Is this TS? And what do I do now?

Cheri,

See that is just the thing. I have had so many people say in a shocked voice "You haven't taken him to an MD yet"??!!" Yes, I am going to take him to rule out anything physiological, but I do not think the answer lies with an MD. The answer lies in studying my son and doing my own research. The key is diet for Nathan. Of that I am sure.

Sorry..a bit off topic, but, Cheri... could you tell me what kind of symptoms/issues your son had that led to his diagnosis of Crohns?

 

Thanks!

Hi PMom

the first symptoms he had were an uncomfortable swallowing sensation. he always felt like something was blocking his throat. after that began GIT pain, poor digestion, frequent incomplete bowel movement with bleeding/mucous.

He would wake around 3am in severe pain and found that a banana or glass of milk would sooth it for an hour or so and then it would return full force..

He also became very anaemic and fatigued

 

We had transdermal testing done that kept coming back with possible parasites and epstein barr virus

He was also suspected having an ulcer

 

However, the colonoscopy/endoscopy revealed Crohn's
