Dd Doesn't Have An Absorption Problem,

I posted about 3 wks ago about my dd that possibly had a vitamin K deficiency. Her blood isn't clotting fast enough. she has bruises all over her legs (and recenlty they are showing up on her arms) and her gums sometimes bleed.

The hematologist is ordering another very special blood test to check out her platelets. We have to drive nearly 2 hrs away for a 9am appt. on Monday to do this blood work. It can only be done in the AM. She hasn't really told us yet what she is looking for, but the Vit. K defeciency has been ruled out. She doesn't think that it is a bleeding disorder because my dd has had ear tubes put in twice and her adenoids removed without any problems.

Please pray for my little girl! I am so worried about her. And she HATES blood draws, and every time we go in, they have to do another blood draw. She just screams and begs for a bandaid. She turns 3 on Friday. She is too young to understand why we have to keep taking her to this dr that keeps hurting her. Please just keep her in your thoughts.

I will pray for her, and you. I know how hard it is to watch our children suffer. I am 32 and I HATE needles(it is the reason I did not attempt to get a formal diagnosis).

Good luck, I hope you find out what is going on and that it is easily fixable.

Anyways i understand and i wish you all well.

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
