you said right here - "we are very holistic and do not take any kind of pharma..." no assumptions neccessary.
It's clear that the NATURAL medicine is not working in this situation. Honestly. You need to find a solution for your child. And being blind and refusing to use "pharma" is only going to cause your child more pain. It sounds like you're going from dr. to dr. to find one who will agree with your natural approach and are ignoring the real and true medical advice here. The only one who is suffering from it, is your child.
I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier. Mamamoogs, please hear what these people are saying. You are NOT being ganged up on, you are being told that what you are doing is not responsible by a lot of people who just want to see your daughter comfortable. There's a difference. I'm all for a natural approach but I'm kind of appalled that any natural practitioner would take the time to go through 20 remedies without seeing an improvement and allow the child to suffer without telling you to seek medical help.
It's VERY short sighted to refuse pharma. It can be life saving. It can also be palliative and useful while you pursue natural methods of healing and could create a situation where she is comfortable as you search out the underlying cause. It's not fair for her that you're refusing treatment by mainstream medicine because ONE medication didn't work (I'm hoping I read that wrong.)
Please, from someone who has not one but THREE children that suffered from digestive issues, do not take a stand here. Accept help from the GI to at least stabilize her. If you want to go looking for an alternative treatment that works more power to you. Just don't let her suffer while you do. This has gone on too long with not enough relief. It is not a failure on your part or a kink in your crunchy armour to procure and dispense medication to a child that needs it. It is, however a failure to allow a child to suffer so that you can be "holistic."
