Hello. My little boy has BA, so not the same disease as you, but he has PH and varices. He seems to be doing ok but I often wonder if it might hurt him (he often says he has tummy ache but it doesn't get in the way of being a lively 4 year old!) Have you had bands? I know that's sore for a couple of days after. He has his 4th endoscopy next week at King's so we're prepared for more bands. Thanks for sharing!

Hi there I'd really like to get in touch with you about growing up with portal hypertension and varices. My three year old does not have a portal vein plus lots more besides, with lots of consequences. He has had three bleeds and have lost count how many bandings. Maybe I could direct message you on here or ask CLDF for your email..? Eleanor, Mum to Evan, South London x
