16 has been on diet 6 weeks and is very ill suddenly?

[Guest guest]

may have got something in his system at daycamp that I did

not know about. He was in a whole with dirt, water, and grass I am

told Thursday morning. He got in and sat because he saw the other

kids do this for survivor night when he slept out at camp Wednesday

night. has been very ill since Friday. Extremely unusual!

He has not been this ill ever! He has a temperature of about 101-

103 depending on the hour. His throwing up increased Monday night

until now. He has the runs. He has a cough too. I gave him charcoal

pills about one half hour ago in case he has something in his system

needing to get out. I fed him some pureed apple/rasins a few

moments ago. Unfortunately everthing just came all back up.

Could this be die off??? I know he had white chalky stuff in April

then again in May so the hospital could see how he swallows and

where the liquid goes. I was told this chalky stuff causes

constipation. Could this be finally working its way out?

If he is not better by this afternoon I will have to take him in to

the hospital. I really wanted to avoid antibiotics! COKE works

when he has a sick stomach but I don't want to alter the SCD!

Should I try coke anyways?

Thanks so much for feedback!

Cheers!
