Re: Dawn- Food (from Darla)

[Guest guest]

Wow! This sounds just like Asenath. She never had a formed BM until just a couple months ago when we put her on steroids. Even the G-tube didn't make a difference for her. It was the strangest thing to see her always have diarrhea and mushy BM's for the first three and a half years of her life. I hadn't considered allergies that allergies could be the cause and NO doctors ever suggested what the problem could be. I talked to multiple doctors about the issue and no-one took it seriously. And why the steroids have helped I don't know other than she eats a little more by mouth since being on it. What specific things is Molly allergic to and what tests did you run to find out? I do have a son who did allergy testing at an allergist and takes the bi-weekly shots and meds to help him because he has had asthma, stuffed up nose constantly, and his eyes always were bruised and swollen from his rubbing. We found out he has some types of food allergies but he is 15 and we only realized recently from the doctor about them. Darla: mommy to Asenath Re: Food sensitivities??? Mito related??? Darla, Molly has never in 2 1/2 yrs. had a normal bowel movement. Always mushy. The thing that I suspected the most was vit deficiencies because when I started her on pediasure to make sure she was getting proper nutrition, her bms became more formed, though very dark and thick. Gross huh? It was just a blood test they ran, pretty easy. Now the thing for me is to find out what came first, the sensitivity, or is this mito related. Every mito doc has a different opinion on this...on everything it seems. DawnPlease contact mito-owner with any problems or questions.
