The scoop on poop

(These photos have nothing to do with this post, but trust me, you don't want to see the poop photos referenced in this post)

First, it was butt strep (Liam), which involved anal bleeding.

Then it was the scariest looking diaper (Ben) of rust-colored poop I have ever seen.  We had a referral for a local GI anyway, so I called the office, and was told Ben could come in this morning, which means, we have one GI appointment, two different OT appointments, one speech appointment, and one trip to Costco....and no naps.

I brought in photos of the offensive diaper and it worried the GI, quite a bit actually.  A quick screen showed it wasn't blood, but the doctor ordered a celiac screen to rule that out.  I get to collect 3 stool samples over the next several days.  My job is so glamous; try not to be too jealous.

Ben gets to stay on Prilosec for the time being and we'll re-eavulate in 2 months.  Ben was not a fan of the anal probing and forced stool sample:

(Ben was actually crying here because he didn't want Liam taking his photo)

Liam is in a perfectly happy mood these days; because his anal probe was a few weeks ago (unlike Ben) and because he doesn't have to collect poop (unlike Mommy).

 And that is today's scoop on poop.
