I had to pick Olivia up from school again today because her stomach was nauseous again. She's been on a course of Zantac for a couple of weeks now and it seemed to work for a while. This is the first time she's felt this bad. She told me last night that her stomach was a little sore, but not queasy.

So, I'm off to the store to get more Zantac (and pump batteries, which seem to have disappeared - I'm blaming my husband and all of his electronic gadgets) and I'm logging (I know!!!) all of her food. I haven't logged actual food in a while - just carbs. Thank goodness I have a good spreadsheet for all this. I'm just going to leave it open on the computer all day. Hopefully that will prompt me to get the stuff in there on a daily basis rather than slacking and then playing catch up. She's never going to remember what she ate yesterday and I certainly don't expect her to.

Someone in one of my other posts about this suggested a lactose intolerance. She does eat a lot of yoghurt and has milk at least twice a day most days. I'm not going to eliminate anything from her diet yet because I want to have something to bring to the gastroenterologist, if that's what it comes to.

This sucks. She's missing so much school over this. She already struggles a lot with math. I really don't want her falling any further behind, if it can be helped.

The other problem is that we're between insurances right now. My husband just changed jobs and neglected to ask if the insurance kicked in right away. I (stupidly) assumed he'd filled out all the paperwork, but I just got off the phone with him and apparently he hasn't done anything for insurance. Fantastic.
