Re: valtrex and ulcers

[Guest guest]

,

Seizures, warts and potato sensitivity sound familiar. Seizure meds

for us were part of the problem. A trial of depakote actually seemed

to cause seizures; 1-1.5 hours after dosing. Our daughter has been

on Tegretol SR for several years. When we went gfcfsf in 2000, there

was some conflict about whether the Tegretol had casein. Two

pharmacists found a yes in their data base while the manufacturer

said no. We decided to have it compounded and that seemed to be the

final link to a pure diet. She still seizes if she gets

gluten/casein. We've reduced her med dramatically with no increase

in seizures. The seizures seem related to food and how much of an

offending item she gets. She will plug a machine at school now and

then! Our daughter does best staying close to Feingold and low

oxalate eating pattern. B12 injections produced major aggression for

her when we first tried them. Now, 2 years later, she tolerates

them. Don't know why. Combination multivits have been hard to find.

The choline, or anything bitartrate or aspartate contributes to

neuro irritability for her. As we've been chelating we've been

through a couple of years when she could not tolerate any B vits

without getting very close to seizures. Only recently, have we been

able to add them back in very low amounts. Your little one must be

very uncomfortable with the duodenal bleeding. That would be enough

to put most of us over the edge. Does anyone know if the

hydrochloride form that Valtrex uses contributes to high acid in

stomach/duodenum?
