So in the last 24 hours, I've talked to friends with kids with immune issues, a new neighbor friend that we stumbled upon our kids' gut issues, and the local Wal-Mart checkout lady. You know the world is coming to an end when you are dispensing probiotic advice to the Wal-Mart checkout lady who starts the conversation by looking at all your gluten free groceries and talks about her son with ADHD and her own OCD. Oh, that does not include the apparant half a dozen conversations I have had in the last 24 hours on Facebook and my middle child who woke up with a stomach virus this morning. Ha!
Once upon a time I knew talking about poop and bowels and constipation was a conversation taboo. Then my husband went into urology where young men getting shot in the you-know-where was a weekly occurrence. Then we had 3 kids with chronic diarrhea and, well, I think I've lost the ability to do what is socially correct. Because, apparently, it comes up whether or not I'm even trying to talk about it.
SO! Currently I have children that need me (Lucas, currently saying "Mommy?! It's a really big poop!"), but I will try to post next what our journey has been, and where we are now.
Meanwhile, post what you've tried, what your questions are, etc! I'd love to have conversations about it, share what we've learned, and learn new tips from you all! And then we don't have to gross everyone else out on FB! :D
