is your son on antivirals??

[Guest guest]

hello, my son was diagnosed by Dr. Goldberg as having an immune

dysfuntion. He is 3 1/2 yrs. old, at about 18mos. started getting

chronic ear infections, by age 2 he had stopped speaking. By age 2

and 1/2 he had the fluid from his ears sucked out and had ear tubes

put in. After that he has been more happier. He is allergic to cow's

milk which is what he was drinking at the time that he started having

ear infections. I would like to hear from other parents that may have

their chidren going through something similar. also, about the

outcomes that these treatments have, wether good or bad.

I appreciate your input.

thankyou

Hi Martha,

My son started his ear infections much earlie, about 6 m age. We did not go such

a long way as you are with tubes, but he was constantly on antibiotics, and each

cold was brining him to ear infection.

This stoped completely when I removed all dairy products from his diet. He is

gluten free as well ans soy free. No oranges and beef. Kind of pain in the

begining, but we got used to it and it is not that bad.

He is on antivirals now and makes very good progress in his ABA program. First

two weeks on Valtrex were hard, but now everything is fine. We use Famvir now

with the same good effect.

Let me know if you have

Hi Regina,

You mentioned your son doesn't eat oranges or beef. We follow the Feingold

diet so I understand the oranges, but what's with the beef?

Thanks,

Hi ,

Well, we do not follow the Feingold diet, he does not eat oranges and other

related fruits just because he is allergic to them.(and beef) We thought about

Feingold diet, but it doest not look that Simon has issues with " colors " and

frankly, he does not like any " colorfull stuff " He eats sometimes bananas and

probably one apple a day (I try to give him anyway, something yellow rather then

red). Thinking about the issue now, I realized that his diet is pretty " pale " ,

but I do not know if it helps his condition

Good luck

If they are not to have oranges, I take it that orange

juice is forbidden also. My son is on the gluetin

free diet and I have replaced those other juices and

soda with orange juice calcium fortified. Is this not

a good choice. He was lacking calcium and this was a

way of him getting it without dairy products. PLEASE

ADVISE!!!

Our 3 year old son has almost the exact same history as yours. His

first ear infection was at about 6 months ... and after that every

little sniffle turned into another one. He wound up with 19 rounds of

antibiotics in all. His decent begane right after the chicken pox at

about age 18 months.

We started him on valrex a week ago and after two days, he popped up

in bed one night with a fever and seeming very achy. We nursed him

through it using Advil for a day or so. Since then, he has had only

mild discomfort and each time we've gone to the advil again.

We've had no problem with hyper activity or chronic bad behaviour but

we have to strengthen his dose later this week.

Our son has been GFCF since January, which has made a huge difference

in his overall health and behaviour.

We had him tested and learned he is allergic to milk, which explains

a lot of what happened over his first 2.5 years.

Keep in touch as you progress.
