[QUOTE="kailey47, post: 529765, member: 14424"] I am hoping someone here can eleviate my fears or if not point me in the right direction for finding answers. My 5 yr old daughter has had ongoing health problems since birth, nothing overly serious but constant. At 18months she had C. Difficile, at 4 she was diagnosed with chronic giardiasis. She has severe long sightedness, suppression & severe amblyopia in her right eye, mild amblyopia in her left. She is diagnosed with sensory processing disorder (SPD) (low registration). I was of the opinion her issues/symptoms were due to food intolerences (I wanted it to be that simple to be honest) as such I got GP to do blood tests last week to see if anything has changed since we treated the giardiasis. I got her blood results back but have not yet seen her GP or Pead. The results concern me so I just need some clarity. Her Urea (BUN) is high 8.1mmol/L (a year ago it was 5.2mmol/L), her Bicarbonate is low 22mmol/L (a year ago it was the same when she had Giardisis), sodium on bottom of normal levels at 137mmol (a year ago it was 139mmol/L) everything else is within normal (including iron studies, ESR, Full blood count & TSH). Her BUN/Creatine ratio is 67:1 Her symptoms are regular (but transient) stomach distension (up to 10cm within a day) Sometimes the distension is rock hard, other times soft. She does complain of pain when it is rock hard (understandably) Rash around mouth that changes from mild to moderate has only gained 1kg in last year even though she is a large/healthy eater In last 2 years her height has moved from 50th percentile to 30th percentile (gradual) IBS Symptoms (though they don't correlate with distension) fatigued (tired even in morning after full nights sleep) headaches (always put them down to vision, but not sure) Chest pain (had assumed reflux, not sure though) Complains of general aches & pains, but can't pin point (she has a very high pain threshold normally) irritable/whinger (becoming worse) appears to have lowish muscle tone (seems weaker than other kids her age) Any advice would be appreciated Cheers [/QUOTE]
