Morning, new to this so just hope this works!
My 12 year old son was diagnosed 2 weeks ago after having a colonoscopy (top and bottom) only happened very quickly in total 4 weeks from first mention of symptons to diagnosis.
He has been put on Modulen 5 x 500ml a day, and started on Monday, really struggling with it, he hates it and hasnt been to school at all this week. He is struggling with drinking the full amount, dietician has told us to half them, and also to add Nesquick, which he tried and said it tasted slightly better.
He has never had a big appetite or drank alot, and always hated milkshake type drinks, so not good to start with. Just worried that he isnt drinking enough, or taking in enough of the modulen.
Any help of support would be very welcome, especially from anybody that has a 12 year old going through a similar thing. Also have an older boy who isnt being very nice at the moment, been calling him names and hiding his things, he is 15 and in his gcse year at school, so to be honest all a bit horrible at the moment.
Sorry for the moaning and rambling.
Look forward to reading any replied, and thankyou.
