    New bathroom will be finished tomorrow... And will be LOTS easier to clean than the old one :) pity I'll need to clean the rest of the house too after the workmen finally leave!

    In bed... Have a pain in my tummy just above my belly button. I think it might be muscular, which is odd as I'm sure I haven't used any muscles for at least two weeks....

    Pigpen, I think the doctors are assuming it's CMA. They did the blood rast test at hospital and should be phoning with results tomorrow but they mentioned doing skin !!!!! test at rapid access clinic as well. I've also had to collect a stool sample which will go to GP tomorrow. I guess their advice that i avoid all dairy is working on the assumption that it is CMA and if symptoms don't clear up then the diagnosis will start pointing to lactose intolerance - either way it buys them time from making a full diagnosis!

    The consultant who saw DS3 said often the easiest way to tell is if baby is very very windy it is usually lactose intolerance as the bacteria in the gut react to the actose they cannot break down and cause loads of gas.. it isnt always that simple but in most cases this is an issue. DS3 was admitted through A&E when he choked on this gas which had bubbled up into his throat while he was sleeping and he stopped breathing.

    the poo is usually dark greens due to the wind/poor digestion & absorbtion/sugars still present. There are usually no solid bits just liquid poo. They check the stool sample for lactose and infection usually.. we had loads done and still the stuid MW and GP said I was making it up because I had PND .. yeah ok... we all do stuff like that!

    Either way.. you can have goats milk/cheese so you dont have to resort to milkless hot drinks and dry cereal! :D

    Evening all!

    Was at my evening job after my day job until 9, it'll be ending soon (only a summer job)

    Washed up the gibble that seems to cluster by the sink
    DW on
    Fed cats, 1 MIA but he normally turns up
    Put save a flush in toilet cistern, not sure but I think I've broken the ballcock :mad:. Went onto water meter today so that should save me some money, which therefore will go towards the plumbing costs!:rotfl:
    Worked out VAT on new boiler quote
    Then sat agoog at the rioting in ldn on BBC news
    About to SS kitchen

    Goodnight all x
