Re: Loose BM's

Randy...

Well...my son has a bowel disease, and had to have a portion of his large

intestine removed, which causes him to have loose BM's.

The fact that this started abruptly for Caleb, have you asked his

pediatrician about it? I'd probably be foolish to speculate, so I won't do

that... I

just wanted to respond and see how he's doing, and ask if you had a chance to

talk to his dr. yet... Keep us posted!!

Kids with DS have a high incidence of Celiac Disease. When our first

daughter was diagnosed, we had already been told it was not likely and silly to

test

her. By the time she was diagnosed, she was literally on her death bed and

spent two weeks in the ICU. We have since had all of our DS kids tested and

two of the four have diagnosed positive and one of the others shows the

antibodies.
