I am beside myself and confused. my son had a bloody mucus stool 2 weeks ago. got him into his doctor the same day. 2 weeks later he has been recovering well, no further bloody stools and intermittent mucus. Today I get a phone call telling me he for sure has either crohns or ulcerative colitis because those numbers are absurdly high and he needs to be seen immediately. he has an appointment in a week. Can anyone relate to this? I am so scared.

Should probably say right off the bat we took my baby to urgent care and made an appointment with his pcp but it’s two weeks out I’m and in the meantime I’m descending into an obsessive mess. I’m wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience and if so how did it resolve?

My son has had small amounts of both strawberry and dairy before and tolerated them both fine. A week ago I gave him Gerbers very berry pouch which contains yogurt and strawberries. he ate roughly half of the pouch. An hour later, while playing on the carpet with his sister and Dad, his eyelids became red and puffy. Eventually they developed a wheal and flare and he developed a runny nose. We gave Benadryl and flew to the ER. But he remained playful and happy with no escalation of symptoms. We sat in the parking lot for a few hours and went home. the next morning I took him to urgent care. They said the reaction was mild and weren’t very concerned, just said to give Zyrtec if it happens again. I will not be giving him anymore of either until after we see his pcp, although they echoed the urgent care when I called. My question is, have any of you seen a dairy allergy come on an hour later with only localized swelling and runny nose as the symptoms
