Maddie's Dr Appointment

So Maddie has been throwing up and having diarrhea since June 11th. I brought her in to the pediatrician and she said that it was a virus. I waited another week and when she wasn't any better I called back to the doctor. To make a long story short, I was on the phone 4 times and finally she referred us to a specialist.

We had our appointment on Monday and I went there expecting the specialist to blow me off and not do anything. I was pleasantly surprised! The specialist thinks that she has reflux and a is REALLY constipated!! We have been dealing with the constipation for about 10 months. We have been giving her a laxative to help, but he doesn't think that it has helped completely. He did say that there is a possibility that the vomiting and diarrhea could also be from celiac disease.

So the plan is...we did a BUNCH of blood work. I felt so bad for Maddie. She was such a trooper though. On Friday we are going to have an upper GI and an abdominal xray. He also started her on some medication for the reflux. We are going to see what all of this shows and see how the medicine is working.

I will keep everyone posted when I know more information.
