Went to the GI today to talk. He thinks that Tanner probably will not make it in the study. He says that the stomach pain and distention could be from constipation (which is a real problem for Tanner). He decided we should tackle that problem and if the constipation goes away but he still has tummy pain we know it is an EE issue.
When I brought up the question of what to do about the high EOS count he informed me the only way to find the offending food is to go formula only for 3 months. This is so not what I wanted to hear. “It is only 3 months” is the answer I got when I said I cant see how we can do that. I have seen other families do it and I know it is done and it is for the best but it is going to be so hard!
We are going to take the next 2 weeks and see how he does on Mirilax for the constipation before we try to go formula only. Maybe by then we will know if he made it into the study and we can keep food but it is not looking so good.
Please keep us in your prayers! We will need them especially with the holidays coming what a time to lose food.
I am SO sorry! Liam really struggles with constipation as well. He takes 3/4 capful of miralax daily and that seems to really help. I don't know how we could do formula only, especially since I haven't gotten him to like one yet! I pray things go well for you!
