My first time holding Gabe in the hospital. (Day 2) I so badly wanted to take him home :o)

Off to the doctors tomorrow. Gabe has had diarrhea for a few days now. He's healthy otherwise and doesn't seemed bothered. He does have a red bum, which we are medicating, moisturizing and trying to air out during the day. He has such a cute bum. What's weird is that we can not figure out what is causing it. Gabe has a very limited diet and this seemed to just appear. We still have 2 weeks left of waiting to see a specialist in food allergies. I can not wait any longer! His constant GERD (he's on Previcid) and discomfort with food makes me wonder if everytime he eats he is having an allergic reaction. He is not showing any of the "typical" signs for a reaction though. I may be a bit over the top on this, but we found out a year and a half ago that my daughter is anaphylactic to peanuts and shellfish. She grabbed and ate a Buckeye candy (Kind've like a Resses Peanut Butter Cup shaped like a Buckeye nut) started to look really sick, by the time we got to the ER her fingertips were blue. My husband and I just look at each other sometimes and think what beautiful,smart,loving children we have with the worst mix of genes from each side. The two of us must have just been lucky that we missed some of those genes.

Does anyone know anything about Leaky Gut or bacteria in the gut? I've read a few things about this and I am still wondering if more is going on in his little body than we know. He had an Upper and Lower GI done and he is healthy. Every test comes back normal. I wonder sometimes if we are just looking in the wrong place and are missing it all together. I just wish he could tell me. I just wish someone in the medical field knew what they were talking about. I know that most, especially our peditrician, are trying so hard to be supportive anyway they can, but I feel like I am on my own. It is an undaunting pressure. Maybe that explains the increase in Cold Stone Creamery consumption lately. I think all will look better when they bring back the Cake Batter Flavor.
