[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 305536, member: 3444"] Absolutely Patricia! While it may not be a technical flare (what I think of as the sed rate going up and other lab markers coming out), it could be an IBS-type thing, which is not uncommon with these kids, and is certainly linked to stress. At least that's been our experience with difficult child 1. He ended up on Elavil for the latter half of 7th grade and all of 8th (more as a precaution) because he was having cramping and diarrhea on and off. This year it's the opposite problem with constipation. The Elavil did help settle things down for him. It was a low dose, just 10mg. Enough to make a difference, but not so much that it was an issue if he wanted to stop. [/QUOTE]
