Hi, I'm in NZ and have 2 boys, almost 5 and 2. Our youngest has had feeding trouble since 7wks but that was only the start. Since late last year (when things became worse on ongoing) he has had stools that range from orange in colour and like runny porridge to green to almost black. He is tired and grumpy a lot and has now gained no weight for approx 12weeks. He has been off dairy since brith, older brother has dairy allergy so we knew right away when he reacted, and also off soy and dried fruits. He has had an endoscopy earlier in the year to check for EE as he was also having random episodes of vomiting, most often about 11pm, but apart from one last week that has stopped. The endoscpoy showed nothing. Not celiacs, and there were no markers to show it was a response to an allergy. 3 weeks ago we put him on a gluten free diet (Dr wants him to do it for 6 weeks) but that has not yet helppd. He often eats fine for 6-8 weeks then will stop eating pretty much anything for up to 2 weeks. Our worst round of this resulted in 3 after hours dr visits daily GP visits for dehydratn as the runs were so bad. Oh, and often food is still whole in his nappies.

I'm just at such a loss as what to do and no one seems to have any ideas on whats wrong with him. I just dont know what to do. Everyone (none dr trained!) tells me to just get over it and move on, its just the way he is, but it just cant be right. I have spent hours online looking for other things it could be but now my brain is just a mess.

I would LOVE to hear any suggestions from anyone who might just be able to give me an idea of what might be going on. I just dont know what to do to help him and leaves me feeling so guilty that I cant fix whats wrong.

Thanks

Anna
