acute mesenteric adenitis

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I am a bit aware of what this is. Just not familiar with it. My daughter (10)

was once again taken to ER a couple of weeks ago. She had been getting sick

again. This time though it brought back horrible memories for all of us, from

when we were in our sick home. But, I could tell it wasn't the same. As after

5 years I have figured out what her symptoms are after being exposed again.

So, after much arguing with the attending doctor to get a CAT scan done on her

stomach area-I had finally succeeded after 7 years. We would see if there was

something wrong with her appendix. (that's what I was afraid was wrong & didn't

want to wait for a miss diagnosis) Well anyway, the results came back and she

has this mesenteric adenitis. (swollen and enlarged lymph nodes around her

internal organs in her belly area) That is what is causing her problems with her

stomach.

So, I figured maybe some others were diagnosed with this after exposure. Her

diet has been extremely modified. (by me-because I know what makes her sick)

So, now we have to go see this specialist (surgeon) to monitor the condition. I

want to know as much as I can. The feeling I have is kind of like when we found

out we had mold. NOT A CLUE!!!! I feel like I have to know everything about it,

before taking her there. So, I figured maybe some you had been diagnosed with

this, or maybe knew someone who had. Just so I would have extra knowledge

before going in blind about it as I am now.

I know what the first thougt from many of you will be, as it was mine too. She

is not being exposed to mold at school, home, or grandmas house. Which is where

she spends 95% of her time. We know these are safe.

Also, I have been hearing alot about milk thistle from all of you. I have to

research it more. But, wondered if it might help. They have the tea at health

food store, and she loves tea. (can't take pills)

It is hard to give her much of anything, as it all makes her sick. We finally

got her a multi-vitamin with enzymes in it,(liquid) which she has taken for 3

days now, and she has not gotten sick. This after about 15 different vitamins.

Thank you all for your time.
