Stool testing results

The GI doctor called this evening with Izzy's stool sample results. His stools are highly acidic, and contain 3+ mg of sugars. According to the doctor, this indicates that Izzy definitely has an intolerance to something I am eating - most likely dairy.

She is using the first stool sample result as a baseline. I am supposed to completely eliminate soy, dairy, citrus, and peanuts (which I've been doing for the past two weeks), and then take in a new stool sample to have it analyzed.

Although I expected her to call with bad news, I was hopeful that his stools would come back normal.

I'm so sorry.

At least maybe resolving this will help you guys get some sleep.

How do you enjoy any dairy goodness if you can't even have soy?? I thought that it was the miricle product for those allergic to regular dairy?? Am I that nieve?

Anywho, I hope he is feeling better soon!! You both deserve the much needed sleep!
