    IBS Feedback: I know of a 4 year old with U/C that goes to the same doctor that treats me. It is a desease that has had a lot of research done on it but has few asnswers. A few things that I found out was: it is found in a lot of people that move from an agrarian to urban settings and is also believed to be stress related.( I don’t know what kind of stress a 4 year old could have.) You may want to talk to your doctor about an asacol treatment and if it is appropriate

    I do not know the answer but I am young I am 11 years old and I have IBS or U.C. This started when I was five. It wasn’t bad in kindrgarden of first grade but in second grade it was terrible. i missed so much school I was almost held back! I had to do so many testes it was i was so tired when we figured out. I did so many tests i did uren tests, blood tests, and a oltrasound.And I also didn’t want to eat because i felt like i was going to throw up. so my advise would be only make him eat food that is confortable on his stomach, get some tests, and make him try to poop one or two times a day.
