Agreed. He was getting probiotics before his hospital stay and then very regularly for a month or two afterward.

With taking the higher calorie milk he has started completely rejecting solids and they seem to give him discomfort. I'm going to have to talk about that with his GI dr. I'm afraid to start any new foods until we rule out allergies with the biopsy results.

Glad to here the scan went well today. Hopefully the biopsies reveal some easy allergy answers and you can all move forward. How wonderful that he's gained some weight already! Yay!

Scope results showed allergy cells. We are switching to hypo-allergenic formula to see if that helps.
