Hannah has had a tummy ache for a year now.
I was hoping it would go away. It hasn’t.
So, now we have to figure out what it is.
We started with allergy testing.
That was fun.
We were worried that she would have a ton of allergies, like her mother.
We were also worried that she’d go into anaphylaxic shock, like I did when I was tested.
She didn’t. Thank Heaven!
The problem, and blessing, is, she isn’t allergic to anything.
So, allergies aren’t causing her tummy pain.
Next we had her tested for Celiac.
All her symptoms point to it- brittle bones, bad teeth, weight loss, tummy pain,
short stature. Then there’s a family history of it, too.
Blood work came back negative.
Which doesn’t really mean she doesn’t have it, though.
So, for some reason, her doctor wanted her tested for Mono.
Negative.
Go figure. She has NO symptoms of it.
Tested her for H. Pylori.
Negative.
Now, we have to get her into a Pediatric Gastroenterologist.
Hopefully they can find what’s going on.
It’s so hard to have her in pain and not know what it is and not know how to help.
Hopefully we find out soon. I will let you know…
