It looks like we have gotten to the bottom of DS2s sleeping problems. Sadly it also includes a positive result for coeliac.

Daytime fatigue and falling asleep mid-play, are put down to his extreme low iron count.

Stomach pains, constipation, flatulence, irritability are a result of his gluten intolerance.

What is concerning is that he also has a low white blood cell count. The paed asked if he was sick when he had a blood test as that could explain it. We need to retest in two months.

I feel absolutely awful as for the past three weeks we have been making him stay awake during the day, sedating with an antihistamine at night to see if it was just bad habit and to get him into a sleep routine.

The poor little poppit has had a hearing test, eye test, xray and blood test to get to the bottom of his behavioral and sleep issues.

The paed also gave him an echocardiogram which revealed that he has a bucuspid aortic valve. It doesn't need any treatment and he could quite possibly sail through life without any issues but there is a chance that he could have quite severe problems, which scares the absolute crap out of me.

So what next? I need recipes and lunchbox ideas plus any other support you might be able to provide.
