[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cab you go step by step. Does he have a doctor at all who can order tests. To decide if you need to explore Crohns or Colitis one of the tests just involves pooping into a "hat" and then you collect a sample. That's easy enough. Have you asked how his poop is? Any blood? Any diarrhea or constipation? The bloodwork is the perfect start as well. I think for kids there is a numbing agent they can use on the arm. If they have that, would that help him just go and give his blood already? I would focus on step by step....blood and poop would be a great step in the right direction! Also, will he share his weight? How far below normal BMI is he? Is he tired?[/quote] He does not have a doctor. Has not had a wellness check as long as I’ve know him (20+ years). [/quote] Ok first step get him on a scale. I assume you know his height. Look up how far below normal BMI is.[/quote]
