~Lot's of Specialists We Shall See...~

Hey everyone, I hope you're doing amazing! (Warning don't read this post if you have a weak stomach) My sweet 9 year old son Josiah has always had really bad stomach issues since he was a baby. He would get backed up so bad he would cry and cry as a baby until I used a suppository. Since he was a baby the doctors ALWAYS said it's normal constipation. I kept telling them I have 5 children, this is NOT normal. What does a Momma know, right? Anyway, I recently switched to another doctor for him because his last 2 only wanted to put him on Miralax and do nothing to find the root of the issues. I was tired of putting a bandaid on this problem... His new doctor is AMAZING! The minute I told him about what's been going on Josiah's whole life he said let's send him for more testing. So grateful! Josiah went for an x-ray which showed severe issues in his tummy of being backed up for too long, his bone x-ray showed he hasn't grown since he was 6 because of these issues-they are thinking the nutrients aren't being absorbed properly in his body to help him grow. Next stop...an endocronologist and a GI specialist. Praying soon we will have some answers after 9 long years of waiting! Don't give up, keep pressing on & Momma's always trust your instincts. Keep searching for a doctor who will LISTEN to you, they are out there-although hard to find I admit.
