school

[Guest guest]

I wanted to ask for those of you who have younger kids in school how do you get

the teachers to be cooperative not to give the kids anything. Last week Miriam

was given a toffy and of course she ate it and for days she was having stomache

aches and diareah. I talked to the teacher and all she said was " I can't take

the responsibility to remember each time not to give her " She said I should put

a sign on her saying " Do not feed me " or something similar so they will

remember when they see the sign. I don't like the idea of pointing her out as

different I want her to try and feel as normal as possible. Am I wrong. What do

other people do.

My son has been eating now 10 weeks and still has the diareah. Miriam's GI

keeps telling me that he doesn't have what Miriam has because he doesn't have a

low IGA but when I compare his numbers to her numbers his are lower than hers so

I don't understand what he is talking about. MY pediatrican is convinced he does

have it and the only thing that is saving him right now with the weight is that

he is still nursing.(he is 2 and 3 months) MY pediatrician wants to hospitalize

him and do scoping and a battery of tests. Do you think we should look for

another GI or stay with the one we have and hope he will hopefully do something.

Do I take care of him or just ignore th efact that everything he eats goes right

through him (as very loose or watery)
