OT? Son is sick and getting symptoms back...

[Guest guest]

My son has been really good about following the diet. His symptoms have greatly

diminished in the past 6 weeks, even though he hasn't taken his medication

regularly. (He's 14 and was diagnosed with UC on July 31 - started diet on

August 16.) He's been feeling really good, no D, very little B and no problems.

Until just a little while ago...

He's been home sick for the past couple of days with a bad cough, fever,

headache and upset stomach. He hasn't eaten as much as normal and he hasn't

eaten anything new. He just told me that he's bleeding more all of the sudden

and he's a bit scared by it.

For those of you with UC, can this be a " normal " thing when someone gets sick?

Should we push chicken soup and applesauce for a few days again?

Thanks,

Liz
