I just heard back from our doctor about Mason's results from his recent bloodwork and X-rays. The bloodwork came back NEGATIVE for Celiac's disease (Yeah), but it did show an elevated level of inflamation. He wasn't too concerned about it, since ANY infection in the body could cause that to be elevated. I don't know that he has any infection, but whatever!
The X-ray showed that he has a significant amount of stool laying in his right side of his colon. At this point it is not obstructing the bowel, but it is more then should be in there. It is the cause behind all the abdominal pain that he has been having. He is going to put him on some Miralax (a mild laxitive) to try and "clean" him out and get this stool moving. If that doesn't work, then we will be referred to a GI doctor to have some more testing done.
So it seems likely that this would just be due to a "clog" in there, and once it's dislodged all will be fine. So keep praying for Mason that this doesn't turn into anything more serious, and that he will be back to normal in a few days/weeks.
so is the miralax working??? hope he is feeling back to normal!
