)..we were making small talk in the interim and she was complaining about how hot it was there.

Honestly I have to make T eat most of the time. He hates to eat because of his IBS, always has stomach issues after eating, he would skip meals if I let him .
I’ve talked with his doctors so many times. I used to give him pediasure sidekicks daily, in addition to smoothies that I make for him. His doctor said that she isn’t overly concerned even though he’s only 15th percentile in weight for his height. I’m hoping he starts eating more as he continues to grow. He’s so darn skinny.
Those are sooo cute!!!
. The issue with the professionals is that there’s not really any options that don’t involve poison, and even with that they don’t think it will get them all, plus it puts me at higher risk for dead squirrels or chipmunks in my house 
They’re all over mine and my neighbor’s yards.
I would still try an elimination diet with him. Maybe try an find a Naturopathic physician? I am sure you have some where you live. My MD also does alternative medicine so I get the best of both worlds.I did do this 2 years ago, after having to get my chimney redone because of squirrels
I’m also very worried about poison for 2 other reason,
First and foremost- my dog. My dog is also the main reason that I don’t use humane kill traps.
Second reason is because it’s so cruel...and the house or under deck rotting.
Maybe I should get a second opinion now, the company back then made it sound like there isn’t any great options besides continuing to trap them.
He is healthy. This is why his pediatrician and GI doctor told me to stop wasting money on pediasure daily. They said I should still use it when traveling or on busy days, but daily isn’t necessary. They’re not too concerned with his weight, especially because of the sports.. they’re just watching it.
Sorry if this is TMI, but he can’t eat after 90 minutes prior to a practice or game because he gets diarrhea so bad almost every time he eats.. but he also gets very constipated to the point where his bowels get impacted... that’s where the medicine comes in. He tries to avoid eating so that doesn’t happen, not all of the time, but a lot of the time. They’ve done so many tests and don’t have an explanation for what’s causing it. They said he will hopefully grow out of it.
The GERD was during infancy.. thankfully I stayed home with him for the first 13 months of his life.. A. Because he never did take a bottle from me.. and B. Because I was covered in baby puke constantly.. He was a projectile exorcist style puker. It was gross!
It is possible I used too much. I should try it again. It is the only sweetener I can have.
The 20th Century Fox logo is disturbing with Mickey in it. That 20th Century Fox logo has always been iconic.
Just curious--was this only a temporary advertising thing to promote any recent news, or do you know if they're actually going to make that permanent in the logo? Pray, no . . .
Pretty sure that this has already been answered, but, I’m sure that logo ain’t happnin’ in any official capacity...!!!
Thanks. That’s a good suggestion. The only other thing that our GI doc suggested was behavioral therapy. I did take him to see someone, and I had to fill out a million papers beforehand, but the behavioral therapist didn’t see any signs of anything to be concerned about. This has been going on for a few years, all I was told is that sometimes kids have stomach problems without a known medical cause. It sounds strange to me, but I trust them because I know the hospital is great.. you’re probably right though. It would be wonderful if he never had to deal with it and we could find a root cause.
Just as a side note here to the discussion, when I was growing up, one of my brothers had all kinds of wacko medical things wrong with him -- nothing major, at least. Doctors really had no explanation for his issues, but pretty much told my parents that he'd mostly like 'grow out" of them?! Guess what? He did!
