We took Andie to the doc today for her first appointment since the colonoscopy. She does indeed have Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Ulcerative Colitis, to be specific), but it is now in remission. What we have to do now is make sure to keep it in remission. The main dietary precaution the doctor recommended was to cut out as much refined sugar as possible. My little sweet tooth girl did not take this very well, but she will adjust.... Dr. has her on anti inflammatory pills and a probiotic, as well as her iron and aloe vera juice. She will maintain this regimen for three months and we will return to dr. to see if she is all fixed. I am just happy to know what the heck was wrong! She was quite sick, and I think preventing another flare up will become numero uno priority around here!! Thanks for all your prayers and concern. We appreciate it!!

Poor kid! What a relief to know what it is, so you can focus on fixing it. I hope she will feel much better and have no more problems!
