If you type in GASTROCROM into google, you'll find a lot more

information. Perhaps the secretary didn't spell it right when she was

trying to look it up?

Quercetin- Type that into google as well and you'll find info on it as

well. It is a supplement, non-prescription.

As for my son's reaction to the Singulair, keep in mind this was my

almost NT son... He began having horrific nightmares, far beyond

anything he's ever seen (PG and G movies). He became paranoid and

kept looking behind him as if someone were following him. He became

intensely afraid of the dark (he had never been afraid of anything

before). He became afraid of his room. He wouldn't go anywhere in

the house unless all the lights were on, even in the daytime. And he

wouldn't go anywhere alone. He followed me to the bathroom and sat on

the floor. He sat under the kitchen table while I was cooking. It

was very frightening to me to see him that way. We stopped it fairly

quickly, but the fear remained for several months and it was probably

close to a year before he would go to bed without a lamp on in his room.

I realize that his case may be very rare, but nightmares, etc are

listed in the possible side effects on the Singulair website. So, he

is not the only one.

He was taking the regular amount of Singulair for his age/weight.

Thank you for the info. Jody. I saw that the quercetin may have a

free-radical affect instead of an antioxidant effect in some cases. I wonder

in what instances this may occur? Have you ever experienced this while

giving the quercetin or any other bad side effects? How long have you been

using this for your son and was it recommended by a doc? I would much rather

stick to nutritional things that may have the same effects of the

drugs...Jenn & Kali 8 months SCD

The Singulair worked wonders for my son's asthma. That was the bad

part: I had to quit giving it and was back to square one with his asthma.

Our local (relatively speaking) doctor said that Quercetin would work

on the same pathway that the Singulair did without the nasty side effects.

I started giving it to him in early December. He has gotten sick

twice during the last 2 months, but besides the times of illness, his

cough has completely disappeared. It is definitely working to control

his asthma related cough.

We also use MSM to help with allergies.

I haven't seen any negatives while giving the Quercetin.

Hi,

I'm new here, so forgive me if this has been covered. Since

Singulair has Mannitol, a corn syrup, wouldn't it be illegal?

Yes. Sometimes though when your child needs the med. it may be best to give

it. Our singulair was prescribed in a crushable pill and doesn't have that

other junk in it. It is an adult pill but, I have to cut in half for each

dose. We definitely have one of the best Dr.'s on our side trying to keep

her away from the junk. He wants to keep her on SCD so I think he's great!

Suzanne,

Elaine always said that medical necessity supercedes remaining 100%

when it involves medication. My son was having a VERY hard time

breathing at that point in time. Oral inhaled steroids were not high

on my list of things to try. So, we tried the Singulair first. My

son swallows pills and took the tablets, which do not have corn, but

do have lactose.

After he went off the Singulair, we did resort to inhaled steroids,

but within 2 days he had thrush. So, we quit using that as well.

Anyway, sometimes there are no perfect choices and we have to make

decisions that involve options that we don't like.

Thanks, Jody. It really helps to understand how other parents have

made these tricky decisions.

I'm new to the diet and my son has many, many food allergies. He

tolerates very few foods and almost no meds or supplements. I'm in

the process of trying to figure out what we need to keep him on and

what we need to let go in order to get as close to perfect on the SCD

as we can.

I'm sure I'll have lots of posts with questions as I try to make our

decisions.
