Today we took Kennedy for a check up to see why Kennedy has been complaining of stomach aches and diarrhea for a month. We went to Idaho Pediatric Associates and saw Barbie. Kennedy loves her, she is a great Nurse Practitioner. It looks like Kennedy has colitis from the antibiotic she was on in December for the impetigo. It has been causing her diarrhea since taking the antibiotic. At our doctor appointment today we decided to try Lialda for 4-8 weeks to see if this will help Kennedy get over this bout of colitis. Due to her having IGA deficiency it may take closer to 8 weeks for her to see a difference. These pills are huge and Kennedy has no problem swallowing them. We are so lucky she is so compliant with all of this medical treatment.
