about 3 months ago he did blood work she was so white, he suspected milk anemia, i suspected an ulcer, but the test was ok. she went in 3 weeks ago for bronchitis and ear infection. no she has not met with a nutrisionist. they looked for bacteria that would lead to an ulcer, they did not look in depth when she went in 3 months ago

1. Has she lost more weight since this last visit 3 months ago?

2. Have you taken her to any specialists other than her primary pediatrician?

Thanks, Gloria
