Thanks for your response. I'm curious what is GERD? Also, when were you diagnosed with IBS? It's funny you mention a women gastro because I told my husband last night, the next doc I try with her is going to be a women. I know that there is little tests to do on her as a 9 year old and she has already had the blood work done by her ped. doc. Everything checked out fine. We asked the doc yesterday about hypoglycemic because she just feels terrible if she goes more than 2 hours between meals/snacks. He said he doubts it. Really made her feel like it was all in her head. I'm calling his nurse back this morning to ask some more questions. I really don't think she has acid reflex so what would the pepcid do for her? Although, she does have a tightness in her throat that she decribed.
I let her have some ice cream after no dairy for a week last night and she said she was fine. Probably shouldn't have. I have her on vanilla silk for everything else.
I feel a real connection with you. Thanks for all your help. Carolyn
P.S. I need to get a picture of us up so you can see the faces behind this email. How do you do it?
