Sugar and Spice and All Things Not So Nice

Papa visited this weekend. I knew with his arrival there would be somethings consumed that did not fit into the parameters of The List, but, have been wondering if we should not be following The List as the doctor ordered a scope procedure for Wednesday of this week and if the food is not in his system how can they determine if it is the food that is causing the issues? I asked the nurse the above question last week during our phone conference. She never answered the question. Then, yesterday afternoon happened... Yesterday afternoon, there was a super watery bowl movement. Thinking removing most all sugar was a good thing. Still wish I knew if fructose was okay or if lactose was okay. Even though the doctor said that lactose could just be a "red-herring" I am hesitant to allow him to have lactose. Oh well, the pondering continues... He is asking for orange julius. Need to go help him.

I have successfully made a grocery list, which I believe, will only have us visiting two grocery stores tomorrow. SHOCK! & Awe!  And, should be okay to serve our weekend company of grandparents.
Tomorrow is two weeks from the day The List was introduced. So, I have to call and talk to the nurse about, "What now?" Some wonderful mamas I know helped me brainstorm some questions to ask the nurse.
*What made the doctor decide sugar and not the more common allergies should be eliminated first?
*What is our next step?
*Did the blood test show any allergies?
*Could this be caused by a viral or bacterial infection? How would you test for this? Have you tested for this? *Could it be a reaction to fructose?

Pondering...

If you are using acidophiles and the child who is the primary concern asks for multiple tablets a day, even though the bottle recommends one a day for his age, do you let him have two in the hopes he knows it is making him feel better and he can sense the first one is wearing off? He, usually, takes one in the a.m. and then asks for a second before bed. As of right now, I only let him have the one. May need to ask my favorite herbal store owner his thoughts...
Also, pondering if I will get a phone call later today about the stool test results?
And, what exactly is suppose to happen on Tuesday? The doc said to give The List two weeks, then, "we will talk." But, they didn't have me make an appointment. I was under the impression it would be on the phone, but, do I call him or wait for him to call me? Need to ask when they call with the stool test results...
