I took Olivia to the pediatrician on Monday, to go over the blood work. Everything came back fine. Perfect. So this stomach thing has all of us stumped now.


I have a referral to a gastroenterologist because the pediatrician doesn't know what's wrong with Olivia. Fantastic.


The celiac panel came back negative, which was nice, although I've since read on the CWD parents mailing list that kids can have celiac without having symptoms or a funky blood test. That makes no sense to me, but people are saying they eliminated gluten from their children's diets and the stomach issues went away. Something to ask about, I guess.


I'm also supposed to keep a food diary. This should be easy, right? Only it's not. I don't dole out Olivia's food. She's 13 and gets her own snacks and sometimes her own meals, if I'm not around. I don't sit there, watching her every bite. And she SWAGs it, too. She's actually pretty good at that. It must be the years of practice.


I really was hoping to have an answer to this. I'm back to leaning towards nerves/stress/being a teenager. I honestly don't know. Hopefully the gastro person has something more concrete for me.
