Brother-in-law has had severe abdominal pain for 2 years and inhibits ability to eat anything but Ensure, beef broth, and occassional applesauce. Colostomy done almost 1 year ago helped for a few months. He began to eat a little more and start gaining weight back. He is 50 years old and was healthy prior to this. Now, he is completely disabled, is again back being able to only eat Ensure and beef broth. He is down to about 100 lbs and is so weak he can barely speak. No physician yet has had any hope or answers for him.



There has to be something out there. I am hopeful his healthcare providers are not chalking it up to "adult failure to thrive" and allow him to slowly die in constant pain and suffering. Thank you.
