Hi, I'm Eric. I have had Crohn's Disease for almost four years now and I'm thirteen years old. My symptoms seem to be under control, but I'm not growing. My GI doctor has said everything has gained except my height which is 4' 6 1/2". My weight is 76 lbs and I've been told my inflammatory
markers arre around 22. I am on lialda 3.6 mg daily, and close to half way through waning off prednisone I was taking to see if that would help me grow, which it did not. My GI doctor has also told me that I should see an Endocrinoligist, to see if i dont' have enough of a hormone to grow, and my mom is in the process of getting an appointment for that. If anyone has any insight on this I would be very grateful.
