Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I'm reading this and thinking about 3 episodes with . Not diarrhea but, a low left groin pain after a BM. One time he yelled for me in such pain from the bathroom he couldn't even get him pants up. He was very pale in a cold sweat he had to lay down on his stomach for about 10 min. before the pain went away. He has had 2 more incidents but not that bad of pain. This is only when he has been sick. The Dr. thought he was constipated? I really haven't given this another thought. I'm feeling the need to see a pediatric ID at Children's hosp. here is Seattle and get the genetic swab test on . Since I sometimes question his . We have seen an ID but he isn't a pediatric. With reading about other kids labs, hasn't ever had an elevated sed rate. This has been checked in the past with onset of his fever, during and after???? He is just getting over a classic episode? Talk to you all later. Gretchen 13, --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Messenger’s low PC-to-Phone call rates.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 No blood that I was aware of..and no watery stools just the opposite in fact. She was backed up..GI said she had an anal fissure so we will be continuing the miralax for who knows how long. The blister slash ulcers are located in her transverse and her descending colon. She has had chronic tummy pain since May. I first assumed it was her bladder acting up but then all they could find was blood in her urine...one ultra sound and an MRI later still no reason pinpointed why tummy pain oh and the nite tine illness.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Maggie also had a GI workup last November. She did not have ulcers, but did have polyps, scattered eosinophils, lymphoid hyperplasia. She has episodes of excruciating stomach aches that she described as being stabbed in the belly button by a knife. They also found that her folate levels were extremely elevated. What it all boiled down to was an evaluation that she had bacterial overgrowth in her gut.....that they attributed to her immune issues. My understanding is that 70 percent of your immune regulation is based in the gut. So it makes sense. It is also my understanding that ulcers are now considered a bacterial issue. One big question we had coming out of the full GI workup realizing we did not know if there was a problem in her small bowel....where her pain seemed to be localized. Thankfully, she has been doing pretty well the past few months with very few tummy aches. It has definately gotten better as she has gotten older, but we also see her resolve tummy problems for months after a course of antobiotics for a respiratory infection. They did want to put her on prophylactic flagyl....but she was already on prophylactic azithromyocin. Not sure if that helps at all. Just throwing out ideas. Terri > > We have had a very busy summer for Allie..not in a good way. We finally got her kidney infections under control...then repeat strep and the chicken pox. But one of her ongoing sypmtoms has been tummy pain and night time vomiting. We had to wait to get into the peds gi and they performed an upper and lower scope on monday and took biopsies. My question is the dr found ulcers in her large bowel...anybody had any history with this? They said theu wanted to get all biopsies back then we will discuss what he ffound. I am a nervous wreck at this point and we had a horrible infusion yesterday b/c of a mixup with tubing! Thank you for any info anybody has. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
