My sons dairy allergy and egg allergy has been reduced as expected we thought he would grow out of it although he does not drink cows milk he still prefers soy. Not much cheese or other unless in baked goods.
JD has had 3 scopes with dr Avi Lemberg in Randwick. He is very good. He is not convinced the dairy had anything to do with reflux although pedi dr freelander said that 3% of persistent reflux is caused by dairy allergies. It was this that he decided to do blood tests which confirmed this as did skin ***** tests. The fact that his reflux seems to have gone and scars indicate the burns and ulcers have healed. The ceoliacs is most likely what is causing him to loose nutrients and not eat. His villys in his gastro tract are very small.
I have no idea what they will do after his next blood test in 5 months, but guessing another scope and biopsy. I just want a plan so I can move forward and help him!
mrs thomo, I'm confused! If 2 x blood tests and a biopsy show Coeliac, why is this not being addressed for 5 months? And why have you not been advised to give him a gluten free diet? A lot of damage can be done in five months!
