My DD has had problems with her guts since birth.Initially she was diagnosed with lactose intolerence and as much as the doctors tried to convince myself and my darling husband that projectile diarrhoea and vomitting was quite normal, I was left wanting. After ten very stressful weeks of expressing milk prior to feeding and adding Lacteeze to milk I eventually gave up and put her on full time formula. I regret this, but was at the end of my tether and would have comp fed if I had been given the appropriate support and knowledge.
More recently, she has been on solids and has had one bout of 4 weeks of diarrhoea then a really nasty viral gastro for a week. She is not the most robust child for her age so it is a worry that each time this happens she stops eating for a while and loses weight. Each time these problems have occurred, Doctors have been dismissive as the tests have not turned up anything apart from inflammation. I`m constantly told to trust my instict as a mother by the professionals and then ignored by them when I have concerns.
