Guest guest Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 My 11 year old daughter was just diagnosed with UC. The diagnosis should not have been surprising since she has had stomach problems since she was about 13 months old. Doctors always thought she had celiac due to her stature until she was diagnosed with acid reflux and esophagitis. So we were told to push grains (especially whole grains) and she was not lactose intolerant (as I thought) as it was the fat in the milk products are the cause of her problems. BTW the grains and lacotse did not work out so well as she just spent 5 days in the hospital and was diagnosed with UC. After her new diagnosis, I was lucky enough to know someone with experience with the SCD and she helped me started it for her Monday. She is also on a smorgasbord of pharmaceuticals that I really hope to get her off ASAP. She is still losing weight even while on 40 mg of prednisone and still has a massive stomach ache. So my question us when will she start to feel better? Anyone else have experience with children? Any advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
