Being diagnosed with IBD is challenging for anyone – but having a young child diagnosed is distressing and daunting for the whole family. There are usually hundreds of questions:
- Why did my child get this?
- Is it something we did (or didn’t) do?
- How is IBD treated?
- What are our options?
- Will she have a normal life?
- What does the future hold for him?
- Will my other children also get this disease?
- What is IBD anyway?
You and your family are not alone
