William's Health as a NewBorn

William was a very happy baby until he reached 2 months. He was hospitalized for abdomen pain, constipation, frequent reflux, low weight and constant crying. Doctors had a scan done for his abdomen/intestines and it came clear. Blood, urine and stool tests came back normal as well. We were sent home.

Five months, dozens of visits to our family doctor and seven(7) different milk brands later, a new doctor found out our little William was
lactose intolerant. WOOHOO, we had a diagnostic and we could do something about it. He was put on Prosobee (soy formula) and he no longer had a hard time with his digestion. (You'll understand later why I talk about this... it leads us to a first symptom of autism which we did not know anything about)
