Well, I took my son in to get his blood work done after a week of no improvement. In fact, he kind of went downhill: didn't want to eat, threw up on Tuesday and Thursday (distended stomach and awful gas pains included), constipation... yeah.
Monday (of this week), he seemed to be doing better. Had a GI appointment on Tuesday, and yesterday we performed a clean-out on him (2nd time we've had to do this. Yay for constipation.) He is also on a dairy-free diet (as mentioned in the previous post.).
ANYWAY, today I get a call from B's pediatrician. Turns out his thyroid levels are a "bit high", which could be caused by him being sick or from hyperthyroidism. So, to be safe, the doctor wants B to see a pediatric endocrinologist. He has an appointment on Tuesday.
Am I glad I listened to myself when I just felt like something was wrong with my boy?
Heck yes.
Thanks for reading; I don't mean to hog the blogosphere.

You are not hogging. I was actually curious. I hope they get to the bottom of the problem so you can have your little boy back!
Keep us updated!
