I have been trying to work out what is wrong with my 4yo dd for a while now. As a baby she was lactose and soya intolerant although she had blood tests and had grown out of it at about 2yo. She has always been incredibly tired, sleeps 12hrs a night and can still have a long nap in day. She has the most horrendoues tantrums about everything. She eats plenty although her diet is quite limited I try to keep it as balanced as possible. She will not eat a meal and states after 2 mouth fulls that she can't eat any more or she will be sick.
I have taken her off dairy about 4 days ago although there has been no chnge yet, first time round it was immediate. I do not want to keep her off dairy for long as she is very underweight.
Anyway I have been reading another thread on here and it could be us. I have also wondered whether there is something behavioural, although i know really that there isn't. Would it be worth trying to exclud4e wheat and gluten, how long would you do this for, would you put her bcak on dairy first and a million other questions that I hope someone can help me with. I would rather not put her through tests again as I remember them being very traumatic, I will if needed but if I can sort this out without then that is better. The other possibility I have thought of is aneamia. Please Help.
