Help !Need a Canadian Doctor..IgG mediated food allergies

[Guest guest]

Can anyone reccomend a good doctor in southern ontario for kids who

are becoming allergic to everything. We have had lots of IgE allergy

testing in the past but, it has only picked up milk,egg,peanuts

allergies. I'm afraid my daughter is going to have nothing left to

eat soon. She can only eat very limited fruits and veggies, now. and

meats(no fish)...a taste of most other foods gives her immediate

sore mouth(moderate...to severe), itchy lips,throat...etc. that

worsens up to a few hours ..then goes away.same thing with

eggs,nuts,yogurt...any new food(she's never ate) I try with her she

reacts to.

She is reacting to foods she was ok with in the past now, or foods

she was reacting to as a baby..Just reacted to a pear...

My son can eat eggs, yogurt and a couple more things maybe...but he

is reacting to a lot of the same foods.(not as severe for some foods)

Has anyone dealt with this? Are Dan doctors the only ones to deal

with these type of allergies?(IgG). I do have a list of Dan doctors

from Canada.

Does anyone know if they do IgG mediated food allergy testing in

Toronto at sick kids?

I appreciate if anyone had advice or info. they could share with me.

Thanks,

You could try Dr. Zoltan Rona. I've just started seeing him (as well as using

the scd), but have known of his reputation for years. He's pricy though. Info

and articles about him at this website:

Could you in turn recommend legal yogurt starters available in Ontario.

Hi Cathy,

<<Can anyone reccomend a good doctor in southern ontario for kids who

> are becoming allergic to everything>>

There is a list of SCD doctors for Ontario at

http://www.scdiet.org/8resources/doctors.html The link gives a

description of the doctor, what they do etc. Even if they do not do

allergy work specifically their offices may be able to recommend a

like-minded physician who does.

I have developed a couple of allergies in the last few years. I

broke in Hives with 'Advair' and recently had the itchy throat lips

etc.. with a specific cheese. I am okay with most other cheeses but

any cheddars that have a bit of rind/crust I get a reaction to.

Probably some kind of mold but I now carry Benadryl in my purse just

in case. I am guessing that my allergy may be related to the mold in

my house. Which I hope to deal with in the next couple of weeks. I

don't know if it helps or not but I take/eat supplements/foods that

reduce inflammation in the body. CLO with DHA and EPA, wild salmon

with skin, grass fed (antibiotic free, hormone free) meats, green tea

some herbs and spices.

Regular grain fed meats can promote an inflammatory response in the

body.

Is it possible that there is something besides foods triggering their

allergic response - especially since they are reacting to foods they

were okay with and there doesn't seem to be a pattern - a dish

detergent, cleaner etc...?

I hope to meet with an allergist in the Fall - it will be interesting

to see her take on what causes allergies.

Thanks Sheila, for your thoughts and suggestions on this .

I think these kids of mine are having some sort of pseudoallergic

response to almost everything.

It is definitely the food...not detergant of plates etc...as a banana

right from the peel(a very ripe one) is a problem now...chicken is a

problem now(she is eating turkey now).

I believe now that one reason why these kids are feeling better on

scd is that all grain was a problem too. I gave my daughter two bits

of rice...after months strict scd...and she had an extremely strong

response to it...(she is running out of things to eat!!)..

My son has had a sore mouth and/or itchy chin etc. all his life until

months in scd when I eliminated some cooked veggies.(and he was

already limited with these)

My daughter has little food choices now...she reacts to only a few

foods now..so she is eating some foods which she responds to the

least, and some raw romaine lettuce and raw cantloupe(i think she

don't respond to these)...her stomach is ok so far, but that mouth of

hers.I don't think these reactions are life threatening as I'm sure

something would of happened long ago with one of these kids...

I think scd has cleared up the acid reflex.

It would be interesting what your allergist will say...do you

actually have one that will listen? The impression i have been given

by most of the specialists I have seen is " wait till they are really

sick...then we will have to run some tests...maybe the problem will

go away...let's just wait a few more years " One doctor told me I

needed help!HA!

I have given up with them in Canada.

Thanks to 2 wonderful U.S. friends:) I have found a doctor in the

U.S. that may be able to help. Maybe he will be able to figure this

out.

I am talking to my family physican tuesday...and making an

appointment with this doctor(hopefully with his support)...I can't

wait for the doctors in Canada ...these kids are having a really hard

time dealing with these life long food limitations...they look pretty

malnourished too.My son is refusing to eat yogurt now and sometimes

he won't eat eggs...he is eating some raw fruit/veggie..and that

doesn't make him feel too well...i have given up trying to stop him...

i am just encouraging him to eat things he responds to less.

Hi Cathy,

<< It would be interesting what your allergist will say...do you

> actually have one that will listen?>>

I have to get a referral to one by my family doctor (who I will

probably get better info from - very smart lady). I live in

Newfoundland so I have limited options. My daughter had allergy

testing (scratch test) years ago and I need to do a follow up to see

if she has outgrown her antibiotic allergy.

I had a similar situation , don't see him any longer and have since

found out he isn't thought of well in the medical community.

If he does well with yogurt I'd try to encourage it because he has

healing properties.
