SICK Children
Why Why must we be sick...???...Why do I have a WEAK stomach...???...I am a mother for crying out loud...!!!...Well, Matthew and I had to leave school today because of sickness. We believe Matthew may be lactose intolerant so we are trying out different lactaid pills and we have even gone totally cold turkey from lactose products. Tomorrow we are going to the doctor offically to see if it is lactose intolerant or a milk allergy (yes, there is a difference). Matthew has always experienced violent episodes of stomach cramping and other stomach issues. We have had Matthew seen about in the past and the doctors told us at that time it was "GAS", well I believe (mother's intution) that it is something more serious than "GAS". Keep us in your prayers............

Sounds like you've had all kinds of fun recently!
Cassey- have you and/or him ever been tested for Celiac Disease? Basically it's an intolerance for gluten and you can also develope a lactose intolerance.
Here's a link to a Wikipedia article-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celiac_disease
The doctors will need to do a blood test and possibly and endoscopy and biopsy to be completely sure, but you could also start on a gluten-free diet aand see if it makes any difference.
I have a really good friend who has Celiac Disease, and so does her son. They have a lot of the same symptoms you are having. She ran the Natural Foods store here in Albany that I worked at for awhile. I learned a lot about the disease while I was working there, so give me a call if you have questions or need help find gluten-free products and recipes.
Ok, any news/updates yet ?
I love reading your blog. It sounds just like the way you talk. I also wonder about my mothering sometimes. Jed cut a chunk out of his knee last week and I didn't even want to see. The nurse had bandaged it all up and that was fine with me!
