Styes for Ellie

[Guest guest]

Hi. My daughter Sam has had styes since she was 2 years old. As a

matter of fact I can not remember a time she has not had them from

from the time she was 2.

Initially I followed all the doctors instructions about hot soaks,

the antibiotic ointment. We have two surgeries for drainage and

incisions. They never went away. They always get worse in the

winter and shortly in July.

As I started to read more about Autism. Sam was diagnosed after age

2 in the spring. I suspect she had some physical allergies. When I

brought this up with my eye doctor and our ped. They almost

snickered.

Yet she continued to get worse. I really started the diet - out of

concern for her eyes because the stye was starting to scar.

Sam is a very picky eater and before the trouble with speech - her

eating habits and bowel habits always concerned me. I could never

get anyone to take me seriously.

Since the diet her eyes look to most people almost normal. She has

one stye ( chalazion) which is flesh color and about the size of

small pea. In the past BD ( before the diet) these were inflamed

red, about the size of a penny or a dime and it was not usually - she

would have more than 1 on 1 eye.

I suspect she has other food allergies and maybe some environment

ones. and probabily some immune thing.

I am searching for a " good " DAN doc to help. I am going to get the

DAN MD manual and see if my ped will follow it since I can now

demostrate some improvements. If I can not I will try and get

consult with some DAN docs in Fla. I have heard good things about

them.

Right now I keep Sam on the diet, do SNT and TMg vits, do twice a day

baby shampoo washes and antibiotic ointment.

I am going to go back to eye MD and see what he thinks

Are you on the diet?

Let me know if I can help

Good luck

I have heard that styes can be a sign of being low in B vitamins. Just a

thought.
