Lactose intolerance my butt. This kid is sick with something else entirely. He hasnt had dairy for 4 days solid food-wise and no normal formula for 24hrs and he is still sick - vomitted all over me and our bed last night out of the blue. He is refusing to drink anything now because he hates the soy formula and he has had a small rash on his hand (looks like bruising) for 4 days now and its spreading up his arm this morning. Shell, they didnt take any stool samples because the stupid Dr was so sure it was LI so no tests were done. I come to find out a simple acid test with his poo would have yay'd or nay'd the lactose idea there and then. He is so whingy and clingy its not funny and he's lost 700g of weight. This isnt my child. But because he isnt miserable with a fever and lethargy they wont take me seriously. Anna, I think he has a gastro bug or something similar but they wont do any tests so I have no idea if thats what it is or not. He writhes like he's in pain esp at night and is inconsolable at times.
Im getting sick of this and Im starting to worry, this isnt normal. Im going to try the other hospital here (the one we went to for the ear infections) and see if they will be fantastic again in their treatment of us both. No point seeing the GP as it will take a week for any test results to come back when I can get them back same day through the hospital.
This is taking its toll on me health wise, I bet my BP is through the roof and Im having cramps all the time now. Maybe I can get them to check me over too while Im there.
