Ulcerative colitis is confined to just the large intestine and is continous in inflammtion from the rectum till the end of the inflammation.
Crohns is patchy inflammation anywhere from the mouth to the anus
So in my kids case some inflammation in the stomach duodendum terminal ileum caecum sigmoid colon and rectum but healthy patches found in between.
Little kids under 5 crowd tend to present with severe pancoliitis which sometimes changes to crohns as they get older (10-16 range )
Google very early onset crohns and you should get papers on the under 5 presentation
Also Che k out parents research section
