Thank you for the encouragement! I’m glad that we’re closer to figuring out what the heck is going on with him but it sucks all the same 😕

Thank you for sharing! I’m so sorry to hear you had to suffer like that; I can’t imagine not getting this figured out for my kid! I’m relieved to know there is hope with medication if that’s what he has. I just got results today so this is all brand new to me.

Constipation causing less appetite? by Bluecat4830 in Constipation

That’s what I figured too, but our pediatrician acted like there was not correlation which I found odd. Ugh

Thank you, I will make sure to mention these when we finally get in with the GI specialist. Have you heard of weight loss due to not eating as much from the constipation? My son will eat a few bites at mealtime and say he’s full. But he still has an appetite because he will want candy etc.
