I just wanted to let everyone know that Lacy has been doing great for a week now! We started the new batch of food with sweet potatos last Tuesday and she has eaten it well and has not been sick at all.

We can't diagnose it without a biopsy, but my guess is that she has a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I don't want to do a biopsy unless she starts getting sick again and isn't improving. But I read an article that talked about people with IBD having hepatic lipidosis so it would make sense with Lacy. It seems like it's more the GI issues with Lacy causing her symptoms that the hepatic lipidosis we think.

Thanks Meg for the info on white potatos sometimes being inflammatory. Maybe that's the case with Lacy and why she was sick. I'll keep feeding sweet potatos and see how she does.
