Olive

I took Olive to the pediatrician today to discuss her tummy issues. I tried my best to explain the severity of the problem... but unless she were to come home with us for a few hours, she can't see what I am talking about. The good news is that her issues aren't effecting her weight gain. My chunky monkey is 10lbs even today! I took her in thinking that maybe she had thrush which could possibly cause gassiness and irritability. The nurse practitioner said that she didn't have thrush, just milk tongue. There goes that theory. She said that it could be reflux, which seems to be the baby catch-all, and gave me a prescription for Zantac. I doubt this is the problem, but I'm desperate for solutions.

When I got home, I tried to think of what foods I could be eating to cause her problems. The nurse practitioner had asked me if I thought there was a correlation to my diet and my response was that it would have to be something that I eat a lot of every day. Well, I realized that dairy might be the cause. Luckily, I had eaten no dairy for the entire day so far. I will keep this up and see if it helps at all. Here's hoping...
