Well, I've just been trying to feed her more food to get more calories in. I've tried giving her hemp milk and almond milk and she's not interested in either of them. She won't even drink apple juice. I just got her to drink a little water from a sippy cup in the last few days. Progress :-)

Yeah, she was on Elecare and didn't do any better on that. She seems to do better on Alimentum RTF than Elecare, but at this point she's starting to wean herself off formula anyway.

Interesting... we are waiting for my daughter's GI doctor to put in orders for me and my husband to get tested. We'll see what comes of that.

I have not been tested...

They did not suspect celiac at all when we went in for the scope, they were trying to rule out reflux. So, I'm sure they did not do any blood tests for celiac. The first indication they had was when the results came back from the biopsies. The Dr said they were sending the results to Children's Hospital for a second opinion, so it sounds like they are not...

Wow, your poor little girl! I'm glad you got things figured out. So, when the doctor left the message about what they found in the biopsies, he said that we might want to try cutting out gluten. But I read that for the tests to be accurate, you have to ingest gluten for a certain amount of time (12 weeks?) before the test. So, I'm thinking that if we...

Yes, it's a very low amount. My mother also had trouble breast-feeding me. I chose to stop because I was producing so little and it seemed like the baby spit up more on my milk than she did on the hypo-allergenic formula. I will take a look at the list. Now that I think about it, my husband has been compaining of digestive issues in the past couple years...

My dad has diabetes. I had an ectopic pregnancy before this one. Other than that, I have no health problems, and no one in my immediate family has any major issues other than the normal ones associated with getting old. My husband can't think of anything in his family either. I do supposedly have silent reflux, as my dentist says it's affecting my teeth...

No one in my family or his family has celiac or any food allergies that we know of. I was allergic to dairy when I was a baby, but I grew out of it.

My daughter has had eating issues since she was born. She would refuse her bottle and only ate about half the amount she was supposed to. They thought she was allergic to dairy, so we put her on a hypo-allergenic formula. I thought she might be allergic to corn, so I put her on corn-free formula. We've been on meds for reflux, had all kinds of tests done...
