I think DH may have it. He's 34. He's had blood in his stools for a few months. He's also had dreadful mouth ulcers and small lesions on his hands. And has complained of feeling nauseous in the evenings sometimes.
He's waiting for a colonoscopy following a preliminary investigation that didn't find piles (as we'd hoped) but saw a bit of redness further in.
DH's mum as Celiac Disease. I don't know if that's relevant.
I'm frightened. I'm disabled and we have a small child. I rely on DH a great deal. I hope the stress of that hasn't brought this on in any way.
If he has it, is he going to be ill a great deal? Will it impact his life a lot? Is it possible that he will die? Will he be in pain? Is he likely to be able to work? Does it get worse?
