In 2010 we got a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis for our son Isaac who was then 27 months old. For a year and a half we had been concerned about his persistent soft stools. Now that we're going down the road of living with IBD in our house, we want to be able to share our story, connect with similar families or individuals, and increase our awareness of the experience of others.

Some of our related interests are diet, kids and families with IBD, and discussing and sharing experiences.

Roadtrips & Snack Plans

First, the poop scoop:

Isaac's stool has continued to be pass inspection since our last post. These are not ideal stools, but no blood, and we're continuing to be hopeful that we are on the cusp of a good remission. Yesterday he had some snacks with soy, and we didn't have any problems last night. He even passed a #6 stool this morning that didn't seem problematic, so that seemed good.

Also, we have ventured on a roadtrip and a weekend "away", and we are pleased to report that it was a success. We have a new procedure on the books. And I don't mean medical procedure, good heavens, but rather, a

Procedure for Social Snacking


When a group of ten kiddos get Easter cupcakes, for example, and you don't know if the ingredients pass stringent criteria, and your little boy is part of that group, it is really difficult to say, "No, you can't have one," unless you have a plan. And so now our plan is going to include some sort of snack bag which we'll have with us at all time so that we can make a suitable substitute snack that Isaac will enjoy will everybody else is enjoying an Easter cupcake.
