[QUOTE="cmdh, post: 3073, member: 2199"] Our difficult child has very similar symptoms. Her GERD was a result of food intollerances. Once we modified her diet she was off all medications - a concern of ours because we had read so much that the medications only reduce the acid -making it harder to digest food and ultimately complicating things further. She test negative via normal allergy testing to everything however has allergic type reactions to lots of foods and environmental things. They are then classified as either intolerances or sensitivities. The idea is that they are irritants but not caused by typical histamines. When a child has a damaged small intestine (from things like canadias that can burrow into the walls of the intestine) small particles of undigested food actually leak out (hence leaky gut). The body sees these as a foreign substance and sends (as I call them) blood police to go out and collect them. These police then grab them and take them someplace to get rid of them... my difficult child's asthma used to flare up and her behavior get to be out of control. These toxins cause the body to go into overdrive. It's so busy fighting these that it has a difficult time fighting normal irritants - my difficult child gets hypersensitive to anything she touches and will break out with blisters - she actually developed an allergy to the paper towels at school! Her behavior also gets out of control. Many children thrive on the girlfriend diet (as did ours) the problem is if you donât keep the leaky gut in check ANYTHING that goes in their mouth they have a chance of developing because It can leak out and the body responds to it. This is where we are now. We have already eliminated 13 major groups and are starting to see signs of additional intolerances. [/QUOTE]
