Guest guest Posted April 27, 1999 Report Share Posted April 27, 1999 I agree, even though BJ had oxygen probs, I think they are the cause of his asthma, not his EG. My dad and I both have terrible tummies although neither of us have gone through extensive testing, I think it is genetic. Dawn Sferrazza wrote: > > > Both my boys were C section.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 1999 Report Share Posted April 27, 1999 Hi there; I have five boys and non other then has eosinophilic gastroenteritisenteritis. The GI doc said that evenso has no asthma, it was asthma related and he did inherited it from his father who is very asthmatic. I also had one boy born with oxygen deprivation and he is the most healthy brat of all. Also only my oldest has a touch of asthma and its ussually gets bad when he has a growth spurt. Right now he is 6'4 " tall and still growing. Go figure I think shit happens. thats all Beatrix Mom to 6 total HD TPN G tube esiophilic gastroenteritis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure am curious now. Pete >> We have two girls - the first, c-section, with a perfect APGAR score at birth has no problems. The second, also c-section, was slightly blue at birth (lower APGAR), but bounced right back at the second APGAR to perfect. She is the one with EG. Who knows? Ed W.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 1999 Report Share Posted April 30, 1999 A lot of the kids on the list had breathing difficulties at birth. My daughter, AJ, swallowed the meconium, stopped breathing in utero and then stopped breathing during every feeding for a while. She has reflux and was aspirating into her lungs and would turn the prettiest shade of purple. She still has reflux but stopped having the apnea and aspirating for the most part at about 5 months. Hope this helps. phyllis Mom to AJ--12/22/95, EG, asthma, reflux, and many food allergies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 1999 Report Share Posted April 30, 1999 I think that this is just a hunch that someone on the list had and wanted to find out about if anybody else had.
