Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Hi First off you could visit http://www.drstordy.com which will have some relevant Q & As for you. She wrote 'The LCP Solution' (my bible) You can also email a question question@.... Sorry, but I've lent my copy to a friend - but her site is worth a visit anyway. Have you considered flaxoil as an alternative? There'll be a good lot of posts in this group about flax. It may also be worth searching 's SpeechDiet group. Good Luck Gin [ ] allergy/ProEFA question Hi, I'm starting to read about ProEFA, and would love to try this with my kids...but the problem is I have a severe allergy to shellfish, and the allergist advised me to avoid all fish. The kids' allergist wants me to avoid all fish for the kids as well till they are at least 3 yrs old since they've already had food allergies (eggs, squash), there is a high incidence of food allergies in my family, and based on my fish allergy. Is there anything other than fish oils that I can use that have a similar effect? And hey, I'd like to try it for myself too! Thanks so much!

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 Hi, Actually when you are allergic it is usually to the protien in the offending allergen so that even individuals who are allergic to fish should still be able to take fish oil supplements because oils should have no protein in them. Maybe you can give it a cautious try... The thread about reflux and delayed speech really caught my eye. I have always suspected that my son is speech delayed because of allergies. Reflux in babies and enlarged adenoids are common allergy signs as I understand it. I would wonder how common it is for allergic children to be speech delayed. Like the speech delay is a part of the " Brain Allergy " I read about. (sorry I forget the author) Anyone else have experience with nontraditional allergy and speech delay? It would make sense for EPAs to help with the allergy component because of their antiinflammatory abilities.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Inge, Hi! I'm Cate's mom and I put the question out there about the reflux. We just got out of the hospital today. We went in yesterday to have her adenoids out and the Dr. called from the OR and said that her tonsils were also huge and he wanted to go ahead and take those out too. Of course I let him. Everything went well but he said that her adenoids were blocking her nasal passages by 75% and that her tonsils were almost touching they were so big. I'm curious as to whether having enlarged adenoids and/or tonsils that interfere with " normal " breathing might be a possible cause of apraxia. Any thoughts on this? Happy New Year to everyone.

I have always suspected that my son is speech delayed because ............. Hi This caught my eye because my girl (4.11 verb & oral dysprax) sounds incredibly adenoidal to me. I'm not aware of her being allergic to anything (yet) but does anyone have any ideas how I might track this? Incidentally - mine were removed when I was 7 in combination with a tonsilectomy - inherited trait?

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Hi - They can't " cause " apraxia, which is a wiring problem, but they certainly could interfere with correct vocalization. I guess now that you've corrected the problem that you'll have to wait and see!! Good luck and keep us posted - Marina > Inge, > > I'm curious as to whether having enlarged adenoids and/or tonsils that > interfere with " normal " breathing might be a possible cause of apraxia.
