Avery is feeling so horrible! We can't get in to the GI doc til the 22nd of December. He is so uncomfortable he was crying before school this mornign because he was scared he'd have an accident. His bowels are so lose when he finally has them that he really doesn't have time to make it to the toilet every time. He is only 3, potty training is still a work in progress. If anyone has any suggestions as to things that might help him be more comfotable, I'd really appreciate it. His actually ped doesn't want to talk to me now, cause she made the referral.. so she says I can't take it up with the specialist.

I would call the ped. back and tell her that you can't get him in until Dec. 22 and someone needs to help you. Is it possible to try another GI instead of waiting?

I know what your going through,just keep liquids in him.It will take a while for things to get better.

My 6 year old was just diagnosed 1 week ago with Celiac D ,I've been dealing with the lose bowels for three months now.My daughter actually holds it all in ,all day at school and comes home and blows the back of the toilet off.

It's bad but ,I promise it will get better.Have you checked around to see if you can see another GI in your area.

My referal was 1 week and I saw the GI 4 days later, 2 weeks after that we went gluten free.It still seemed like forever.

I hope little Avery starts feeling better.

I'm sure you'll get some good replies on this forum,it's a real good place to learn and get support.

Can he just stay home from school until this is sorted out? I notice he's only 3 ... I wouldn't suggest it if he were already in kindergarten.

Be sure to keep him hydrated. He might need some electrolytes, too, since he has d so bad.

He is staying home from school at this point. The sad story is, there are really not any other pediatric GI docs in this area. The other docs, are all with the same office. So, if they had an opening they would have given it to me. I faxed his file to the GI doc though, and he is going to look at it and call me. Maybe squeeze him in. We'll see. He is feeling somewhat better today. He just hasn't ate much to upste the belly since yesterday.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
