return of symptoms

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheila,

Thanks for your thoughts about what we should do regarding the blood that

we're seeing. What you say makes a lot of sense. Our son has only been off the

prednisolone for about 4 weeks, and it makes sense that we may need to go back

to simpler foods while his body continues to adjust.

Do you have any sense of how long we should be more careful, or should we just

go by symptoms? We'll cut out broccoli and cauliflower and onions, and cut back

on garlic and cilantro and dill and see what happens.

This list is such a tremendous help. Thanks again!

There is no set time, so going by symptoms or lack of symptoms will

be your best guide. It can take a long time for the body to be

completely back were it was presteroids- but it depends on a large

number of factors (how long a person is on steroids, how much

healing is necessary, what foods they are eating etc..)

Please let me know in a few days how his symptoms are (either good

or bad)on list or offlist sheilat@...
