Mild Symptoms, how serious can they be?

[Farmwife]

I called the GI with an update about Grace. She's has..........
Nausea (new for her)
Pain in the right side
Constipation returning
Slow stomach mobility
Back pain (new for her)

All these are very mild. Nothing that stops life and I'm hoping they will go away.

Next thing I know is the GI wants to see her tomorrow.
He did have a cancellation, so that's the only reason I'm not panicking, worried but not panicked.


Has any of your kids had mild symptoms and had it turn out to be something more serious?

I just want too be prepared.:smile:

Whenever A has new symptoms the GI (or Rheumo) usually want to see her and work her into the schedule. Usually they'll do a quick exam, order labs, possibly schedule other tests as well.

I hope Grace feels better ASAP!

Yeah that- more than once we got can you come in in a day or two.
just easier to see and feel the kiddo to cut things off early.

as for her symptoms - DS has those fairly often but at this point in the game - nothing earth shattering.
good luck

M has literally all of those symptoms! They're slowly going away with Humira. In her case, the back pain is really sacroiliac joint pain.
Her pain on the right side of her belly was inflammation in her terminal ileum.

Yes, he wants to "lay eyes" on him. Hope it all is minor

Keep us updated, hope it turns out to be nothing!!!

I agree, Ella's GI always wants to check if new symptoms.
I hope it turns out to be nothing. xx

This is a slight concern because Grace's active disease is/was in this location.
I'm wondering if because her meds are helping get rid of her constipation, that her stool going through more often is causing inflammation in her TI? If that is the case will the meds have time to work before more damage is done.
Sorry just thinking out loud.


On the cute side,
Grace got up at 3:30AM :yfaint:and I walked in her room to see what in the world all the noise was about, Grace was fully dressed with socks and shoes on and sitting by her feet two big bags of toys. She smiled and said she's ready for the trip.
I smiled and said, GO BACK TO BED AND I'LL GET YOU UP IN THREE HOURS. :ylol:

Our GI/paediatrician would usually want to see Andrew if there are any new symptoms, mild or not. Hope it doesn't turn out to be anything very worrying.

Farmwife...was she sleep walking (well not walking but you get the idea)...O sleep walks when she is not feeling well, extremely over tired or stressed...her bedroom is at the top of stairs..We put bells on her door so we wake up as soon as she opens it. She even took a walk in the hospital while I was showering at 1:30 a.m...and she was still on c diff quarantine! A nurse found her...she said she the babies needed her and that she was going to the nursery to help. At least she had the mind to wheel her towers with her.

Hard to say. Probably best not to second guess. Most docs want to lay hands on the kid when there are new or severe symptoms. Doesn't mean something terrible is going on.

Hope it's no big deal.

Thanks everyone.

the GI thinks some of the symptoms could be side effects from the mtx or humira. He's wondering if lowering her Mtx will help but I want to wait a couple more doses and see how it goes. She's finally heading in the right direction, I don't want to rock this boat. If any symptoms gets beyond miserable for her we will reevaluate.

We discussed her second opinion and he agrees with the Mayo allergist, plus two other allergies Grace has been to that diet no longer matters. He gave the go ahead to slowly work one food group back at a time and avoid her known triggers. Which is great but all that means it's we can add back wheat, soy and peanuts. Still she'll be happy if she can pass them.

As to the EEN and g-tube...............a couple more years and we'll see how she's doing.:yfaint:

GI said some other things that made even my hubby go What ???????
I'll type more when my mind is called down.
