Oh Stephanie! I can't even imagine what you're going through. Yes, I do think they they are going to laugh and say it's impossible. I mean, seriously - the odds are SO CRAZY SLIM for once child that age to have it - but all three? no way! Maybe there's something else going on - some sort of infection that is mimicking the symptoms - since all three are experiencing...

Hello, I was chatting with you a few weeks ago about my son possibly having Celiac, and your daughter's possible Celiac/Crohn's. I'm just wondering if you've been to see the Ped GI? Have you learned anything? We may be in the same boat. My 6 month old son's latest tests showed a high sed rate (inflammation) and fat malabsorption (along with failure...

Thanks so much to everyone for taking time to answer my questions! What a great forum full of wonderful, caring people. Fiddle-Faddle, you asked great questions. Here are my responses: It is possible! I definitely have Crohn's, as I've experienced lots of large and small bowel damage and had resection surgery. Although, being on this site and reading...

Hi Sandejosgirl, First of all, thanks for your response to my post! I appreciate your insight, since it sounds like you've been going through a similar experience. Thanks, too, for explaining the Crohn's diagnosis. I used to stay up on the research when I was newer to the disease, but now that I'm coasting by I haven't been as vigilant. This knowledge...

Thank you for your response! I have Crohn's disease, so I cannot eat vegetables, fruits, nuts (or dairy). In fact, most everything I CAN eat has gluten... so I'm a little nervous now! But I will go get the test next week. I don't have any reason to believe that I have it, but if my son does, I will give up gluten to continue nursing him. Thanks again!

Thank you for your response. I understand your concern, but I want to clarify a few things so you don't think I'm an awful mother. Of course I am going to do what is best for myself and my son. I have dealt with the dangers of a digestive disease, including a very restricted diet, many different medications, hospitalizations and surgeries, for 15 years. ...

Hi Everyone, I'm a new member and have spent some time today searching this site. I don't think my son has Celiac Disease because he doesn't have all of the symptoms I'm finding here, but since many of you have probably been through the testing phase I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out! Here's my story in a nutshell... My son is 6 months...

Hello. I'm so sorry to hear about all that you're going through! I joined this site just so I could reply to you. I have Crohn's disease, and was diagnosed when I was 22 (although had symptoms for many years before). It hasn't been easy, but it's definitely manageable. I live a fairly normal life, and it doesn't stop me from doing anything I want to do. I...
