Guest guest Posted September 20, 1999 Report Share Posted September 20, 1999 Alyssa was just put on flovent Wednesday, she hates the taste, so it is a battle to get her to take it does any one have any ideas to help her with this. How long does it take for the the effects of prednisone to get out of the system? Alyssa has been off for 3 wks but she keeps getting infections. this is the 2 on in 2 wks. she now has bronchitis, which could be from getting sick and small amounts getting in her lungs. or not. what else can we do to keep her from getting sick. She already doesn't go around school age kids or kids from day care, no major kiddy places? is there any thing we can do? thanks Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 23, 1999 Report Share Posted December 23, 1999 Hi Dan has tried Flovent twice and it was not successful for him. I doubt we will try it again unless we mix the the fluctazone with corn syrup or something he can swallow that will coat the entire esophagus. The elimination diet has to be the most difficult thing we had tried to date. I would not recommend it. He has lost over 15 pounds in 4 weeks and has dark circles under his eyes. It has made him sicker than when we did nothing. I am waiting to hear back on the Latex allergy test and IgG antibody tests. Whether or not his endoscopy his good or bad we are not continuing with the elimination diet. If he tests positive for Latex we will remove everything and also remove all the cross reactive foods. The latex allergy makes sense for us since most of his attacks have happened at restaurants that used latex gloves. He has also had problems with bananas. He does not feel any better on this elimination diet and has complained about the food still going down the same old slow craggy way.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 1999 Report Share Posted December 24, 1999 Jen He was skin and rast tested many times. The only thing that had a slight reaction was peanuts.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2000 Report Share Posted January 16, 2000 , I was just wondering: When Dan tried the flovent did he swallow the puffs, or did you ever try it mixed with oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2000 Report Share Posted January 17, 2000 Steph We tried Flovent twice and part of the problem is the administration of the product. I also believe that it should be used after you eat or drink anything. We are still deciding what to do. The last few months have been hard on Dan and I want him to " chill out " abit and have whatever he wants to eat for a while.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Hi Carla, I am so glad to read how well Dallas is doing. In our experience, Flovent does not effect my daughter's energy level. She doesn't become any more active on it, and only coughier off. What does make a difference is ventolin or albuterol which makes her manic when she's on it and merely hyper when off. All the best.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Traci is on Flovent and I don't notice any side effects. She is tall for her age, no hair, good energy level. Lynette Mom to Traci 7w/cf and 11w/ocf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
