Hi everyone, looking for any advice or reassurance really,
Im a single mum to a 5 year old girl who is generally happy and healthy. Over the past 2 years her stool has been soft on and off and frankly quite weird looking, floating pieces etc.
Fast forward to start of December she had approximately 5 days waking up early with pain needing a poo, some of those days she went twice or 3 times and then was fine for the test of the day
On day 5 i brought her to doctor, was not worried at all, just thought maybe a weird tummy bug..since then her fecal calprotectin has come back at 900, repeat in 2 weeks and blood tests. No blood or any other symptoms. Bacterial infection has veen ruled out . Stools went back to normal 2 days after doctors but have started to get mushy again this week, but with no pain and just once a day.
I am so so worried, i have myself tied in knots panicking and living in a constant state of anxiety over this.
Guess im looking to hear other people's experiences with kids that have ibd, what the symptoms were, would the symptoms just come and go?
