Guest guest Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Zlatko, Zlatko Will you never learn. You think that you are the most clever of all humans that everyone else is beneath you and you look on them in contempt. We the group members offer help, advice and support to others and it is up to the individual member if they wish to act on what is offered by others through kindness. Achalasia is such a rare disease that it is difficult to find someone who lives local to where you live to talk face to face about the disease. This is one reason why there are so many of us sufferers visiting the Achalasia Group. What we don't need is someone who writes sarcastic and nasty posts on this group that members find upsetting. I for one and I am sure that there are many others feel that your comments are offensive. Please remember this when you next decide to post on this group. ________________________________ From: Zlatko Mateljan <zlatko_mateljan@...> achalasia Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 1:48:43 AM Subject: connecting the dots Notan wrote>No wonder we looked stupid.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 They are in one way or another connected for her. It is something that happened during fetal development. My son has the same ( web toes on both feet) as well as infections etc. I would say the GERD and constipation are partly due to the antibiotics and the lack of good bacteria( probiotics) in the gut as well as the low IGA on the lining of the gut. SO yes they are related. These are common findings with Immune deficiencies. BARBIE From: <_Janes@ excite.com> Subject: Connecting the Dots groups (DOT) com Date: Saturday, August 1, 2009, 3:44 PM I don't really know how to ask this question, so I'll just explain the best I can. , age 4, has chronic sinusitis (2 surgeries already - one revealed antibiotic-resistan t strep), GERD, chronic constipation, low-normal IgA and IgG levels (which, with history, has her immunologist looking into immune problems), environmental allergies to cats and mold, food sensitivities to milk, eggs, and wheat, and possible food allergies to wheat, corn, shrimp, chocolate, and pecans. She is also mildly farsighted and has 2-3 toe syndactyly on both feet, although no one in either family can ever remember anyone having syndactyly before. (It has always been dismissed by the ped as a " hereditary thing " that doesn't really mean anything, but that puzzles me since no one else has it.) I guess I'm just wondering if there is any syndrome or disorder that would connect the dots of all/most of these issues and sort of " explain " things for us. Can you really have this many different things going on and them all be unrelated? Just wondering, I guess.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thank you, Anne. No, we haven't ever seen a geneticist or genetics counselor regarding her issues. It's definitely something to think about, though (and see if insurance will cover!).

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thank you for your response, Barbie. I have her on milk-free probiotics, but I honestly don't know how much it helps. It doesn't hurt, though, with all the antibiotics she has taken/takes! It was only recently that I realized that IgA lines the digestive tract, something I found very interesting. Her last colonoscopy showed lymphonodular hyperplasia throughout her colon, although biopsies were " normal " . Very interesting! Hopefully, we will get the dots " connected " soon and get her feeling better. Right now, I feel like we're just throwing possible solutions at symptoms, but nothing's sticking. Maybe the immunologist will be the one to " connect the dots.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Lymphoid hyperplasia is commonly seen in CVID. Our daughter Macey turned up with it last October in her terminal ileum. Her biopsies showed it too though so it might be in a progressive state. She was born with CVID, also has Diabetes Insipidus (an autoimmune variant), narcolepsy, GERD and has a history of Kidney reflux. Also she has hypermobility (Ehlers Danlos type 6). She has worn glasses since she was 4 from a strabismus that is still worsening. She has poor nerve function in her colon and has had a cecostomy tube for enemas due to chronic constipation. We've also tried botox to her colon but no success. SHe is diagnosed now with a CVID-variant of Crohn's. We've had two doctors tell us the DI and PID might be related but nothing else. She is 14 now and before she gets old enough to even consider child bearing we will meet with a geneticist just to make sure nothing is going to get passed on. Her father and grandmother have CVID so they have determined her type is most likely hereditary but there isn't enough research in the area right now to pinpoint where the mutation is. So PID wise if she has children it will be a crap shoot. Ursula Holleman mom to (16) and Macey (14) www.caringbridge.org/visit/maceyholleman ..

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thank you for the information! I'm sorry to hear about Macey's issues. It's interesting that the doctors think only two are connected. Hmm...definitely lots to think about, and it looks like this is a great place to throw out some ideas and see what everyone thinks. Thanks for sharing the journey! Mom to Cami (6) and (4) has low-normal IgA and IgG levels, chronic sinusitis, GERD, chronic constipation, food intolerances to milk, eggs, and wheat, environmental allergies, and possible food allergies > > > Lymphoid hyperplasia is commonly seen in CVID.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 my son had the same at 3 and 4 with bloody stools starting at 3 months old. HE was unable to drink ANY formula on the market including Nurtramigen or Pregestimil. I finally found that I could make him a formula out of goats milk and he did very well. And he was on it for several years. From what you have said so far an immunologist should be able to connect the dots for you.
