When a child has inflammatory bowel disease, the family has many concerns: Why is my child sick? What can we do to help him get better? What does the future hold for her? In this book, an expert team of pediatric gastroenterologists explains the symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments associated with Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, and indeterminate colitis to help parents and children cope with the challenges of IBD.

The authors empathy and experience are evident throughout as they answer such questions as:

What are inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn disease, and ulcerative colitis? Is there a cure for IBD? How is IBD going to affect my childs daily life? Will my childs diet change? Can my child still play sports? Will my child need surgery? What are the side effects of commonly prescribed medications?

The book also provides parents with practical advice on how to tell their children about their IBD and discusses the challenges children may face at school and in their social lives, especially as they grow older. Additional information on IBD medications, complementary treatments, and further reading round out this comprehensive and reliable resource.

Notes to the Reader:This book is meant to be an educational resource for parents of children and adolescents who have been diagnosed with Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis. It contains material that can help make sense of the bewildering amount of information that can overwhelm families when a child is diagnosed with one of these forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The materials contained in this book are for general education. The book should help parents understand what is happening, or might happen, to their specific children who have been diagnosed with a chronic intestinal condition. The book is not intended as a substitute for ongoing consultation with a health care provider, and your childs treatment should not be based solely on what is written here. Your childs treatment must be developed in a dialogue between you and your childs physician. Our book is written to help you with that dialogue.

No statements within the text should be considered recommendations concerning specific tests or treatments for an individual patient. The information provided should serve as the basis for a discussion between the family and health care provider and not as medical advice for any particular situation. The members of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) stand ready to provide expert care for any child with IBD. To obtain a list of qualified physicians in your area, log on to the NASPGHAN Web site, www.naspghan.org.

Drug dosage: The author and publisher have made reasonable efforts to determine that the selection and dosage of drugs discussed in this text conform to the practices of the general medical community. The medications described do not necessarily have specific approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the diseases and dosages for which they are recommended. In view of ongoing research, changes in governmental regulations, and the constant flow of information relating to drug therapy and drug reactions, the reader is urged to check the package insert of each drug for any change in indications and dosage and for warnings and precautions. This is particularly important when the recommended agent is a new or infrequently used drug.
