Rast testing

[Guest guest]

Dan would get food stuck in his esophagus from time to time. When that

happened he was in severe pain and on two occasions he aspirated the food

into his lungs. A very scary situation. When food was stuck he could not

pass even saliva. We would have to go to the hospital and they would start

by IV a muscle relaxant.

Get copies of all his tests. Forget the skin testing. Get more Rast testing

done. The problem is with the proteins in foods. Start keeping track of what

he eats and try to correlate it with any symptoms, problems or pain. We had

all Dan's biopsies sent to The Mayo Clinic to a Dr that has treated and

written papers on IEE. The results just came in this week. And the diagnosis

of IEE was confirmed.

Dan had more Rast testing this week. To me the solution now is to heal his

esophagus. I am working diligently to get all traces of peanuts out of his

diet.

If anyone is looking for a site to get info on the different IGE panels

that can be run or info on which foods to test try...

Also wanted to say that we finally got back the pathology report from

the Mayo Clinic which confirms the IEE diagnosis. Nothing new to add,

but at least we can be sure.
