Loving Abbey 2
Not really a Newbie
Hi everyone,
I was on here a long time ago as LovingAbbey, but couldn't log in again. So I'm back with a problem of course!
Here's the short version of a very long situation:
From birth difficult child had digestive issues (but gained weight and grew). Colic with nursing, continued with soy formula, etc. Around toddlerhood, chronic ear infections until on claritin--with return of symptoms whenever it was d/c'd. Eczema in winter and on skin with contact from acidic foods. Age 4 testing through Naturopath indicated the food allgeries below via a blood test. Change in diet relieved digestive issues, mild improvment in bx, and lessened eczema. Age 6 sinus infections started with some relief from Singular. Age 8-sinus infections increasing again, relief from an increase in Singular and d/c of claritin. Age 8 digestive issues resurface-consitpation and diarrha, encopresis, intense stomach pains, etc. GI doctor resolved bowel movement issues, except for stomach pain, which are real pains. New Allergiest does an updated blood allergy testing for food and environmental. All screens for celiacs, Crohns, food and environmental allergies come back negative.
Neither doctor can account for symptoms. GI doctor said maybe her immune system is "confused" is has a mild reaction to those things. Neither can suggest any treatment or diagnosis, or even another type of doctor to go to. Needless to say I'm very frustrated!
Does anyone have any ideas of something that looks like allergies but it not? Or a type of doctor that may be able to help sort this out?
