[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 509385, member: 1514"] I think I freaked out thinking more of celiac than Chron's when I first head about it and that would have made more of a difference for most of his life. Looking back now in hindsight, I think he probably started this in his late teens to early 20's when he started dropping weight like nobodies business. That is when he started to become almost gaunt looking and his cheeks started looking sunken in, his ribs stick out and his lower back is so bad that he walks with a complete limp. From what I have read, the lower back can be involved along with ankelyzing spondylosis. I just figured all that was due to his surgery and his scoliosis. I am now doing my best to just start with his family doctor who used to be my family doctor. In fact he is still in the same practice as the one I go to now, I just go to a different satellite office. They will be able to order his records and then send him to our local specialists here in town fast. I do realize I couldnt have stopped his behavior problems as he got older. My reaction at first was the reaction of if more if he this all his life, and when I thought it was the celiac, if he was treated for that instead of just being thrown on psychiatric drugs from such an early age and treated simply as though he was a behavior problem and sent to all those placements that taught him just more and more bad behaviors, would he have been that much worse as an adult. Almost as if he was a diabetic and treated as a bad child instead of a diabetic and not given insulin instead. What would that outcome have been for a person. [/QUOTE]
