Reply to "Here We Go... Again"

Thanks for the thoughts and advice. Still waiting for the path results. But proctofoam is probably the better option than suppositories. I am interested to see what they say. I do know they do things differently with kids than adults from going through this with my first kid. Things that surprised us like:

  • They will only re-scope them if it is absolutely necessary. They generally don't like to re-scope kids. Adult docs - seems like they have no hesitation
  • Our docs will start with low-dose prednisone and up the dose if needed. With kids they start at a really high dose and wean them off. The thinking is to knock out flares quickly and get them off steroids sooner than later

So it will be interesting to see if there is some thought that is different in terms of treating mild UC than what we would think as adults
