Dear Amy, I just read your board, and I'm going to try to help you. Questions you should ask, what to do when the flares are bad. Things not to do, is important. Also, things to avoid...such as tomatoes. I was told because of the acid in them. As for children, sometimes it won't show until it becomes active. If I can be of more help. Please email me. I am 35 years old and I have had this for 7 years, at least since I've been diag. Good luck! Sincerely: Mjo
