A little more on Cooper's enlarged colon:
I spoke with his dietitian today about his GI issues and the x-ray results. Her suggestion was to continue with the Florajen capsules (1 is equal to 10 cups of yogurt :)) once a day to promote good bacteria growth AND increase his enzymes per feeding from 3 to 3.5 for a good week or two. Then, if he STILL doesn't seem to be doing well we'll look into taking him to a GI peds specialist at the UW. Then the plan might include an abdominal scan. She thought our concern of possible surgery to correct the issue may very well be a possibility to pursue in the future.
