Logan and the Dr.

Blake and I brought Logan back to the Dr. because his situation hasn't improved. Last night we gave him some milk around 7 pm and by the time Blake and I went to bed he was stinky so Blake changed him and luckily he stayed asleep. it was only a little but still. Then this morning when I went to get him he was yucky and smelly and had to have a bath. To the point, the Dr. said it could be when he had diarrhea bad with the stomach bug that it could have wiped out the enzymes and it takes a few weeks for the body to build those back up and if we are giving him milk and he doesn't have the enzymes to break it down into the sugars then he gets diarrhea again. His advice was to take Logan completely off of dairy products for 5 days except a little yogurt here and there because that has the acidopholis to build back up the enzymes, So now in our refrigerator we have scrumptious vanilla and chocolate soy milk! I hope this clears up the problem, if not, then I have to run to the clinic and pick up some stool catchers and scoop up the yucky diarrhea and have it tested for a parasite or bacteria....... any volunteers???

Did your Dr. give you an Rx for acidophilus? If not, ask! It is great to sprinkle on all their food that is not milk. Livy had the same problem after months of antibiotic due to ear infections. Good luck!

No! I wish he had because I think that is all he needs is a little extra help and he can't have tons of yogurt! Hmpfh!
