School plan?


Wed, August 17, 2016 6:08 PM

My 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's in March.  Since it was the end of the school year I didn't feel the need to set up any sort of plan with school.  As of now she is responding well to the meds and doing good but I want to be prepared in case.  She is going to be in 4th grade and I am struggling with whether I need to put a plan in writing or just talk to her teacher.  I have seen some example plans online but they seem a little in depth for her age.  Does anyone have any insight?

Stop giving your daughter any white bread with yeast or donuts or cookies ir muffins. Yeast is the #1 cause of your daughters problem. So many mothers are afraid to send their kids to school because the kid has diahrrea problems and has accidents at school and is a total embarrassing situation. Diahrrea comes from yeast and is cause of chrons. If you do this your daughter will get well. You don't know how dangerous yeast is. Read my posts. I feel sorry for the people who are stuck and don't know what to do. I know because I went through the whole chrons cycle and came out of it on my own drinking lots of milk and vitamins and protein. Yeast is an ugly infection. It is poison and infection. It robs you of your life and eats at your intestines and organs and causes diahrrea sickness diseases. Yeast is an ugly fungus in your stomach. Leave a loaf of yeast bread on the counter for a couple of weeks. You'll see fungus and mold and green spots and blue and yellow and red. That's yeast and you're putting it in your body. Eventually it will make you very sick. The authority on this is god who said "DO NOT EAT LEAVENED BREAD" now your daughter knows why.

I am so sorry to hear this. My 9 year old daughter was recently diagnosed as well. We are still trying to find the right meds for her. Very difficult to deal with and missing school is becoming a problem. Good luck!

This is most helpful!  I was totally unaware of this.

From experience, I would suggest having a plan in place. Talking with the teachers is great but without the plan in place there is no accountability, which could cause problems should an issue with your child&#39;s health arise. Also, the faculty probably has great intentions, but if an emergency came up, it would be much easier for them to have things in writing so they&#39;ll know exactly what to do.<br />

The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) recommends that all students with IBD have a 504 plan in place at the beginning of the school year, EVEN if they are feeling well.   Your child can be symptom free (in remission) at the beginning of the school year, but may experience active symptoms (flare up) later in the school year.   Just because you have a plan in place, does not mean you must use all of the accommodations.
