Concerned about my son

[ronroush7]

He has been burping and had a lot of gas and also heartburn lately. Since I have Crohns, I am concerned there is a greater chance of him having some form of IBD.

 

[Optimistic]

I get why you worry. I would too. But there really are many many other things that could he driving his trouble and most are much better than having IBD! I hope this is a temporary problem.

Only siblings have a pretty high risk (30% ) versus the average person
I will say we did have our other child to a Gi very early when any symptoms started to show ( not Ibd btw )
Family history is important
But ds is a prime example of no family history

It might be something minor

Taking him to a Gi is a good start

My wife reminded me tonight it is not necessarily Crohn's
