I'm not a doc, but has anyone thought of cystic fibrosis ? This certainly
sounds like some endocrine disorder. I don't understand why the docs are
ignoring the chronic constipation. A breastfed child, under normal
circumstances, will not be constipated. This child needs to be hospitalized for
a workup and mom needs to be referred for counseling with a qualified
therapist once the cause of this baby's symptoms has been identified. Mom is
a trooper and my heart goes out to her, but she needs to find a pediatrician
who will listen to her when she advocates for her child instead of pointing the
finger of blame.
