Figured I'd post it over here.My Dad has crohn's and there is a possibility my son does. He has been having some digestion issues and the symptoms sound like crohn's. He doesn't want to go to the doctor to get it checked out because they would have to do blood work and he HATES needles.

My Dad got pretty messed up a few years ago with a flair up. He had several feet of his small intestine removed. It's a shitty disease.
I'd push him to go get checked, one or two needles is nothing until you are laying in a hospital bed and the fat nurse is ramming an IV into your hand constantly because she just can't seem to find the vein.
Jim's dad has Chron's & Jim has ulcerative colitis. The disease is easier to manage when you control it with diet & in some cases some pills.
