My 14 year old daughter has it too and sometimes feels like she's the only kid to have this.
(My sister has it too).

I do and I am 17. If your daughter really feels that way, maybe she should go to http://www.ucandcrohns.org/#active it's a great site for kids with UC and Crohn's and has tips and a message board with kid just like her.

My best friend in college had it too. He was hospitalized many times, and eventually had a section of intestine removed. It's not common, but not all that rare either.

My son was diagnosed a couple of years ago. He is doing well with it, as long as he remembers to take his medicine. I feel for your family. Hope they all stay happy and healthy.

my mom has it. she's had it since she was in her twenties. i don't know how much that's going to help your 14 year old though.
