My husband was diagnosed with crohns 15 years ago.
We have a 6 year old daughter that is healthy, but has been diagnosed with delayed growth as has dropped from the 40th percentile in height from birth to age 4. Since turning 4 each year has dropped considerably and now at 6 is not on the chart at all. My husband is 6'1" and I am 5'6". We are average height. This prompted the doc to order some growth hormone testing. Which was in normal range.
So.... We were referred to peds gi doc that ordered a colonoscopy/endoscopy to rule out crohns since daddy has it. After procedure doc said her colon gi tract was as beautiful as her face. ((Relief))
Three days later doc called with abnormal biopsies showing gastritis. He prescribed Prilosec for 30 days. We didn't want to medicate her with out any symptoms. Now we are 60 days post procedure and she's been complaining of tummy aches. Have call into doc regarding tummy aches.
Wondering... Could the gastritis be an early sign/symptom of Crohns??
Thanks!
