Josh has Crohn's Disease :(

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

We are just a bit bummed out now. Actually I want to scream and pound my

fists. We found out that Josh has a very early diagnosis of Crohn's disease.

After a Ct, colonoscopy, stool sample and blood worka the Dr. came to the dx

of Crohn's. Although Josh is doing well now ( he was really suffering over

the winter) the Dr. still believes this is the correct dx.

When the Dr. was speaking to us Josh said " oh great, another disease I have

to deal with " . My heart just sank for the poor guy. He already deals with

so much and now another problem.

Any one else dealing with both diseases? I am just curious as to what we are

really in for in the future. How do you handle flare ups, what meds, and do

you restrict their diet

Any info would be greatly appretiated. You can email me privately at

Joshscure@....

Thanks

Mom to Josh 9 wcf and 4 nocf but wants to do therapy for

his brother.
