Just an update on my sons diagnosis, we've finally had the results of the colonoscopy biopsies and everything has come back clear, definately no colitis and definately no crohns. We're going for an appointment later this week to discuss the findings more thouroughly as he is still bleeding when...

Thankyou Clash, it's really helping being able to talk to others in the same situation, I'm so worried, I've not slept properly for weeks, as a Mum you just want to make everything Ok and I can't.
