Re: Growth hormone!/thanks!

--Hi Mandi,

Thank you for responding.My son has been on GF/CF diets for

years,since he was 5 and he is 13 now.Last year I started partially

leaking his diet,I started giving him goat yogurt,cheese and butter

with the support of Houston enzymes.I decided to do that because of my

fear of his poor bone development may be related with his restricted

diet.I asked this question to Shattock in a meeting,he said; " it

may be possible but it is very rare. "

4 years ago,my son had a severe gastrointestional problem in abroad,he

had severe vomitting,fever and diarrohea and lost weight.Second year

it was the same story ,this time he was hospitalized for a week in

London when we came back from our holiday.None of the doctor

identified if he had a bacteria ,parasitis...He ofcourse lost

weight,his immune system was getting poor,frequently he was getting

cold,always shivering.Third year on my holiday ,nothing happened.But

Dr H thinks that whatever he had in the past in his system..According

to his stool test he had blasto hominis parasitis and he received

treatment with paromemycin.I am not sure if he had cleared off this .

This year coming back from my holiday he looks OK so far.Since from

the first incident in abroad,he lost weight and his growth started to

going down.He hardly put anyweight in the last six months and he

growths only 2cm in a year!

At present he is on the high protein intake and extra Calojen(

combination of oils) which were given by Royal Free dietician and he

will be reviewed in September.

Despite he is well eating and supplements,amino acids..something is

wrong,I strongly believe..

His thyroid panel was OK.His metal test results were very rare

according to Dr H,he seems he is not having any toxic metals

particularly lead and mercury despite DMSA challenge test.

I am thinking to put him on the test again with the French lab,once

again general blood test and check his thyroid function.It will be

good to do Comprenehsinve stool analysis but I am not sure if we can

do it.

Thank you for your interest.I will let you know if I receive different

opinions about the growth issue from other groups.

Warmly,all the best

nevin
