Fiber Anyone?

We saw the GI dr this morning.  We are going to add a daily fiber supplement to his diet and see if that will help regulate his lower system.  His reflux continues to respond wonderfully to the Prevacid/Zantac combination. We will continue to log his bowel movements, and will now log his daily diet, as well. 

We go back in 2 months to look over his logs and see how he responds to the fiber supplement.  He lost about a pound over the course of this month.  It raised some concerns, but it's nothing emergent since he is still okay on the growth charts.  His weight will be a prime area of focus on the next visit. 

Since I have been home and Alex can eat/sleep as he needs, his temperament and behavior are much improved.  He is definitely feeling better day to day, and when he isn't feeling well, we can just take it easy.  So things are a bit calmer for Alex right now.
