Diane & Pearl:

  that is the time you hope to know a super pediatric gastroenteroligist and
be working with a strong mom...

   I agree with you that you need about 4 weeks for clearing and
healing...can take a long time... more testing (imo) is not always
warented... questions i recommend mothers ask are: what will we learn? what
will we do with this information?

  there are a nnumber of inocuous things that can cause bloody stools,
including cilia iirritation that may or may not be visible when scoping. (
for which they will only take a wait see attidude any way so why scope? )
