My daughter who is now 7 years old has had rapid diahoria since 11 weeks old has been under several hospitals and a miss diagnosis with coeliac disease which she was fitted with a nvg tube. My daughter is now under a well know hospital who diagnosed her with chrones/colitus disease,but have now been informed that they are unsure whether it is this or not and are suggesting it is now autoimmune process. This i am finding very hard to find any information about and am going out of my mind as i just want a diagnosis for my child.
If anyone can help has any advice am pleased to take it also she is on treatment known as mercaptopurine which i do not understand if i am now being told they do not think it is chrones (very confusing i know)

Oh dear, crohns in a baby is outch.

Please, google pecanbread and read your way through the outlines of the special carbohydrate diet.
It was developed to help a child with crohns, it is easy and gentle on the gut, it changes the probiotic flora, reduces inflammation and nourishes the child on the long run. It also helps children and grown ups with autism, IBS, celiac, CFS and other problems.

Good luck!

The first link talks about some causes of chronic diarrhea (long-lasting) in children, so could be something on that webpage will strike a cord with you.  The second link is one of many with information about the drug they're using.  Now, as relates to that drug, one of the causes of chronic diarrhea in kids is a weak immune system.  So, I hope these links will help you a little.
