Mold and mis diagnosis


Tue, April 30, 2019 3:07 PM

Son with no family history anywhere had loose stools and weight loss.  Started a little last spring gone during summer came back hard in fall.  Diagnosed with first UC then severe crohns.  30 days after being on meds took him entirely off everything.  Everything came back energy weight sleep.  Went to nutritionist who did tests he showed some mold and lyme.  His high school is having to close rooms due to mold and we are leaning that his may not be either UC or Crohns and related to  mold which can cause GI disorders.  He was in our near class rooms with issues in fall not any more.  Anyone had this mis diagnosis before.
