Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 hello again, So i found out my niece has candida problems rated 9 out of 10 as done by the vega testing at her nat path's office. My sister is just struggling to cope. Alyssa is 6 and is very hyper and went on a round of antibiotics in the last 6 months which may have set this off... (or made it worse) .. anyways... they avoid known allegens like milk etc... but no fruit for 3 weeks!!! That's hard to do even for me!! And they she (mom) sends her to day camp at some places and spends time explaining to the people that Alyssa cannot have cookies, crackers, milk, candy etc etc... just veggies and rice crisps and nuts (no peanuts) that comes with her. Despite that people seem to " forget " or not care and feed her coke or fishy crackers or a cookie. Meanwhile poor Alyssa wakes up in the middle of the night in pain with headaches and stomach cramps and bloating.. (where I used to be :-( ) I figure at least my sister is doing the right thing and helping her now rather than letting her get worse like some of us later in life. Any words of wisdom or tips for my struggling sister?? I will forward them to her .... and encourage her to join this group... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Speaking of allergies to peanuts. I was thinking about it a few months ago how when I was growing up, I'm only 38 LOL, no one ever had allergies & even if one kid did, it was to milk or something, certainly NOT peanuts. Since you are such an informed group : ) what are your thoughts on why only one generation later & many generations after everyone else's, there are soooo many kids that can't be around a peanut. I have my own theories, but I'm wondering what others have to say. Take care Re: 6 year old with Candida I cannot believe the camp could be so careless about the allery thing.. Some allergic kids would go into anaphalitc (spelling?) shock over one single peanut! That involves and ambulance and the ER. First of all this info should be added to the health record they keep on each kid, I know I filled out tons of paperwork for my 6 year old to go to day camp, including the immunization records from the doctor's office. I would insisit on speaking to the camp director over this, and threaten to switch camps if they can't handle it - getting a full refund in the process. Hopefully just the threat would make them understand how important this is. Oh - and a doctor' note wouldn't hurt too. This is serious business, Rose wrote: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 A lot of the problems bought on by our poor diets get carried on from us to our children. More children have allergies because more children are born with candidas infections and poor immune systems. Less mothers breastfeed now and a lot of the proper immune system building occure during breast feeding. Also, a woman in poor health with a lot of toxins in her milk will not help her growing infant. A lot of people have anaphylactic response or allergy to peanuts because they have a special mold called aflatoxin that grows on them (do a google search on peanuts mold to learn more) that is toxic to humans.. peanuts aren't even a nut, they are a legume. I personally don't eat them anymore after learning that. *8-) --- <@...> wrote: > Speaking of allergies to peanuts. > > I was thinking about it a few months ago how when I > was growing up, I'm only 38 LOL, no one ever had > allergies & even if one kid did, it was to milk or > something, certainly NOT peanuts. > > Since you are such an informed group : ) what are > your thoughts on why only one generation later & > many generations after everyone else's, there are > soooo many kids that can't be around a peanut. > > I have my own theories, but I'm wondering what > others have to say. > > Take care > > > > > > > > > Re: 6 year old with Candida > > > I cannot believe the camp could be so careless > about the allery thing.. > Some allergic kids would go into anaphalitc > (spelling?) shock over one > single peanut!

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Thanks to everyone who has given me their povs on this matter. I'd have to say it's probably the breast milk as that's the only thing that makes sense to me although, I was never breast fed & I have little to no allergies. I think I'm going to start taking a poll on how many kids who are allergic to peanuts have not been breast fed.
