I would tell them that if they are not willing to give a yes/no answer withregard to your son's allergies that you'll file a report of the adverseeffect with the FDA directly. The manufacturer is supposed to forward allreports of potential adverse effects to the FDA anyway, but I think it mightstill make a difference with the way they handle your concern.On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 11:48 PM, Dolan <jtdolan05yahoo (DOT) com> wrote:> Thank you for forwarding my e-mail to your friend.

you can call MedWatch and file a report on anything, you don't need proof. Example, if Zyrtec gave you a headache, you can contact MedWatch and they have to report it............. I found a woman with mouth cancer from Aquafresh toothpaste in my Miralax adverse reactions, it was put in the wrong file OR it had peg in it and ended up there............... If everyone contacted them about their side affects, we as consumers would know a lot more, MedWatch needs to be as widespread and well known as the Amber alert, but who even knows the number for that? If they keep everything at arms length, who would know to call....................they call us the smartest country? If I were president.................LOL!deanna gentry wrote: Deanna,Fort Worth, TexasMom to Cody age 10, Dx: EE, Food Allergies (elimination diet: rye, wheat, soy, and beef), Env.
