Dr. Montes called today with the biopsy results. It appears that there is inflammation in the cells taken from the colon. The inflammation seen is common with types of food allergies. The two biggest problems are dairy and egg. So, as of today, no dairy or egg for both Mom and Logan. This helps explain some of the food aversion he has. Why eat if it makes you feel horrible?
Dr. Montes is recommending we have a pediatric allergist conduct a skin prick test to help isolate his biggest allergens. We will need to go through his pediatrician, Dr. Matsumoto, for this. Additionally, he recommends that we move him over to a perscription hypoallergenic formula. I'll be picking up some samples from his office today to see which one Logan will tolerate. He gave us a link (www.foodallergy.com) for a complete list of foods we need to avoid until he has further testing. Fun!! : ) We'll have a follow-up with Dr. Montes in 2 months to evaluate how he is doing.

Logan's Daddy!
ReplyDeleteI saw this link on the board during class, and knew I had to read it. I am praying for your beautiful family, and especially Logan everyday. Your family's faith is inspiring, and I can feel the greatest love for Heavenly Father in your words and through your experiances.
