Guest guest Posted September 17, 2001 Report Share Posted September 17, 2001 You didn't say what foods are causing the problem? And you said that they did not repeat when tested alone? I mean, one of my friends became allergic to these 3 that often go together at about age 35. legumes dairy shellfish Ring any bells? Another friend found herself allergic to iodine (seafood) about age 37 or so. And my ex suddenly became allergic to penicillin at age 35. Interesting, yes?

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2001 Report Share Posted October 7, 2001 Hi I just wanted to say that my son Adam (9 years old on Tuesday) does not suffer from any allergies. But then again, allergies do not run in my family nor his father's. I think our children tend to suffer the common childhood problems (asthma, ear infections, allergies) in addition to their RSS and we are always wondering if there is some kind of a connection. My son has a lazy eye, but I never thought to examine if that was related to the RSS as my sister had one and one of Adam's paternal aunts also did. But I do sympathize with your struggles with your doctor. We seem to continually fight on so many fronts when it comes to our children's health that it can be so discouraging. Try as hard as you can to find an alternate doctor who treats childhood allergies, but I'm sure you are doing that already.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Fred, In talking about conventional allergy tests you said, " ...but typically conventional allergists do not check IgA, IgM, IgD, and IgG, and more importantly the IgG subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4). " My daughter was treated for hypogammaglobulinemia when she was a toddler because these tests *were* done and disclosed that her total IgG was low because of a very low IgG4 reading. She was treated with I.V. gammaglobulin for nearly a year, and her IgG levels have tested normal ever since. This treatment did help her to not get standard infections as severely as she had in the past - ear infections had turned her so lethargic that meningitis was suspected and a bad cold caught from another toddler turned into pneumonia - but did not cure her minor " allergy " symptoms. She has since grown out of them, most noticeably the constant sinus drainage, but that didn't happen until just a couple of years ago, as her Eustachian tubes and other " plumbing " matured. And no allergies were ever diagnosed by *any* of the testing that was performed - invasive/non-invasive, conventional/nonconventional. I just wanted to mention this as I didn't want anyone misunderstanding the tests you mentioned. Ig or T cell and B cell lymphocytes testing is testing of the immune system function and not testing for specific allergies, and treating immune system problems is not a " cure-all " for allergy-like symptoms. I agree with , that the dark circles under the eyes are often noticed just because they are underweight, just like the blood veins show more then. My daughters' dark circles and prominent blood veins in her head " disappeared " after she was put on Periactin & picked up more body fat. Other non-RSS kids who are thin (like kids with cancer who are having chemo) also have the dark circles, but don't have allergies.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Fred, I have to agree with Chris. I just got off the phone with two immunologists, Dr. Song and Dr. Ghodsi Madani. Both stated that the tests you mentioned all have nothing to do with allergies - they are immune system tests (with the exception of the subclass IgG4 test, which is currently in dispute over whether or not it is related to allergies). Both stated that a person with severe allergies, both food and other, can test 100% normal on these tests. (In fact, I am one of those persons. I have a severe allergy to grass, moderate allergies to dust mites, dog and some foods -and yet I tested within the normal range for all of the Ig tests you mentioned below). You are correct that a child should get these tests run if that person is fatigued, and/or continually is getting infections, etc. But dark circles under the eyes and common allergy symptoms would not normally warrant getting these tests being run - unless the person was also having sinus infections, throat infections or other immunological responses that indicated a possible problem with their immune system. > > > " Fred " - Don't forget that virtually all RSS children who are=20 > > > underweight have some type of darker circles under their eyes.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Hi Inga, The periactin did *nothing* to relieve the sinus drainage. The circles were less noticible as Charissa gained weight - the more weight she put on the less the circles showed. This was easy to " prove " as she was part of a study on the effects of Periactin & was on it 6 months then off it for the next 6 months & we had to chart everything. Periactin may be an antihistimine, but it works much better as an appetite stimulate than an antihistimine!

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Hi , Thanks for your response. I can respect what your conventional doctors have to say; this is the standard " in the box " type of response that was drilled into them since medical school. Some conventionally trained doctors who have taken the best approaches from both the conventional and alternative medicine tend to be more open-minded. These are the types of doctors I have principally relied on. I am sure we could debate back and forth both trying to play doctor, but I think this would be a disservice to this list and possibly dangerous. Instead, may I recommend that you first educate yourself more about alternative medicine and then a subsequent conversation for the whole list would be more meaningful. May I suggest reading an excellent book, " Road to Immunity " by Bock, MD. This book can be found in most of the larger chain bookstores or ordered for only $14 (ISBN: 0-671-54507-8). For that matter, I strongly recommend that everyone read this book. It will be worth the time for yourself and the health of your child. For everyone on this list serve to have a better understanding of alternative medicine, maybe it would be best to create a direct dialogue with a competent alternative practitioner, rather than using this cumbersome written forum. Why not have an alternative doctor speak at the next Magic Convention in July. I would be happy to try and make arrangements. Not only could allergies be discussed but also include other subjects such as nutrition. I am sure this would be of interest to many people since the past speakers only have conventional background. Since you mentioned the distinct possibility of expanding the Convention, there assuredly be time for an alternative doctor to present. What do you think ? Lastly, perhaps you misinterpreted what I said about Ig classes other than IgE, I made no mention about allergic reactions with these other classes, I just stated that conventional medicine typically do not test them. The two conventional doctors that you spoke with mentioned that there currently is a dispute in medicine as to whether or not the IgG4 is related to allergies. The doctors I deal with believe that IgG4 is related to allergies and many times, not always, helps them in identifying allergies. This typically is a major area of contention between the conventional and alternative worlds. Additionally, my doctors will perform other tests that I am sure conventional medicine is not overly familiar with. I would not dispute that you personally tested in the " normal range " although you have allergies. Did your doctors ever perform the ELISA/ACT test (not the ELISA test)? To gain greater insight into these issues I again recommend that you read " Road to Immunity " . Look forward to hearing from you.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Hi Your doctor should be commended for doing the broader array of Ig tests and not stop with IgE. You mentioned that no allergies were diagnosed with testing even though your daughter still had minor allergy symptoms. I am curious what tests were performed on your daughter to identify allergies. You commented that Ig testing is only useful for identifying immune function and not specific allergies. As the conventional doctors that mentioned consulting with in her posting today, there is currently a dispute in medicine as to whether or not IgG4 is related to allergies. My doctors happen to believe that IgG4 is related to allergies and many times, not always, helps them in identifying allergies. If you are interested in understanding this subject matter further, I suggest that you read, the " Road to Immunity " by Bock, MD. This book addresses many of the issues you raised. It can be found in most of the larger chain bookstores or ordered for only $14 (ISBN: 0-671-54507-8).

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 Fred, The doctor who ran the extensive immune function tests was an infectious disease specialist at a major teaching hospital. When the testing was done it was standard protocol for this doctor to perform these tests on patients with the type of severe infection history that my daughter had. I don't have a list of all the other tests that were performed as the initial testing began over 16 years and several major moves ago. But she had testing done with conventional doctors as well as some alternative practioners. (My daughter just turned 17.) I don't have copies of all her medical reports, and as it is I have a 4 inch thick file. As I mentioned before, my daughter completed a year of gammaglobulin injections. She has had several subsequent Ig and T cell and B cell lymphocytes testings that always came back with normal readings. There may or may not be a correlation between IgG4 deficiencies and allergies, but when my daughter's readings became normal she still had sinus drainage & ear infection problems, though the infections were not nearly as severe as before. The gammaglobulin treatment did not get rid of the mucus problem, it just helped build up her immune system so her body could fight off the infection better when the secretions couldn't drain. And as I mentioned, she no longer has the mucus problem. It seemed to gradually lessen as she neared her adult size. I don’t believe this would be the case if it was allergy related. In the past 17 years we have lived in every type of climate and metropolitan area the U.S. has - everything from the Los Angeles area to a remote village in Alaska. None of the areas we have lived caused a drastic change in symptoms. We have pets, one house we lived in had a severe mildew problem, her diet has not changed, yet her allergy symptoms gradually lessened and are now gone. That is why we believe that the problem ceased when her Eustachian tubes and other " plumbing " matured enough to function adequately. I will check out the book, I'm always open to gathering information & making informed decisions. I do believe that many people have allergies, and that the symptoms are varied and treatable - I have a food additive allergy myself. But from our experience, all allergy-like symptoms were not allergy related.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 Hi Fred, Could you tell me more about this Magic Convention in July? Is it for all RSS parents and if so how do you register? I just finished reading the various messages about allergies over the past few months and found some interesting information. Thanks for the suggestions. In addition, I just ordered a copy of the book you mentioned, " Road to Immunity " . I am curious about your allergist's approach. You mentioned the use of acupuncture points in testing. For myself I have turned to holistic medicine to help treat my allergies with excellent results. My doctor uses something called Muscle Resistance Testing (MRT) which evaluates the level of muscles weakening when exposed to various allergens. I believe this also has something to do with acupuncture. Is this related to what your doctor uses?

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2001 Report Share Posted November 15, 2001 Hi , As you can see I am far behind on my emails, but the dark circles under the eyes can be signs of something as small as the lack of fat in the face, allergies, to even malnutrition. Dark circles also show up in lack of sleep. Dark circles under the eyes do not automatically mean allergies. Just my 2 cents.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I use nettle (from the stinging nettle plant) as a natural antihistamine, and have for some years. As long as the capsules don’t have illegals added I wouldn’t see it being a problem. I still take it, and I have no problem with it re: my digestion (I have Crohn’s). Like other herbs and natural remedies, some people don’t respond to it much, and some not at all. But many do. I do, and I find it very helpful for drying up the sinuses re: allergies. But also like some other herbs, it takes a few days or even a week to get into your system so that you’ll feel effects. So if you try it don’t expect instant or near instant relief like you would get with a pharmaceutical antihistamine. Once it’s in your system, it doesn’t take long to respond to it, even if you haven’t taken it in a little while. Nettle is available from a bunch of different companies. Look for capsules that have no bad additives re: SCD. Also, some brands use the nettle leafs, some the roots, some a combination of the two. I’m not sure if one or the other is better. I’ve used all three preparations but don’t recall there being a difference re: effectiveness. BTW, it’s also available in liquid form (and in alcohol-free liquid form). Check out www.luckyvitamin.com, e.g., search “nettle” and you’ll see numerous brands/types, with their capsule or other ingredients listed. n From: BTVC-SCD [mailto:BTVC-SCD ] On Behalf Of ppshake Sent: Friday, May 01, 2009 1:28 AM To: BTVC-SCD Subject: allergies We are deep into pollen season and my dd is suffering terribly from allergies.

I'm at least 75% better this Spring then I was last year. I still have a little drainage, but rarely itch.
