Re: Distended belly and weight gain

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I don't know if this will be of help, but, I have now found out that my daughter

had a vascular insult at a very early age and one professional has suggested

that this has lead to damage to her pituitary gland, particularly the anterior

lobe which is now small.

As a baby after 6 weeks or so when she had suspected meningitis, she droppped

off the height charts, but, ballooned on the weight charts. All through her

life, apart from 3 years between 6-8yrs, she has put weight on and is classed as

obese, particularly truncal obesity with a very distended belly.

I now know that there has been a hormone involvement since around the time of

the vascular insult.

The problem is getting the NHS to recognise it and getting them to treat it.

They are too frightened to treat my daughter now even though she is 13.5years

and her female development is 7 years behind. I am not sure what to suggest. I

suspect that you are right that there is a hormone involvement with this child -

this could be sugggested to the paediatrician and see if they will run some

tests. Diabetes insipidous would be as a result of a pituitary issue. Could they

do a MRI Scan of the pituitary? Have they ever done a scan?

Hope that they get some help.

Hi ,

My daughter is 15 yrs old , she is also quite tubby around her trunk. Her

periods have been very sparse and infrequent and she is also hirstuism. We saw

the Gp who felt she could have polycystic ovarian syndrome. She has had her

hormones checkedand apparently they are normal, so she has been referred to an

endocrinologist. I'll let you know if anything comes of it.

Hi ,

I hope that the family get to the bottom of this.

My daughter is currently doing very well thank you - no thanks to the NHS

though! I have had to take things into my own hands.

In August we saw an Endocrinologist who just confirmed what I already know i.e.

she is in early puberty at most - no hormones given. In September we saw a

neurologist who prescribed my daughter Amytriptyline for the severe daily

headaches she was experiencing. She hasn't taken any as I knew that this was a

hormonal headache. Since this appointment my daughter does not have the

headaches any more, neither does she wake up with puffy fingers and stiffness

all over, she now has energy that she has never had before, her social skills

and eye contact have improved dramatically and she has started to lose weight.

The transformation has been dramatic and it is all down to appropriate(6

different ones) hormone replacement which the NHS won't do!

Hi Sharon,

Sorry to hear this. My daughter is not going into puberty at all - ovaries are

the size of a 6 year old and she is 13.5. A private Professor in Endocrinology

diagnosed Gonadotrophin Deficiency - the NHS will have none of it!

I do hope that you get some help with this - you might need to look outside the

NHS and the system to get anything done. Have you looked at iodine for PCOS, I

have read alot about how this helps. Also a good book to read is 'The Safe Uses

of Cortisol' by McK Jefferies - there is some very interesting material

in there about using small, physiologic dosages of cortisol, oestrogen and

thyroid for PCOS.

It will be worth getting all of the test results togther with the reference

ranges to see just where within those ranges your daughter's hormone levels are

- they may be right at the bottom for example.

I look forward to hearing how you get on.

Hi ,

I will look into iodine,as her diet is low in this. I supplement with some kelp

but I don't know how much she should be having.

I'll also look into the book you recommend.

many thanks

Hi ,

I will look into iodine,as her diet is low in this. I supplement with some kelp

but I don't know how much she should be having.

I'll also look into the book you recommend.

many thanks

Sharon

That is brilliant news!

Was that with the help of the private doctor? Has the constipation

improved too?

Hi ,

I hope that the family get to the bottom of this.

My daughter is currently doing very well thank you - no

thanks to the NHS though! I have had to take things into

my own hands.

In August we saw an Endocrinologist who just confirmed

what I already know i.e. she is in early puberty at most -

no hormones given. In September we saw a neurologist who

prescribed my daughter Amytriptyline for the severe daily

headaches she was experiencing. She hasn't taken any as I

knew that this was a hormonal headache. Since this

appointment my daughter does not have the headaches any

more, neither does she wake up with puffy fingers and

stiffness all over, she now has energy that she has never

had before, her social skills and eye contact have

improved dramatically and she has started to lose weight.

The transformation has been dramatic and it is all down to

appropriate(6 different ones) hormone replacement which

the NHS won't do!

Hi Sharon,

It might be worth joining the iodine yahoo group for advice on which iodine to

take and how much - I know that kelp tablets will not be supplying enough

iodine. My daughter takes 50mg a day - this is in the form of one large tablet

of Iodoral.

Hi ,

is doing well at the moment. I have taken him off all

supplements, re introduced mag citrate (was causing major problems

with low blood pressure and passing out when we were on such high

doses of oxyp), increased digestive enzymes massively(caused die

off), using diatom.E (caused die off)...also doing well on NP. We

are down to 2 oxy p (were on regular doses of between 5 and 7). My

mum squealed with delight the other day saying that was the first

real conversation she has ever had with him! Others have noticed

this too. He is much more calm and I have not been attacked for

quite a while now.

I was going to get in touch with you as I am hoping to see

Dr.Peatfield and wanted your advise about the best tests to have

done before going. I really need to get to the bottom of his

temperature fluctuations (vary by up to 2 degrees in a day - hot

head every 2 hours). I think you mentioned a saliva test - he won't

do blood tests. I know I need to to the morning basal temperature

but it is proving tricky as once he is awake he just wants to get up

and won't lie still for 10 minutes!

xx

Hi ,

Isn't it just - I can't quite believe it myself!

Dr Goyal is trying to help - he keeps writing to the

endocrinologist about her low cortisol levels, but, he

doesn't yet feel that he can prescribe it!

I've done alot of reading and research and started my own

treatment plan - we then saw Dr Peatfield on Saturday to

see what he thought - he was very impressed and he is

going to help me monitor Vicky. He made it clear though

that I must keep quiet about what I was doing as I would

probably get locked up.

The constipation has improved as well as many, many other

problems.

How are things?

Thanks ,

I need to read up and look into this. It is great to hear how well your daughter

is doing now she has the right supplements her body needs.

Would I need further testing to know how much iodine she needs or is there a

standard amount for age and weight?
