A while back I had posted about Ben's tummy troubles. He was experiencing chronic diarrhea for months. We had tried restricting or eliminating his milk, juices, oats, and wheat all in order to find out what was giving him trouble. We had taken him to a gastroenterologist after taking him to his pediatrician with no results. The pediatric gastroenterologist took a stool sample and it came back with C Diff bacteria (naturally occuring, but can overgrow with the use of antibiotics). Months passed with him taking medication to reverse this action and his diarrhea continued. This last time going, he came back negative for C Diff, but the diarrhea still persisted. Better, but still occuring. I am pleased to be able to say that for the last week, he has been regular! No more runs! I have not been able to bring myself to give him any milk or juice yet. I'm afraid his system is still sensitive. He seems to feel much better as well. I think he had a lot of cramping at times with his diarrhea that would make him very cranky.
