Re: Allergies?

[Guest guest]

Rick;

In response to your question below about allergies. I have noticed

that every time my daughter's test results show that she has elevated

liver enzymes she also is having trouble with food allergies. The

tests results will also show an elevated eosinofil count with her.

It was my experience previously that once we calmed down the allergic

response we were able to get her liver enzymes back to normal and

basically symptom free for almost three years.

I firmly belive that the allergies play an important role in this

disease.
