I have spent countless hours online looking into so many problems and worrying about what could possibly be making Stella's tummy so upset. I am happy to say that after visiting with the doctor (who listened a lot and was truly a wonderful doctor), we have a course of action and 3 steps to follow to figure this thing out.
First things first, Stella is going to stop the Prevacid--it was showing no real benefit and is probably limiting her digestion. Next, I am adding a pre-digested protein (called Eo28, sounds yummy huh?) to her diet and after a few days we should know if her tummy can tolerate this addition. If so the next step would be to add in meat proteins and go on from there.
If this doesn't work the doctor will put Stella on a prescription enzyme to aid in digestion, then lastly a scope and biopsies of her esophagus and stomach to diagnose what could possibly be some scary things. I am hoping it doesn't come to that.
I will keep everyone posted!

Good luck! I hope this gets figured out quickly for both of your sakes.
I'm glad you have a course of action and can finally hopefully come up with some answers and hopefully a relitively easy fix :) good luck!
I'm glad you liked your doctor-that's so important-especially in a specialist-and hopefully this will work for you! by the way I don't know about cheesecake factory for next week-my mom may be coming down but i should know for sure by the end of the week!
I'm glad you got in earlier. I ran into your mom last night and she told me a bit about tbd appt. I hope things go well and she doesn't have to go through lots of tests.
I am so glad you got in. Hopefully the diet of very bland food and sleepless night is almost over!
Hope things go well for you! I have been thinking of you and hoping they can do what is best for Stella!!
