are doing another...

Thanks! All the bloodwork came back normal as well as the ultrasound. Waiting to hear what the next step is. Celiac labs are improving.

CarolinAlaska, I was afraid of that. I called the doctor to ask about the tests last week. I am not good at waiting. So, now I have to wait for them to call me back. We have a good ped GI and I have been told she will keep digging until we get to the bottom of this. I just hate that my...

No, knee pain has only been the last couple of weeks. Fevers have been since December. Of course, that doesn't address the extreme abdominal pain.

Doc wants to see if the celiac blood work is going down. We have been so careful with the diet. Doc is also looking at CBC, liver profile, kidneys, ESR, amylase and lipase. All that stuff came back normal before, so we will see. I was actually surprised the SED rate came back normal the 1st...

New here. We are trying to figure out what is wrong with our 10 yo daughter. She has been ill since Thanksgiving. She had bronchitis and was on atb's and steroids. She also has asthma. While on atb's, she developed knife-like stomach pains. We figured it was the atb;s and she would be...
