Well, I have an update on my daughter....Christmas eve day she had 8 episodes of bloody mucousy diarhea and severe stomach cramping. It came and went all day. I felt so bad for her, but selfishly did not want to take her to the ER and ruin her christmas. I fed her a very bland diet and rested her bowels. Christmas day she still had some pain on and off and more stools than usual. Thursday she had an upper GI with small bowel follow through. It was abnormal and showed thickened folds in the duodenum and inflammation in the terminal ileum. There results are consistent with her clinical picture and biopsy results of chrohns. To throw a loop in things...her ANSCA and ASCA crohns antibody testing from California came back positive but looked like more of an ulcerative colitis pattern. The Dr. has put her on Asulfidine 3 times daily and metronidazole. I have another appt in 2 weeks for blood tests and a full blown sit down talk with the GI specialist.
Does anyone have any suggestions on dietary restrictions? The main things I should avoid for now? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
