Any insight much appreciated!

Things have been so nerve ratteling!  Seems this year has not been very good, at all.  Problems everywhere...husband, kids, school, on and on.  Especially concerned with my youngest son's health.   Any messages very much welcomed.

It's hard when you're overwhelmed with so many issues all at one time... I know it makes me feel like I'm going to go crazy lol! It is challenging, but things will work themselves out.

May I ask what is wrong with your son's health?  

This year is almost over... next year is just a fresh new beginning

Thak you.  Hopefully things will improve soon.
My youngest has been having IBS symptoms.  He has been on IBS medicine and Imodium and still can't go to school.  He has been out of school now for two weeks.  He is on a different med. now and things seem to be getting better.  He was tested for parasites and bacteria and they didn't find anything.

I really hope that things brighten and your son starts to feel better soon. Have you been asked to keep him on a certain diet? Is it IBS or is it more intestine issues? Has he only been having these issues for 2 weeks or has it finally gotten so bad that it has become an issue? Hugs..

Thanks all for your information.  Greatly appreciated.

Today my little guy is doing better.  I don't know for sure if it is IBS or a condition called encopresis.  So far the doctor has not really checked into any thing else. He has been having problems since the end of last May and the last couple of weeks has been really  bad.  Most days he would run to the bathroom over 10 times a day.  Caused a lot of dirty  laudnry.  One morning I thought if I have to clean up any more   xxxx  I'm gonna puke!!  He is looking much better.  No more dark circles under the eys, or paleness, or weakness, or the shakes.  Appetite does not seem to be back to normal yet.  But he is looking and acting better.

My mother and my middle child suffer from Celiac (sp?) disease.  Wheat/gluten intolerance.

Thanks for your time.
