has had problems for three yrs. doctors don’t know exactly what’s wrong. has had many tests done. his uncle has crohn’s and started the same symptoms at about the same time in his life and the doctors did him the same way for years. I don’t think my friend’s body has been able to absorb nutrients, b/c his body didn’t keep the food long enough. when this first started he lost 40 lbs. within 2 months. he has since had times where he has had small patches of hair loss that grows back. he has felt better and the intestinal symptoms have decreased (which happened to his uncle as well). ever since he has been feeling better, his leg muscles ache terribly. he compares it to growing pains. could this be his body trying to restore what it had been losing all this time?
