Guest guest Posted May 25, 2001 Report Share Posted May 25, 2001 My cousin's son has been sick since last fall. Chronic diarrhea, stomach pain, leg pain,stomach distention, edema especially in the neck and face, weight loss, Low platelets, High liver enzymes, etc. His school is wanting him evaluated for ADHD. His pediatrician diagnosed Crohn's disease and sent him to a Pediatric GI who ran a couple of tests and then dropped him as a patient because my cousin had the nerve to ask questions. He is one sick little boy and my cousin doesn't know where to go from here. When I first heard his symptoms I thought of Celiac disease because through this diet I have read alot on it. My question especially from someone with first hand knowledge is, do you think this is celiac disease? I have been real hesitant to mention this to her because if it isn't I don't want to steer her away from the real diagnosis.
