Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hi, I'm having problems with my daughter with excessive ear wax. She gets it so bad that it affects her hearing. She is 9 years with down syndrome with celiac disease. She eats alot of dairy and corn tortillas. Could this be the problem? The Ears, nose and throat doctor wants to dig it out every 3 months but I want to find the root of the problem. I should also mention that she has a perforated hole in her right ear and a tube in her left ear. Does anyone have any advice on what to use to keep the ear wax down or what to do about it. Thanks in advice, Heckard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else heard this? My daughter has had this buildup also but doesn't tolerate many supps right now. I think the Houston enzymes might be helping with the wax-- her constant runny nose stopped and she's generally better--haven't looked in her ears lately but before it was obvious by her irritability and tugging.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 For my daughter I see it with increased milk products. She can handle her 1/4 milk on her cereal and the little bit in a fast food chocolate shake (4 times/week) but anymore and I see wax occurring. She just started drinking more (about 4-6 cans vs 2 cans/week) Pediasure and I've been seeing the wax reappear after months of none. Best Wishes!

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 I have had a couple of clients with an allergy to kapok, the foam stuffing in soft toys and cushions. Worth considering or emotionally it is the bodies way of not wanting to hear negative comments or arguements! excessive ear wax Hi, I'm having problems with my daughter with excessive ear wax.
