Hi, my name is Heather, and my son Sam who just turned six, has recently been diagnosed with Crohn's. There is also concern about his liver, and we meet with the Liver specialist in a couple of weeks. I am doing my best to remain sane, but am having trouble with that. He began having blood pass right before Thanksgiving. He hasn't gained weight in awhile, skinny little man. And I'm slightly terrified of whatever the Liver guy might have to say about his elevated liver enzymes. They have been slowly decreasing over the last month, but are still outside the normal range.
We are thinking about changing the whole family's dietary habits. My husband's family has a history of Crohn's and UC and some have had luck with diet changes.
I didn't know anything about IBD until a few weeks ago, so I'm sort of reeling from what I've learned and what I have left to figure out.
I guess I'm just looking to connect with people who will understand.
Thank you!
