Hi my name is Anne and my daughter Jessica has Crohns disease. she was diagnosed in February 2008. She is now 12 years old. She had been suffering with bad stomach pains and was losing weight. Finally they put her in the hospital and did tests and diagnosed her. She has been on steroids, pentasa, and 6mp. She recently started remicaid and has had 4 treatments. She seems to be getting thin ner and thinner yet her stomach is always very bloated. Doctor called me Thursday and after looking at her blood work then sent her for CT scan.
Anyways he told us that the meds are not working and she has a blockage. The opening is so small that her food can not get through. So they are talking about surgery now. We are still waiting for a call back from doc. In the mean time I am worrying about her getting thinner everyday. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Anne
