I need a Referral to a Pediatric Gastroenterologist or Surgeon as a relative of mine has a 12 year old son in the 6th grade who has been struggling with increasingly severe Ulcerative Colitis for a few years. Last year it was only “left-sided colitis” (according to his Mom) and now it has attacked his entire intestinal track. They have taken him to a “top” GI doc where they live and the most recent medical maneuver was putting him on the Biologic drug “Humira” - but that has not worked. In fact, he may be getting worse. So, they are at a crossroads as something must be done to help their son who spends most of his time in the bathroom screaming in pain and passing blood.
If you know of someone who can help – especially if they practice at a major facility like The Cleveland Clinic – I would GREATLY APPRECIATE if you would contact me with the information.
Thank you.
