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.

solid poop again!

Okay, at last, today, there was much to do around the toilet bowl as Isaac squeezed out a healthy 3,4 stool. It follows a 3,6 stool yesterday, which suggests that we're on the up and up at last.

Today was also a doctor appointment, with the doctor down the street from the usual guy. I took the luxury of attending this appointment, and have decided to also meet every other appointment or so with our regular doc, in the aim of developing a better relationship. The second doctor gave a pretty good affirmation of the stance of the first doctor, and we talked and talked about this and that. We found out we can get a prescription for probiotics, so we're pleased about that as it will help with the bills.

Well, we were so pleased with a better stool today (after the doctor appointment) that it pretty much has overshadowed our dismay. We also don't know if it is finally the steroids, or if it was the fish oil we started giving the other day, and also we have a small list of other things we could put it down to. Meanwhile, no more honey oaties, as we mentioned before.
