I don't know if this will help but blood in stools is normal for

digestive issues like Crohns. It indicates a flare and anemia, and in our

case went away, first with prednisone, this time the diet. What is you

son on SCD for, and has he had any scoping or blood or stool work to

determine if there is an actual digestive issue? Take care, Fay

I hope you can find healing like we are finding.

I should make it clear that we are newbies to this. Some might

suggest we did too much protein. That our own allowance of illegals

might have been the main reason she couldn't tolerate some of the

easy to digest glucose items early. She could always tolerate ripe

bananas which I forgot to add.

This is just our experience. I am so glad for all those who have

been helpful on this board. A special Thanks to Sheila for all her

wisdom and careing to do what she does and who has answered many of

my questions.
