I have a question for anyone that has a child 5 or under that has been diagnosed with some form of IBD. What medications have you tried/used for your child and were they successful? We have a meeting with our PED GI next week to check on Clark's progress/remission and it seems he is one of the youngest kids at this hospital with crohn's disease and I would like to have more information on treatment options for other children of the same age. I don't think the docs can give me many they have treated first hand. For those who don't know Clark is now 4 with severe crohn's located through out his whole system. He also has an EIM of juvenile arthritis. He was in remission with EEN until we reintroduced foods, even though we have since taken away foods again he still has some inflammation and we are addressing how to proceed from here. Stronger medications will be needed if we can't get him back in remission. I appreciate any feedback you can give me so I can be more prepared for his appointment.
