5 year old just diagnosed with Crohn's

Hey everyone, just joined today. Last month after spending 3 days in the hospital my boyfriend and I learned that our poor and innocent 5 year old son had Crohns disease. Neither of us have any family history of it and we are looking to learn and get some advice . My son is so young I hate the idea of having him take medication for the rest of his life. Any suggestions for natural remedies ? Thanks

Danielle

Welcome to the forum MsDanielle, I'm truly sorry that your son has received this diagnosis, at the minute you probably fell very overwhelmed and maybe a bit out of control with all that is happening to him. I'm glad you joined us because you can now be part of a very supportive 'family'. We have sub-forums dedicated to parents

and also diet, fitness and supplements

http://www.crohnsforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=17

Have a look at these and you should find out what you are looking for. Also it would be good to post directly into the parents sub-forum as they will be very glad to help you and they have all been there and will appreciate how you feel.

How is your son doing now?

Hi Ms Danielle. I am sorry your baby has Crohn's. My kids got sick at 14 years old and I know how hard it is to make the decision about giving them meds. Specially at such young age. And like you, no family history. In here you will find a lot of support and information. there is the parents forum, you may want to check it out. I use some natural remedies along with medication. Hugs for you and your family.
