Hopefully it will be just that easy. Tomorrow I’m taking Ainsley for her lactose breathe test at TCH. The GI doctor wants to try this first to make sure that she truly is lactose intolerant. Fortunately all she has to do is breathe into a tube and they will measure the level of hydrogen that she exhales. This should tell us whether or not she is lactose intolerant and whether or not all of her tummy pains are due to this. It is possible. I am voting for this answer! The other answers become more complicated.
So we all joined in with her special diet tonight: chicken breast seasoned with only salt and pepper and white rice seasoned with pepper. And water. After 10pm she can consume nothing not even water until the test at 10am tomorrow. Poor dear is going to be so hungry. I feel for her.
Fortunately, Aunt Deb has graciously agreed to take the other two kids so that they don’t have to go with us to the hospital. The test will take 3 hours. It will be a long day of sitting around breathing into a tube. But when it comes to tests . . . this is an easy one.
I promised that she could have anything that she wanted for lunch tomorrow. She says that she just wants chocolate ice cream. This should make for an interesting lunch!
