Over the past few days, Kaylee has presented us with a new mystery ..... the absent appetite! At the start of last week, she reduced her food consumption. This was well before Ritalin was started ... so that is ruled out. It has reached the point that she is only eating 2 bananas during the day. She then eats some tea .... but her behavior has changed .... high anxiety etc ... and the behavior returns to normal if she eats. So my theory is that the behavior change is due to hunger pangs.
The mystery remains ... why has this happened? If she is constipated, it would explain all the symptoms plus some that we hadn't connected. (We took her to the doctor recently for suspected UTI - negative - but constipation can show the same symptoms.)
So she is now on Parachoc as well!
Unfortunately, it seems that it can take as long to correct constipation as the problem has existed .... I think she's had it for at least a month .... so she has to be treated for a month also.
Later:
Well, it ain't constipation! She came home early today with a touch of 'gastro' ...... quite happy ... but filling nappies at a great rate! Perhaps the changes in behaviour prior to today have been early signs of the tummy wog.
