Mystery Gastro

[walkitout]

We’ve managed to get 4 nights in a row of at least 7 hours of sleep for A. (and for me). She’s definitely in a better mood, less edgy. Also, the biena chickpea snacks that arrived were a huge hit! She likes them even better than the edamame snacks that she had told me she liked. I did warn her against eating too many because they are high in fiber. But despite the high in fiber, still having some gastro issues. Not severe — I fixed yesterday’s with a single loperamide in the morning, but we had to do that again this morning. I’d like to know what’s up. I asked her to take a lactase with her cheese sandwich (she is lactose intolerant but previously that sandwich was within her range), but she forgot. She was taking lactase with other snacks that contained dairy such as the Nonni’s biscotti. But when we looked at the expiration dates on her lactase, they are this month, so we refreshed the ones in her purse and in her lunch box and I got her permission to ask a person at her school to remind her (on top of the note in her lunchbox).

Now I’m wondering if that’s going to trigger some kind of but we need a permission slip for meds issue. Probably not, tho, and even if they do I can do that via email with this school, so there’s that.

Also, we now all three have seen A.’s weight on the scale and compared it to the number from the last two physicals. We _think_ that this is purely a result of the sleep issues, and that if we fix the sleep issues, the weight will take care of itself (and if we try to fix the weight without fixing the sleep everything will break) so at least we are all in agreement on that. Whew.

Yesterday I got a walk with B. and offspring J. I also walked with M. And I went to lunch with B and J at the Exchange Street Bistro. Their fish and chips is NOT a problem for me! Woot! Even the cole slaw is fine (I asked, and it’s the next day so I would have seen consequences if it was not).
