Makes sense to me too.

well it makes it easier to treat, and it will give peace of mind knowing
exactly what it is you are dealing with, at least that is the way I feel in
my daughters case.

I never disagreed with the doctor on this point.

say your daughter has one or the other, but her symptoms, though unpleasant
certainly (BTDT) don't sound as if they are life-threatening.>>

They aren't life threatening and forgive me if I ever gave you or anyone on
this list that impression.   I certainly did not intend for these questions
to come across that way.

<<Diagnosis will neither make her better or make it more real.  It won't
even
help the treatment (either way, the answer is no milk in her diet).>>


I don't really know how to word this but I disagree with you,  I think it
will help her treatment in the future, obviously not now because she is so
young, and we are not testing her.


<<My advice is don't fret>>

Thanks  I'm not fretting just asking about these questions that have been on
my mind for the past 5 months.
