Flaring up!

Well Autumn is definitely here - its not the weather telling me that, its my 4 year olds gut. Poor little man. I think he's starting to flare and I'm gutted as he starts school next week.

Over this week he's been getting more tummy aches, leg pain at night and is off his food (not that he likes food much anyway!). Its always a bad sign when he refuses sweets!  He is also in pain when he goes to the toilet.  I'm guessing all of this means he's flaring as this is how he started last Autumn and he then had problems on and off until late March.

I really hoped he'd be okay for the first half term of school as I want him to settle in whilst he's pain-free. I'm worried being in pain will affect how he settles and stop him liking school. I already have one who struggles with school, I really dont want 2 little ones crying not to go to school.

Still, I must be optimistic and hope that the flare is a short one and maybe he'll be okay next week.

Has anyone else noticed their childs gut problems get worse from Autumn onwards too? Although, I have to say i think usually we experience this around October so its a bit earlier this year. Change in weather? 

We aren't at GOSH again till last week of October so will have to see how we go. St Thomas's wondered if he needs to go back on Azithromycin prophylactically - so i guess i may have to call GOSH before October to find out if he needs it. 

Hope everyone else's little ones are ok and not flaring too much.
