Just last night I read about how they are adding phosphates into food items and It is not good for us. I wonder if that has anything to do with the elevated phosphate levels?

How is his diet? Does he eat alot of processed foods?

Dmom3005 08-24-2016 09:21 AM

I am not sure what Processed foods are. But I imagine he probably
does. As far as I know his diet is pretty good.

When it comes to medications, he still takes Dilantin and Lexapro.

The others have been off for at least 2 years.

Dilantin is probably causing the problem.

Thanks Mari

Because the doctor he is going to see is only in for office hours on Wednesday's and next week the time he could go is finals for his
school. He will go the 14th of September.

But that is okay we will just wait.

It's so hard to get appointments with specialists within reasonable timeframes. I just got booked for the first available appointment with my gastro at the end of October.

Over 2 weeks is long wait when you're uneasy and want answers because you're worried about your son, but you have a good attitude about it Donna :hug::hug::hug:

Ladies
He honestly has no symptoms that we know of for sure. The main
thing is an upset or uneasy stomach at times. We do know he
is choosing what he will eat. That something's are easier than
others. But that isn't new. He has always been choosey.

I have no real problem waiting the weeks. Just because we
have done so much already with no clue what is up.

And I know how important school is for him. He would have killed
his provider and me both if we had made him miss next week.

I'm so glad he has his priorities straight and is so focused :)

No overt symptoms is usually a good thing. I hope all works out well.

You are always so patient and understanding. I have no idea how you do it :hug:

Dmom3005 08-27-2016 06:32 PM

I seem calm on the outside. But sometimes I'm pulling my hair out
inside. I have been very lucky to have a good friend who does
lots of his provider services. She also coordinates lots of things
for us.

So sometimes its her that is not calm.
