My son was diagnosed with Crohns 2017 at the age of 13. Took over a year to diagnose, not gaining weight and persistent belly aches.
First treatment enteral nutrition, feeding tube for 5 weeks, liquid diet to rest the intestines. Worked wonderfully. After that started Humira,
Worked for almost 2 years, but unfortunately started having side effects, foot rashes and swelling and now psoriasis. Plus not helping the belly. Recent colonoscopy not good. Doctor prescribing Stelara now. Difficult, stressful times.
