[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 461726, member: 77"] Just to give your sister an encouraging story about Crohns, here's my sister's story: She has Crohns. In her early twenties she had very very major surgery that saved her life. After her third child was born she once again had to have major surgery. Since then she took some sort of preventive medication for about 10 years, and today she is more or less cured. I know it sounds incredible. She has to be careful not to eat certain foods such as nuts, coconut, corn etc., and also she steers clear of milk products. She was warned that another surgery would mean a colostomy, which really scared her, because the two surgeries removed parts of her intestines. But she is living a completely normal and very very active life, and she is going to be 69 years old next month. So I should imagine that the prognosis for him is good, especially since my sister's difficult times were 30 and 40 years ago, and medicine has progressed so much since then. My sister is a walking advertisement for the wonders of modern medicine, and I hope the same will go for your sister's son. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
