So yesterday I took Harleigh to her pedi for a weight check. She was 16 pounds 11.5 ounces. We talked about how she won't eat and cries if she does and even if she doesn't. The fact that she won't sleep through the night and has the worse diarrhea ever. We finally decided to go ahead and do lab work. He has been hemming and hawing since she was 6 months old. But what made him decide to go ahead with is the fact that she didn't even get longer from her 12 month appointment. So he ended up having us see a Gastroenterologist because he believes she has Celiac disease. And after seeing the GI, she agrees. So we got sent for lab work, and after 2 sticks, they got enough for the celiac test but not everything else. And we have to get a stool sample once a day for 3 days to make sure she doesn't have a parasite or anything. If the tests come back that she has Celiac disease they will have her get an endoscopy to check the extent of damage it has caused since she has been untreated this whole time. And after that, then we can switch her diet to gluten free. They want her on normal food if she gets the endo because they need to see how its irritating her and effecting her. So god only knows how much longer I have to deal with the most unhappy baby on the planet. I know she hurts and its breaking my heart because there is nothing I can do.
Please keep your fingers crossed that we get results quickly!
