A place for parents and care givers of children with Gratification Disorder

Nothing New

So, we’re kind of at a stand still here. Nothing is getting any better or any worse. I still do feel that her bowel movements and her GD are connected. The GD flare ups are on days when she hasn’t  (and needs to) move her bowels. Once she does so the GD almost diminishes or goes away completely.

Either way we still ( crossing fingers ) haven’t had a really bad day in quite a while. We’re like a whole new family here because we’re actually able to enjoy our days and each other instead of having the GD run our days for us!

So, the end result for now is that we’re continuing the daily dose of Miralax (laxative - as prescribed by the Ped. GI Dr. Yes, it’s now an OTC drug). One of the wonderful women working with me has recommended a nutrionalist to see if we can’t get her bowel movements to be diet controlled. We’re waiting on a first  appointment. I’ll post with what she/he has to say.
