Kennedy's Test Results

Today Kennedy had an appointment with Dr. House and we finally got the results of the Comprehensive Stool Analysis and Parasitology.   Looks like a lot of the probiotics are working well for her.  One of the major things we found is that she is not digesting carbohydrates.  Dr. House wants Kennedy to take a Pancratic Enzyme 30 minutes before each meal to help with digestion.  Another area she is lacking is fiber which is hard with a gluten free diet and having an allergy to flax seed.  We will try to work on getting more fiber from fruits, veggies and beans.  We do feel like we are finally getting somewhere and know that we are doing everything possible to get her back on track.   I had told Dr. House that it was sometimes hard to go to birthday parties and other events and eat out of a cooler.  She looked at me and said,  "Just because children are running around eating cake and ice cream does not mean that on the inside they are healthy."  Wow!  That was one of those light bulb moments when it totally made sense!  How true is that?
