Well, we seem to have found a solution to all of this little monkey's problems :)! Jonathan has 3 different issues that are causing his diapers to be so horrible and him constantly getting sores in his throat...
1. He has acid reflux! Who knew?!? Actually, I asked our pediatrician about this last spring, but she ruled it out (we have since changed pediatricians, not just for this reason but it certainly supported our decision). We are starting a prescription for this 2x's per day...
2. His body doesn't breakdown/tolerate whey (or any other dairy product, however he doesn't intake any other dairy related enzymes due to his allergy). He now takes an over the counter lactose chewable pill with every meal...
3. His pancreas is inflamed and doesn't make the right amount of enzymes that helps the body breakdown/digest food. He is taking a prescription for this before every meal as well...
We are thrilled to have a diagnosis and are thankful that they are relatively easy to "fix". Jonathan should outgrow these problems and we are looking forward to our break in drives to/from Columbia for a few months. We go back in February to evaluate how things are going unless we don't see more change before then. We truly PRAISE THE LORD for protecting Jonathan as we pushed to find answers, allowing him to thrive even though his body was not absorbing nutrients and essential vitamins. We have seen God's protection and confirmation as we questioned how strongly we needed to push the doctors and not take "he'll be fine" for an answer. We are thankful for the doctors that did push for further testing and the need for an answer... we have seen God work in all of this and to have a diagnosis is certainly a burden lifted from our shoulders. Thank you for praying and being concerned for our little man. We know God has great things planned for his (HEALTHY) life!!!

Love that little monkey:)!!!! PRAISE GOD for HIS WILL in Jon Jon's life.
Such a relief for you! I can totally sympathize (on a much smaller scale). Preston constantly puked up whole bottles/gagged on anything starting around 6 months until about 8 months and all the doctors waved me off like an overly paranoid mother. Until I found one that would listen and it turned out he had acid reflux and was allergic to milk. A prescription and change in formula was all it took after months of that! He's since grown out of it, but it was a couple few months so I feel for you and know how totally excited you are! I learned that you are your child's advocate and even though Doctors are very smart people, they don't know your child like you do!
Enjoy your meals!!! ;)
