So DS 16 has had periods of runny or normal poos, when they are also frequent and have blood. Hell go 3 weeks with nothing the occasional 'bad episode' and then have 4/5 days on toilet with bad runs. iyswim. We went to GP when he was 15 they referred him to paediatric gastroentology. They did blood tests (normal) and requested a fecal calprotein test(?) with view of colonoscopy if symptoms hadn't settled or anything came up. Due to circumstances beyond our control he didnt go to follow up appointment. We went to a completely unrelated apootment a month ago it was brought up and DS said he still was having problems. So they want to carry on investigating. Hes been referred to adult as now 16 (not an adult in my opinion) They want to do all the tests see how they come back there testing for Chrons/ colitus (in the family aswel) same as befor if the symptoms still there theyll do colonoscopy. But the thing is me and DS really dont thinks its IBD neither do doctors they just want to check. DS really dosent want a colonoscopy now an adult he wont be kncoked out. Im just asking cause im sressed, DS not copying, im not copying. it just never ends!

@beggingbehind

Hello.

I did a search and your thread came up.

I know this is an old thread but wondered if there was any update as I'm going through similar with my 17 year old daughter.

Thank you xx
