Guest guest Posted March 27, 1999 Report Share Posted March 27, 1999 Hi everyone, I just wanted to give a quick update on my son . He was back in the hospital this week for observation after throwing up blood again. This is the second time this month. He came home the next day feeling fine. We also got the rast test results - negative. That was very disappointing, as we were hoping for something. He doesn't show any unsual alergic reactions to anything, no vomiting, no adbomnal pain, no diahrea, no hives, ithcing etc. He seems perfectly healthy except for the damage in his esophagus. I have started keeping a diary of when he throws up, or says he has reflux etc. Maybe this will show a pattern. If we try an elemental diet, vivanex or neocate or whatever, how long do you need to be on it before the esophagus heals? We are considering this to either prove or eliminate the allergy question. And were just wondering how long our son would have to be on it to prove anything. Still not sure if this is the right thing to do since he has no allergy symptoms and has tested negative on both RAST and two skin prick tests for allergies. This is so frustrating. Beginning to think that maybe it is reflux after all. Hope everyone doing o.k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
