I was where you are just a few months ago with my 15 year old son so can relate to how you must be feeling.  Seeing those pictures from the colonoscopy...yikes.  Confused, sad, a whole new world now with Dr appointments and meds.  It’s a lot of research too.  I don’t have much advice since I’m new to this as well, but hope you know you’re not alone and it might take some time to find the right medications, but I’m hopeful it will happen soon for both our kids!!
