Hi my names kia im mum to bailey whos 5 and i have another sone whos 2 ive found this forum by doing lots of research into crohn's diseas after spending the last year fighting for my son bailey to be looked at, heres basically how it started and why i think he may have crohn's
About a year ago bailey started having bad tummy pains he would cry and run to the toilet he would sit in tears but nothing would happen he would come away very upset with a tender tummy all of a sudden he would need to go right then and wouldnt always make it to the toilet i took him to the docs who did wee and stool samples and we waited they all came back ok and she shrugged it off as a virus we found that this kept happening he would complain of tummy aches allt he time mostly when eating sasyin he couldnt eat as his tummy urt we though he was maybe puttin it on so he didnt have to eat his dinner, but out of the blue the runny poos started again and this carried on like this he would wake some days and look so pale his eyes looked so dull he looked really ill i would say are u ok darling and his respone yeah just my tummy hurts a bit and he would sit quite he dosney seem to have gained any weight at all in the past year and this has carried on witht he tummy pains the crying etc, he had a bout of sickness and had tummy pains and i had taken him to see the doctor who admitted him to pospital think he had problems with his apendix test showed this wasnt the case the doc said he probs had tummy pains from being sick so much so i said ok and took him home, he started kerate lessons and we had to stop as he couldnt manage anything to do with it without havin to stop u would see him flinch in pain and grab his stomach, his class teacher pulled me aside and said bailey cant complete a full P.E lesson he has to sit down says his tummy hurts.
My friend has tried to say to me hes doing it for attention etc he just dnt wanna eat etc but how can a 5 year old keep this up for a year? surly thats not possible im really worried about him and ive finally got my doctor to do something he had blood tests in august which came back 'reasonable' ccording to the receptionist but the tummy pains and loose poos have continued so ive been back again to the g.p and she has finally re-booked the blood tests and he has been refered for a scan of his abdomen which is a week tomorrow.
is this all in my head or could he have crohns? im just not sure what to think im sorry my post is so long winded im just going out of my mind with worry and need to know whats going on with y little boy x

I see you have posted in the Parents of Kids with/IBD so I will lock this one as we're not really geared up for kids here
