My little girl has some of her test results back from her initial visit to GI. I was quite confident she did not have any constipation, but an abdominal x-ray showed otherwise. The GI had told me kids sometimes have "hidden constipation," and apparently she does. He recommended she start Miralax.
All the labs are normal, but most of the Basic Metab. panel have results that are exactly on a limit. For instance, potassium is 4.7 (with 4.7 the upper limit of normal); chloride is 106 (107 is the upper limit of normal); carbon dioxide blood is 25 (upper limit is 26); and creatinine is .52 (where the lower limit of normal is .52).
I'm concerned that so many results are right on the border. Any thoughts or experiences?
Her intense nausea has finally transformed into vomiting. I cannot wait to get the scopes done, so hopefully, we can start some sort of treatment.
