How old were your kids when they got G tubes? will freak out if he needs a tube at his age espically along with everyting else he has going on. dosn't really have symptoms, but his endos are getting worse.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 1999 Report Share Posted June 8, 1999 Cathy, with our kids, the first treatment was high dose prednisone. Worked great but awful side effects. Many, many kids with EE are responding to Flonase taken orally. Now, our kids are responding to complete elemental diet via GTubes. Not sure how long this will continue. My oldest is doing great right now with virtually no symptoms and not being treated. However, I am 35 and still have symptoms if I try to eat. steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 1999 Report Share Posted June 8, 1999 My kids on tubes are 11, 7, 4 and 2. Weve all gotten our tubes this year. If the prednisone works and your son does have EE, you should DEFINITELY try Flonase therapy. It has been PROVEN to work in a couple of studies. Cromolyn has had some help for EG but NOT for EE. You may also want to consider an elemental diet. steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 1999 Report Share Posted June 9, 1999 Steph: Can you please point me in the direction of the studies re: flonase. Our ped G.I. has had us on the pred. and wasn't familiar with the use of flonase. Right now we are only on cromolyn, but I think we are kind of borderline and I now we may get back on. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 1999 Report Share Posted June 10, 1999 Pete, Cant believe any peds GI is not aware of the studies wtih Flonase. Do you have a FAX #? Also the hospital in Colorado (Jewish CHildrens) has tons of EE kids and ANY doc there can clue your doc in on this treatment. STeph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 Why when you are eating this woe and then go off do you gain weight so quickly. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, because normally you would not gain 2-3 lbs. in just a few days. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 Robin, Sometimes that happens, there is no reason I don't think, it happens to me to sometimes, and others I don't gain a thing. I just stick with it and eventually I see the loss on the scales Hugs Penny---Ohio 173/158/130 Goal for Oct 31st-----155 List Moderator http://members.xoom.com/Shadcat708/LC.html http://www.geocities.com/shadcat708/The__Home.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 1999 Report Share Posted October 13, 1999 << Do any of you feel bloated on this diet? I am losing but my stomach feels bloated...Thanks >> Sorry, not much time but I would suggest that you read the section on yeast infections in Dr. Atkins book. It may be helpful. I had yeast problems(in my intestines) this time around and had to use a product from GNC to kill it. I am just starting to feel better.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 1999 Report Share Posted October 13, 1999 << Teena what product from gnc for yeast.....acidopholous?....Jean >> It is called Yeast Fighter by Twin Lab. It has 75 capsules for about 14.00. It has garlic, caprylic acid, acidophilus, and psyllium husks. These are all suggested by Dr. Atkins to fight yeast. If you have an infection it may take a bit to get rid of it. Avoid cheese and the other foods that Atkins suggests. I am right now eating a majority of meats, hardly any cheese and some veggies. I am drinking lots of water and it is helping me feel better. Hope you feel better! Teena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
