Giardia??? WHAT?

Tristan had his appointment with the Gastro Ped today. A little background on little t's poop...because I know you all are DYING to know! He has NEVER had a solid stool in his life...ok, I am wrong, with the exception of maybe 2 and those were a fluke thing. He has a bowel movement 6-8 times a day, and there is ALWAYS undigested food in his stool. Everytime he eats, he poops. We used to think it was so clever, "wow, he has his bm's on a schedule...he is going to be EASY to potty train!" Little did we know that it was because he was just passing the food directly in and out...We sent in 3 samples to his Ped to be tested for any blood, abnormalities and the such. It came back positive for something called Giardia. Giardia is a waterborne parasite that causes EXTREME diarrea and fatigue. The GI doesn't seem to think that this is what has been causing his poopy issues, but, it doesn't help. Right now, they are leaning more on the side of Celiac Disease or possibly Crohns, but we have to treat the parasite first...so that means antibiotics for 10 days and then they have to scope him. I will post again once we discover this craziness....but, for the meantime, keep us in your thoughts and prayers, as always, we are very thankful for them!
