Reply to "9 yr old son, what can he eat?"

Hi there,

I am so sorry to hear about your son. I know as someone who battled this in my late twenties, that it just isn't fair that your son has to do this at 9.

I have had a problemsome pouch. There have been some times that I was going that often, not eating and exhausted. Your son is probably dehydrated from the constant trips to the bathroom. It may be time to take him back to the hospital. Everytime I felt got that bad and I saw my GI or surgeon, they yelled at me for not going in sooner. Your son may have pouchitis and a course of IV antibiotics may greatly help. He probably needs fluids as well.

I am just thinking of the fastest way to get him onto the road to recovery. In the hospital they could do all the things at once. You both sound beyond the point of miserable and I think you really should consider a trip to the ER.

I wish you and your brave boy lots of health and peace.
