My sister had Chrons - or Chrons like symptoms for most of her life starting around the age of 19. Now it seems Matt either has that or an eating disorder. I remember my sister's diet, and it was SO regimented. She basically had to whittle her diet to an AS diet, with no gluten, dairy, etc.. etc. Still she had flare ups where she had to be in the hospital or go to the emergency clinic to get an IV for fluids. God I can only pray this is not the same for Matt - because I don't think I can take one more thing with him. (UGH)
Anyway - if any of you have experience I would love to hear what worked. Matt does not seem to have diarrhea (that he has mentioned), just a lack of appetite, and feeling sick from eating most foods, terrible night sweats, and he lost 40 lbs in the last 4 months. Only bland foods don't make him sick. Due to his anxiety about doctors we are troubleshooting one thing at a time. He had blood work taken for thyroid problems first. In the meantime if any of you have helpful info it would be much appreciated.
