GI FOLLOW UP

I love this GI Dr. he called me tonight to confirm and follow up with us from our appointment.

Madison is not allergic to wheat or gluten according to these tests, which he said because she's so young and small they could be a false negative. he has seen this allergy side effects show up as obesity and under weight as well as mal absorption problems. the idea is that they are going to send us to a dietican and track her calories vitamins and go from there. if she's getting enough calories there's something wrong if not we need to change her diet.

You say the words Vegetarian and immediately people flag you as unhealthy and or stupid. it's frustrating when her blood work had no reference to any low levels of protein the thing that was a concern was calcium not protein or iron. Her iron was low at one point but I blame that on the hospital. the food there had NO nutritional value plus if you don't eat for two weeks things will be slightly off.

Thing that bothers me is whether or not she eats an abundance of calories may be a factor in her weight but that still does not explain the holes in her heart or the fact that it's surrounded by fluid.
