Hello, I am new to the post. I have received my first Kahoona kit from Heather. I am excited to get started to see how it can help my IBS. I have an 8 year old daughter who has suffered from similiar IBS symptoms for the last 2 years. I decided I should take her to a pediatric GI doc after she had an accident on the school bus and the anxiety from this created repeated symptoms every morning prior to getting on the school bus. The GI doc did all kinds of blood work and then a colonscopy. Today I received a call from his office and was informed that my daughter's biopsy showed low sugar enzymes. I realize this means she has lactose intolerance which I have assumed all along. Now she has to take Lactaid tabs w/ each meal and snacks. She has to take Carafate for 2 mths to see if it helps. He thinks this is tansient and can be curred. Not sure where this takes her and I both ? Anyone heard of this, please let me know. My concerns for my daughter's problems creates anxiety for me which does not help my IBS. Sorry my message is so long. Thanks for taking the time to read.
