ARCHIVED High Fat High Protein Diet 6 Year Old
bento replied to lkboettger's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I was so angry and frustrated, it took us a while to pursue this again. We call that guy "Dr. Cheeseburger" now. It's become a bit of a family joke now.

I cut back on artificial supplement drinks last week out of frustration..I didn't think they were doing any good and they are terrible on the teeth, and he's lost weight.

ARCHIVED Doing A Scope Despite Negative Bloodwork
bento posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I have an almost 6 yr old child with recurring diarrhea (sometimes every day for a week, sometimes a week with no problems, sometimes one day and not the next but back again the following..no real pattern). We have tried food diaries, done two trials without milk (no help). He is falling off the growth chart in weight (36 lbs) and BMI (<5th percentile...
