Bowel problems for a friend

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I had a question about bowel problems. My friend's daughter has had

bowel issues from the time she was very little. She was on all soy

formula until age 1 and then soy milk. She is currently on whole

milk. She has had all vaccines up to and including her 12 month

shots. Even though I've tried to talk her out of them. She hasn't had

her 15 and 18 month shots (as far as I know). She eats

terribly...McD's, Burger King, no veggies, etc. Which I know is a big

contributor to this. But, she recently got the flu and ended up in

the hospital for 2 days and she has been back and forth there for x-

rays, more blood tests, and continual sickness. I just got off the

phone with her and she said that they are referring her to a

specialist at Rainbow Babies (a specialty hosp. in Cleveland Ohio)

for bowel issues. As I'm talking to her, she's pulling into

Friendly's for lunch and said that after all she's been through, she

can eat whatever she wants for lunch!!! I didn't know if I should

scream or cry.

Anyway...I thought I had seen something quite some time ago about a

correlation between bowel issues and vaccines. Am I way off or is

this something that is true? We are best friends and I really feel

bad for what they have been through in the last 1 1/2 weeks. But, I

can't really tell her what I'm feeling when it comes to this. I hate

to say this but she agrees with me regarding vaccines and then she

goes and gets them anyway because her m-inlaw says to or her husband

says to. It's maddening. So, our little girls don't get together as

much as I'd like because she's been so sick and we don't let our

little one eat that kind of stuff. So, it's hard to go out and do

anything because my dd doesn't understand yet why she can't eat that

stuff yet.

Anyway...I'm done rambling but I thought if anyone would know

something about if there was a correlation between bowel problems and

vax's, it would be here.

Thanks in advance,
