Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Anyone experience horrible skin rash while taking paxil? My daughter has a horrible rash-little red dots and also big red blotches. Re: Snacks on Diet > - >What's the uncheese cookbook? My kids react to >soy, I am really fortunate in that my child doesn't react to soy. I imagine that it makes things a little tougher. I read a " study " (it was unpublished but presented at a conference) that showed some kids improved on the GFCF diet and they theorized that a certain percentage who didn't, might be reacting to another very common allergin- soy. The Uncheese Cookbook by Joanne Stepaniak is a pretty good book. Some of the recipes are " weird " Most of the recipes do rely on things like cashew nuts so if you are following a " no yeast diet " , it isn't a good option. I substitute Poha flakes (which is from rice) for anything that calls for oatmeal since the American Celiacs association doesn't think oatmeal safe from cross contamination. I think that if my child had issues with soy, I probably wouldn't buy the book. A certain percentage of the recipes do have tofu in them. There are, however, samples from her book on the web which might be useful to you: http://www.recipesource.com/munchies/dips-spreads/06/rec0611.html Several " mock " cheese recipes: http://www.panix.com/~nomilk/cheese1.txt I have used the mostarella cheese recipe for " pizza " by freezing it in a baggie and then grating it while frozen. It is more like that fresh mozerella you buy in real Italian markets than the stringy kind found in American grocery stores. I think that if you are a real cheese lover, you won't be happy but for my child, these recipes work - perhaps because it has been so long since he has had any " real " cheese that he doesn't know any better.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I know that it's a side effect of Gleevec, but a get a small red rash on my face that comes and goes. This time around, the rash has been here, going on 2 weeks. I never seem to have it when I go for my 6 week check ups with my Oncologist, and I'm wondering if anyone else gets this type of rash, and if so, is there anything you've used to help get rid of it faster?

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I've never had outbreaks on my face, although my doctor told me that is quite common. For a couple years there I would get them in my mouth and down my throat. Acyclovir helped, and Valtrex was even better -- which is to say, speedier. From: llomsdalen@...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'm two years into gleevec and my facial rash still comes and goes. Between the puffy eyes, weight gain and rashes -cml has been a great lesson in the reduction of vanity. I never tried to treat the rashes since they did not itch or were in any way uncomfortable...just bumpy. In the beginning it was my entire body so now I'm happy that it is usually just my face- funny how perspective changes things. Stay strong- we are all lucky to be alive.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Have the rash (or rosecea) pretty much all the time on my face. It gets better from time to time. I get a daily 'flushing' of my face. It is so red and hot strangers ask if i am ok. I told the docs at mda everytime. They said it was hormones and they don't see people on sprycel (my drug) with fever or flushing. So... This week i talked to my research trial nurse about an appointment and she said " we need you to sign the new consent form for a warning about regular flushing " .... Really? I say... Elsewhere in the world someone's doctor listened i suppose. More info to come once i see the new consent forms. Only thing that helps is drinking lots of water and cool (not cold) rags on face during flush. Cold rags will make it worse because your body will send more blood to 'warm up'.... Ugh. Kinda like ice on a burn is not good.
