Just so you know, I''m trying to convince him to go get a second opinion right now, but we''ll see...
He''s been having some odd health problems lately:
1) lots of random and slow-to-stop nosebleeds. I bought some vitamins with iron and vitK and got him some saline spray in case it was his AC-ed work environment. He''s worked in AC before though and this has NEVER happened. It''s happening almost every day now.
2) He normally has chronic stomach toruble. His sister has one of the worst cases of Chron''s disease in the USA, and the risk of him getting it is 10X higher bc of her case. But he went to see a specialist and they could find no evidence of a problem from a barium CAT scan... But his symptoms match almost exactly what is listed on the ccfa (chron''s) website. It''s gotten worse lately to where he has severe and unpredictable pain after eating (its usually 10-20 mins after). It doesn''t realte to what he eats, except for moderately severe lactose intolerance--but even that doesnt behave like typical lactose intolerance.
I am thinking these two may be linked bc I read that Chron''s can interfere with vitamin absorbtion....
Does anyone here have IBD or Chron''s? Suggestions on a good specialist in the Boston area?
