Update on Lainey's episodes

[Guest guest]

A couple of weeks ago I posted about my daughter Lainey's episodes--

possible jaw problem, possible seizures. Well anyway we saw a dr about

it and he thinks preservatives in foods is the culprit!! When I

described the episodes to him, he thought it sounded like a classic

case of reaction to preservatives. So now I'm trying to figure out

what she eats that has preservatives--cheerios do, ritz crackers do,

most things seem to. So we'll focus on her diet for a while and see

if that stops the episodes. He said that it's VERY uncommon for a

child under age 7 to have a dislocated jaw. Something about how the

bones are shaped.

Hi ,

Wow this is a first for me! Doesn't everything except fresh fruit and

veggies have preservatives?

Thanks for the update. I was wondering how that turned out.

Hopefully you can figure out what the cause is right away so you don't

have to keep wondering. The doctor didn't tell you what not to feed

her? Aren't there different types of preservatives used in different

things. I don't know. I wish I could help. Sorry.

Hi there, This is very interesting to me, as I'm a big health food nut. I've always been concerned about what I ate, but my real fascination with it started when I was preganant and developed gestational diabetes with Sydney. In addition to minimizing carbs and sugar, I was determined to try and rule out all additives and preservatives to the greatest degree. I never felt better, my skin looked terrific and I had a lot of energy, despite being pregnant! Now that Syd's here, I only feed her organic fruits and veg (she's just started on solids) and baby cereal (oatmeal, rice). It's going to be challenging to say the least when she starts eating a wider variety of foods. If you really start to evaluate the food labels on products, you'll see that a SCARY number of things contain MSG (Doritos, Triscuits, frozen dinners, soups, salad dressing, and more). I realize that you are not

necessarily feeding these specific foods to your child, but it is indicative of what I think is a real problem. I don't know what suggestions the Dr. gave you regarding which preservatives to avoid, but there are now a lot more products advertising that they are all natural and preservative free. This is a trend that I've noticed has increased in just the past six months. There is a really good Web site that offers a guide to food additives that you may be interested in checking out. http://chemistry.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.cspinet.org/reports/chemcuisine.htm I wish you all the best with your daughter and her improved health!

Thanks! That's very interesting. I notice now that the episodes started after we added more table food to her diet, when she went beyond the baby cereal, fruits, and veggies. The problem is that most mainstream crackers and cereals have preservatives, and the organic, healthier stuff is just SO expensive! I'll look into those websites and hopefully learn more about what my family is putting into our bodies!
