Yes he is on soy yogurt. I want to start him on vitiams but  forget to ask dr when he's really sick, and then others are too busy and change the subject - yes i need a good dr !!! Thats why I came back to this site. The other thing is that I hear that other kids his age get blood tests for things and he has never had one. he had the allergy test but thats it. I'm afriad that he is not getting the right nurtients, although i feed him home cooked food etc but he has food refusal issues. But having big chubby cheeks doesn't help, they think he must be fine and are shocked when he gets on the scales !!  At his 18 month check I will ask more questions and hope they spend the time. I have had tests as i am really low in iron and have irritable bowel and eat like him but without the food allergies.

I think I will just head to the chemist tomorrow and see what they say to what kiddie vitiams might be suitable. Beacuse it can only help !!

Blood tests on kids under 2 *can* be unreliable. Some kids will test negative and then around age 5 get tested again per the daily syptoms and then test positive.

Most DR will opt to go by symptoms and if they see a lessening of symptoms then they know what ever they are doing is working.

Yes, I'd find a really good DR and go from there. Most of them will have you eliminate all the TOP allergens and get the excema under control. then slowly add one food at a time.

I suggest doing the scope on the O.R. because many times excema or food allergies can be being caused by an underlying medical issue.

I hope the DRs appt going well when you get one.
