Re: Food coming out of her ears... Anyone experienced this?

[Guest guest]

Christian-

This may top all of the crazy CHARGE things I've heard of!! As I think

about anatomy, if the ear drums are perforated or have PE tubes, can food

travel thru the Eustachian tubes into the ear canal?? I'm not sure. I know

all of those parts are connected, but the path the food would have to travel

is something I'm not sure about. You've got my curiosity up tho! Can't

wait to hear from someone who knows. I sure hope it's not an indication of

a big problem.

Christian,

I would recommend an ENT (ear, nose and throat specialist) consultation as

well. She may have some abnormality in her eustachian tubes (the tubes that

drain from the middle ear into the throat), resulting in backflow of food into

her ears.

Also are you sure it's chocolate pudding? Sometimes drainage in some

children is dark brown.

[Guest guest]

Positive. Whatever she eats... out it comes the same exact color. The

reason we've missed what was happening was that she mostly eats food that

are yellowish in color, which looks a lot like drainage.

already scheduled. We've also consulted a second and third (very good

specialist, but he's four hours away, so we don't see him often).

Thanks for the advice,

Just curious if your daughter still has her adenoids and tonsils?

Somethings getting those things out helps with proper drainage/flow

for the ears. I think that that large tonsils and adenoids are common

in CHARGE.

Adenoids can and do often grow back--so I'm sure your ENT will check

that out. If they grew back for her, she most likely will need them

out again and then her tonsils coming out may help too. Good luck!
