food allergies increasing

Hi everyone,

I ordered Houston enzymes and am reading 's book while

I wait. My daughter and I (28 month old, nursing) are on a limited

rotation diet but she is still getting allergic rashes on bottom--I

feel like soon we're going to die of starvation. Will the enzymes

help? Anyone been down this road and have a ray of hope to

offer me? I don't want to add tons of things back in, I just want

enough to eat. GFCF or SCF sounds like a banquet in paradise

to me. All Lucy's play revolves around food. She sits at her table

with an empty plate and says " yes, please " over and over when

it's really bad.

Thanks,

Lots of people have been in your shoes-my own daughter's diet grew

very limited, but not to the great extent you describe. Enzymes do

help many, many children with this exact problem. Does your daughter

have problems with yeast overgrowth? The rashes could be caused by

yeast. We tried the gfcf diet because I saw it as a non invasive no

fail sort of thing-very wrong in our case. My daughter did not make

any great strides with it and I would have simply dropped it if I

could, but once you eliminate the foods its impossible to reintroduce

them without a negative reaction most of the time. My daughter did

not get rashes, but she would have severe behavioral reactions along

with loose stools, sleep disturbances, etc. As you describe, my

daughter became intollerent of more and more foods (intollerent-not

allergic-has your daughter been tested for actual food allergies?)

We started the enzymes and dumped the diet over 2 years ago and my

daughter (10) is doing great. There were still a few foods that

would bother her with enzymes, but we have even added back most of

those now. She also eats a much more diverse diet and has gained to

a healthy weight. I hope these enzymes are the answer for your

daughter. Best of luck-let us know how it goes!

, Thanks for your reply. On her CDSA she showed no

yeast or pathogen or neg. bacteria overgrowth, just lower than

normal benef. bacteria, small ph prob., and a couple other

things. Doc was suprised results were as good as they were

because she is so allergic. Her stools are solid with lots of

undigested food.

The rash comes and goes. She eats or drinks something she's

allergic to and gets redness from contact of urine or stool and it

fades quickly. (Was much worse before we figured out what

foods were triggers). I haven't done allergy testing because I

read it's not altogether conclusive and she's now eating so few

foods not sure worth expense (elisa act) although I haven't ruled

it out altogether.

Am looking forward to arrival of enzymes.

Yes, I remember those days of panic! We went through what you are

experiencing. I was doing a rotation diet and quickly running out of

things to rotate. I remember driving across town in a frantic search

to buy mung bean starch, for heaven's sake!

Enzymes helped my son tolerate almost all of the dozens of foods I

had removed. I still try to avoid a few things such as artificials

and peanut butter, but even those are better tolerated now than they

were.

If you decide to try enzymes, give your child some time to adjust to

the enzymes before you add back any foods. When you add back foods,

do it with one food at a time in case you need to pin down a reaction.
