Well, without steroids we did notice natural healing, but the next month we again saw runny stools and blood evident... There isn't a lot of blood, so we and the doctor have been waiting to see what happens. Isaac's health otherwise is great.
At our doctor's appointment yesterday we scheduled another colonoscopy and talked about where this is going. Our doctor is interested in Remicade or Humira and wants us to think about that. They also want to double check on the diseased parts to re-rule out Crohn's (in thinking ahead about a colectomy).
My gut reaction is to hold off on everything so as to not accelerate towards surgery. It seems like Isaac is thriving well in spite of the gut condition, and more time allows us to check allergies and other food reactions and maybe get a better grasp of the situation and be able to handle it without the exotic medications or removing bowels. Also, it allows time for more treatments to develop.
