Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 , Excuse me,I had to laugh about the gastrocrom clearing up the fog...I wonder if it could help my poor daddy...Serious now, he has always had stomach problems, along with ezcema, like me..But since his heart by pass surgery years ago, sometimes he just does not think and seems in a fog...I'm going to check into this..And since Jackie sent that last group of imfo, it seems that I was right to think that my ezcema IS a form of urticaria..Guess they think if you have an allergy, you have some form..And with as long as I have had mine, and all my allergies as a child, its no wonder...If you can explain a little more about THE FOG, I would appreciate it..His goes along with the heart surgery, they know that...But they do not know what causes it..But with his stomach problems I am wondering...Just 5 more days and Ty will be here..I just can't wait...Take care Rita > Hi Ann, I hope Jackie answered all your questions, I give Alena hers when I > start fixing supper.
