Got MILK?????

This week I had to take two of our children to see the doctor. One with a fever and the other had diarrhea for 2 WEEKS!!! Monkey (the fever kid) has a throat infection and was given a broad spectrum antibiotics. Nothing new there. J Bear on the other hand, had been complaining of stomach pain and had been pooping 6- 8 times a day. I figured of course your tummy would hurt if you were pooping that much but doctor says



 "He is allergic to something"......


........

"Take him off all fruit, vegetables and Milk....."

"When the diarrhea stops slowly introduce these things back into his diet and look for more poops and upset stomach...."

Ummn... excuse me doctor.... all he eats is raw fruits and vegetables and he drinks about 32 oz of Chocolate Milk a day!....

"Well then ..... feed him something else!"

So we took the med to get the poops to stop... and i stared at him for a bit....

he napped.....

then he got hungry...

i tried to ignore him but he said he was hungry...

so i looked at him for a while longer and came to the conclusion that he would not have fruits or veggies. We tried toast (no go) crackers (nope) juice in a cup (he had a few sips)....

he was hungry....

he had rice...

but then bedtime came.... as it does every night only tonite was different from the last 900 or so...

tonight he had to go to bed WITHOUT MILK.....

it was rough to say the very least... he wept... he kicked... he screamed... he pouted... he was not happy...

The next morning he wanted his smoothie for breakfast... but what is a smoothie without milk, yogurt and fruit... its just an empty blender!!!

so he had DRY cereal...

this was not going to work for him or me...

Poor kid...

So i decided that we would feed the kid... raw fruits and veggies but NO MILK.... see what happens.... and he was good... lunch.... same thing.... still good.... dinner ..... still good.... then at bedtime he had half of grammas tea with skim milk and WHOOSH... in 20 minutes or so he was on the toilet and rubbing his belly, cramps, pains, awful for a few hours.....

Next day... more fruit and veggies, and NO MILK..... poops are good, tummy doesn't hurt... he grabs Robins sippy cup of chocolate milk and chugs it.... 20 minutes later... doubled over on the couch... tears.... poops....

I think we are seeing a pattern...

But we were still having an issue with the no baba at night....

So i bought Soy milk and it went off without a hitch... I'm not a big fan of soy and when i get to the city i will pick up Rice milk and see how he likes that...

And so we have a child with an allergy...

Allergic to MILK!!!
