When we got back from Ethiopia and took Sophie for her first medical checks, we were told it looked like she had giardia. Or as my friend at work, who had it once as a kid, calls it...
Beaver fever! Ha!
So we gave her medication and her symptoms seemed to be getting better, but not always. After fiddling around with what we fed her, we started to suspect she was lactose intolerant. That can apparently be caused by beaver fever, but I guess lactose intolerance is fairly common amoung Ethiopians, for whatever reason. So after cutting out anything dairy, we finally were getting a lot more of this...
in these...
Today, Paige decided to test the theory and give her a yogurt...
The sweet smell being the confirmation of the theory, not the effects. So yeah... lactose intolerance. Poor kid... missing out on heaven in a cup.
And in other related news, Levi and Noah have been working their way through a stomach bug the last two days. Their life pretty much consists of this...
And then repeat again, ten minutes later. Poor little sunken eyed kids...
