My girl has had D for a week and today I found fresh blood and lots of mucus in her diaper.

I know its most likely from the d and that her bum is just irritaded but how do you not freak out when you the parent has CD!!!!

Are kids getting CD this young?

She has no fever and I am taking in a stool sample tomorrow. Her twin sister also had some d so hopefully just a stomach bug, but she recovered faster. But boy does this crush my heart.

I'd freak out, too! I'm so sorry. :( Hopefully it's just a stomach bug. It's rare for kids that young to be diagnosed with CD, but I know that it can happen. But again, pretty rare. Keep us posted!

Poor little thing! Hope it turns out to be a stomach bug.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and sending positive thoughts your way. Hopefully your babies just had something irritate their digestive tract and it is absolutely nothing serious. It must be really hard to not be very fearful right now, but please when you feel afraid, remember that this is not likely to be crohns, and much more likely to just be a stomach bug, which will soon pass.

Hugs. Hope they both get back to normal very soon.

We took her to the hospital and her crp was normal and everything else looked good they suspected that she had a virus.

Great news! At least it's not Crohn's. Hope she is fine now :)

So glad for you! Big relief!

ANd yes they are getting it at that age, every time we went for the infusions with Remicade I swear the kids are getting younger & younger. Last time I saw a 2 year old. THAT was tough.

Oh good!!!!! Hope it's cleared up!

SupportiveMom - oh sad, I'd probably cry!
