Some Advice To Go To The Gi

[glutenfreemamax2]

Ok, here is some background:

My son, Dean was a premie. He was born by C-section. I had a prev child who was 2 at the time, so my fears weren't a first time mom thing. Dean would stop breathing in the middle of the night. It's like he was chokeing. I started letting him sleep propped up on my arm. He had an upper GI that showed reflux. Started reflux meds, but he still wasn't sleeping longer than 10 minutes at a time. I would put him in the car seat, and the pressure of the seat on his stomach would start him screaming. I was a prisoner in my house and car. His stomach would make this awful popping noise. I would only hold him faceing out, with my arm/hand putting pressure on his stomach. He had mucus/bloody movements. They did stool culture upon stool culture. I was nursing, and I cut out all of my Casein. I went to the allergist, and he was majorly positive for egg. I cut all the egg and casein out of my diet. He got better. At 1, he was tested again, and he was negitive. So they told me to give him egg and dairy.

My son is now 3, and he has not once slept through the night. He insists on sleeping in my bed. He still has a binkey. He still wakes up a few times a night. He complains his stomach hurts, but I can't tell if it's "I don't want to go to bed so my tummy hurts", or if it really hurts.

My family thinks i'm trying to make somethign wrong with him, and that he is fine. He had pnemonia 2 times last year that required ER visits. I had a sleep study done on him when he was like 9 months old. They told me that it took him longer to fall asleep, but other than that he was ok.

I am going back to the GI with him on Tuesday. He had the Celiac blood test done, and they called and said it was fine. When my husband goes with me, he says I'm seeing symptoms that are not there. He thinks I am creating symptoms.

Last well baby he had, they told us his iron was low. My husband is insisting it's because he dosen't eat fruits and veggies (he likes blander things) He has a little belly, but he is "under weight" Both my kids are small. He is 27 pounds and 3. He's in the 5th percentile.

He will hold his poop because it hurts. He will let a little out, but then stop and get up. He's always had a hard time going.

I had very similar problems growing up, and no one helped me. I'm trying to be proactive and make sure that he is ok. Am I going over board? Anything I should ask the GI specifically? How do you get a kid who loves cookies and cake and stuff to not eat it? The school supplies food, and they are ok with me packing his lunch, but how many differnt things can i send him, so he is like everyone else?!?! Please help with some advice. I just don't know what to do anymore.
