I was emailed a link with a story from MSNBC about labels for those with food allergies or those with Celiac disease (not an allergy but close enough). I wanted to share the link with you. Let me know what you think.

Hi! It’s been awhile since I’ve had a chance to get online & write.

Our youngest son, Milo has been having some digestive issues. We’re still trying to figure it all out but so far we know he has acid reflux disease & a possible dairy allergy. He’s still undergoing some testing, so we’re not positive yet on all that’s going on. He’s incredibly healthy, growing, thriving but just very fussy most of the day, isn’t sleeping well w/ icky poos & burps. He’s a nursling, so I’m diary free at the moment, too! I did start him on some solid food at 7 months (a few weeks ago)- some avocado & pear but he got extremely fussy again, so I backed off & he’s only nursing, no solids. He goes back to Children’s Hospital on Sept. 15th, we’re hoping to get more answers then.

Aiden is also undergoing some more testing. He’s having some genetic testing done & also some testing for IBD- the Dr’s do think he has Crohn’s disease. Obviously, pretty upset about that. We should also know more about that on the 15th with him, as well.

We finally got both boys into the system at Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles (associated with USCs Keck School of Medicine- GO TROJANS!!!). We LOVE their new doctors. He’s on a great team of Drs & I feel so relieved to finally have them there. We’re been there about twice a month for the past few months, trying to deal with have two boys there. Luckily from now on both of their appointments are on the same day/time. Yay!

I’ve been in the kitchen TONS lately. Pureeing veggies & fruits to sneak into Aiden’s meals because he’s so finicky. We’ve gotten so good at it- he’ll eat so much more lately. My greatest accomplishment is getting the flax seed meal into his yogurt! Woo Hoo!!!

That’s about it for now, or at least all that I have time for since Milo is waking up & fussing. Hope all is well with all of you.

In peace,

Lisa
