he just didn't want to go.He is very bright and was tainkg 10 GCSE's. He tried very hard when he felt well enough to attend and exceeded expectations. The school was willing to supply home tutoring but only if his consultant gave the t opinion that that is what was required.Despite begging and pleading and stating the fact that the unknown condition was ruining his life, I was completely ignored and told he had to go to school pooing himself and that it was in his head because he was nervous and stressed. Unbelievable dont you think? No, this is how we were treated.He had to leave school early without tainkg any exams because he had missed so many lessons and found out he had been dropped from his Science GCSE while in the middle of revising for it at home. He cried!!He started college when the symptoms seemed to subside after being prescribed medication for bile-salt malabsorption only to find that after doing all his course-work the pooing came back and then they did a test and discovered he did not have what he was being treated for.He had to leave college in February without tainkg one exam. He was to gotoday but as usual, he is pooing for England. He hates me talking about it to people and I worry for his future and so I babble, terrified of what the hell will become of him and will he ever be able to live a normal life i.e. Go out for the evening.He hasn't been out since February and then he only went occasionally. He never talks about the future and he doesn't seem to care anymore. He doesn't drink. smoke or indulge in substance abuse.He is 17 and lonely. He thinks it is his diet and I've just read your comments and I'm going to print them off and show him. I've actually laughed. He is so fed up perhaps he might snicker a little. Thank you so much for your humour. A lot of what you say he will be able to relate to with regard to other people's attitudes.Unfortunately I have been guilty of the Oh for God's sake just try and get on with it syndrome when at the end of my tether and gnashing my brain thinking of the 10 GCSE's he could have taken if the bloody consultant had taken him seriously and he wouldn't have felt invisible and as though he was a kid who just didn't want to bother.Many thanks, Jan.
