Another diagnosis for Bella

Last week we were at Hershey Hospital having tests done because of ongoing stomach issues and chest pains. Today we got the test results back and she has Gasteroparesis (delayed stomach emptying). The doctor feels that it was caused by a previous viral infection when she was younger. There is no cure but we do have a treatment plan. Bella will start on a medication she will take 4 times a day to help keep her intestines and stomach moving her food properly. We will also be doing a diet change and she will consume smaller meals throughout the day. The doctor did warn me that the medication for this condition is not very good but we will try avenue possible. Bella took the news well today and is looking forward to reducing her stomach and chest pains. I guess having JA wasn't enough for her, she needed a little more of a challenge...he he Hope you are all enjoying your summer!
