That Was Quick December 13, 2007
I got a call from the new GI’s office Tuesday afternoon letting me know that someone had canceled their appointment for yesterday. We snagged it and headed off to see the new GI early yesterday morning.
I definitely like him better than the old GI. It seems that he actually wants to figure out what’s going on with Adam instead of passing us off to the allergist or just recommending formula. He confirmed the multiple protein intolerance diagnosis and said that a likely reason for Adam being unable to tolerate solid food is inflammation in the GI tract. He recommended that we schedule an endoscopy and check things out in there.
So, that’s what we did. Adam is scheduled for an endoscopy on January 3rd. I hate that he’ll have to go through the whole IV and anesthesia thing again, but we do need to see if we can find out what’s going on.
The GI said that depending on the degree of inflammation that it may be treatable by medication. There’s also a possibility that we could be dealing with something more severe than that, but we’ll just have to see when we get to that point.
He did say that I need to acknowledge the fact that Adam may need something more hypoallergenic than my breastmilk even on the elimination diet. The thought of weaning him before he is ready breaks my heart. I have to remember not to get ahead of myself, though. We just have to wait and see what we find out from the endoscopy. Hopefully it won’t come to that.

I’m glad you got in so quick, that’s awesome. This doctor sounds very proactive, I like that. Fingers crossed that medication does the trick.
Poor little guy, but I’m hoping this person can get you some real answers.
Glad you found a better GI. My daughter had some stomach issues and with the help of a good GI she is doing extremely well now. Hope you get to the bottom of things soon.
So happy you found a good GI. Hope he gets you the answers you need! Happy holidays.
