21. Allergies - that crossed my mind

They did imaging, and then x-rays, and didn't find anything. Around 10:30 my son sent a text saying he nursed and his vomiting had stopped and they were going to release him. They got home around 12:30.

Apparently they said it could be FPIES, which is rare, but they can outgrow it. They're supposed to take him to his pediatrician today.

I hope they slow their roll on other food. I know that little guy loves to eat, but I think my son might get more zealous than he should be in introducing new foods. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it can really mess up their system when they're given something before their little bodies are ready.

Many years ago I had an acquaintance who told me her son had severe food allergies. She had given him a bottle of orange juice when he was only a month old and it did a lot of damage. I didn't know her very well.

Thank you for your good wishes. I hope they figure this thing out.
