We live in SA and recently travelled to the royal childrens hospital in Vic to have my daughter assessed as the SA drs and specialists couldnt work out what was happening with her. She was marked a medical mystery here and her specialist wiped his hands of her saying everything was diet related. She was put through tests here that included a 4 day diet of rice only- no formula and fasted for tests that were not only inaccurate for her age level but also impossible. In just 1 trip to the Royal childrens hospital they had worked out what was wrong with her. She did not have all these so called allergies an intolerances but in fact a condition called Toddler Diahorrea, she was also found to have sleep apneoa and tracheolaryngomalaecia. We also found out that she could have an airway surgery to secure her airway so she could come off the thickener and go on the reflux meds she requires and we could recommence dairy and all these other foods that she wasnt allowed to have here. Her quality of life since has been amazing. She is now loving food, drinking her bottles and no longer getting dehydrated.

They also seen my son whilst at the appointment for Winter and recognised he was pale so they asked to assess him even though it wasnt his appointment. They found he was severly anaemic and requested bloods to which we found out his blood count was low, he had high potassium levels and yes was severly anaemic. All of which hadnt been picked up in SA when he went to the SA Hospital 2 days prior.
