How did you know when your kid has PSC?

[Guest guest]

I a worrier of course but I was wondering how people know when their

young children have PSC. My 6 1/2 year old has had some issues

before where he'd be constipated and stuff and then have diarhhea

and sometimes he forgets to flush. (Sorry this will be a little TMI

I'ms ure) and once I noticed blood in the toilet. I thought it was

just from being constipated.

Well a couple weeks ago he said his side was hurting (URQ) and I got

scared. My husband just told me I was over reacting. Well he was

saying his stomach hurt again today and after he was in bed I was

doing laundry and he forgot to flush again and his stool was very

very pale, like almost white. And it just scares me.

What things do I look for. We have 4 kids and between my health and

my husband's Crohn's disease I'm scared that at least one of my kids

will have something wrong.

What do I do? Just wait and watch?

my daughter was diagnosed with psc when she was 17. i sent her to the

dr. because she was so tired and was missing a lot of school.within 6

months she developed jaundice with nausea.you should talk to your sons

dr. and let him know about your concerns. blood test can be the only

thing that will show if he has a problem or not. i hope the best for

all of you

god bless

Hi ;

It would be worth having checked by his doctor. Better to have him

looked at rather than wait, watch and worry. I know it is extremely

tough to contemplate that your child may have something wrong, but in

the long run you'll feel better knowing that you did the right thing

for and had his symptoms evaluated by a doctor.

Best regards,

Hi

I agree with what says and you being a Mum will worry yourself

sick (and you can't afford to do that!!!) the longer you put off seeing

a Doctor.

Best wishes to all your family.
