So we have continued to go back to Sophie's wonderful GI Dr. since her reflux refuses to go away! The latest news is that she sent Sophie to an allergist to get tested for food allergies. The testing came back with a couple minor food allergies, but we took those foods out of her diet, and they proved to be doing no harm. So she is back to eating all foods again, but we went back to Sophie's allergist last week to get her tested for environmental allergens. He decided to test her for those, and add chicken in there...since he didn't test for that before. Turns out she had a reaction to chicken! It's pretty rare, and he said she will probably grow out of it. But now we were told to taker her off chicken for 3-4 days to see if it helps things...we're on day 2 and nothings changed. So, her reaction to chicken might turn out being nothing that we have to worry about.
Next step is on Monday, TCH is redoing Sophie's blood test for Celiac disease (gluten allergy). Unfortunately it's not a very easy test to do...so I felt the need to go out and buy her a treat for afterwards (the Woody doll from Toys Story)! I guess her GI Dr. just wants to make sure that it still comes back negative, since she's been eating gluten for a few months now. After that, the next step may be to do a stomach emptying test. It's non invasive, but fairly hard to do with a 2 year old. It involves having Sophie eat something that will show up on the scan, then have her lay down, very still, for an hour and a half...while they watch her food move throughout her intestines and such. Her Dr. isn't sure if that will be the next step since it might be impossible to do.
I will definitely keep everyone updated on things!
