Hi - for those who use or who have used glutathione cream - does anyone know of a brand that does not have the glutathione derived from aspergillus mold? We had some compounded and I didn't ask what it was made from. My son is very neuro-allergic to aspergillus and this has set him back a bit. Used it for about 5 days before I called the compounding pharmacy...

Hi - I've really been trying to find something re: this topic in the archives and while I'm learning a lot about histamine - I'm not find the answer to this question: My son (4 years old) had some intradermal allergy testing recently. The reaction to the histamine injection was huge - weal was about 4-5 mm and the redness around the weal was about 4...

Rachel, I'm sorry. I posted that last post re: compounding your meds - and then saw that I was replying to a message from 2006! Feeling a little silly right now... Katie

Hi Rachel - I have no idea if this is even possible with your thyroid meds...but can they be compounded? A compounding pharmacist may be able to make the meds without any corn ingredients.

Hi - I'm not finding a lot of scientific study-type articles on allergies/intolerances that cause behavioral changes in children. Am I not looking in the right place or not using the right search terms? If anyone has any good references, I'd love to see them. Thanks. Katie

Rachel, Thank you for sharing your info! Your story is the first that sounds much like my son. I'd never heard of allergic reactions being manifested as neurological issues (and neither has his allergist or regular pediatrician) before I saw it in my son, and it still took 4.5 years for the real reason to be revealed to us. May I ask, what type...

Hi - My 4 year old son had two Celiac blood panels come back normal, 1 normal RAST IgE blood test and a normal genetic Celiac panel...normal for Celiac, that is. Upon further review from an HLA expert, it was further interpreted as a genetic profile for gluten intolerance (DQ2 & DQ6). He has since had an allergist perform skin testing for all foods...

Hi - I'm still trying to navigate my way through this new world of multiple allergies and gut repair for my 4.5 year old. I have a question: re: environmental & food allergies - does anyone else here who themselves or have a child whose allergies manifest themselves through neurologic sensory dysfunction and ADD/ADHD type behaviors (forgive me if...

Hi - I've posted on the "Parent with Children" topic link in the past as we've known my 4 year old son is gluten intolerant for about 17 weeks now. But 2 days ago we had some allergy skin testing performed and he indicated for wheat, milk, soy, eggs, peanut and most of the molds. We already knew about the peanut as he had a mild anaphylactic reaction to...

Hi - it's been a long time since I've posted anything, but we think we may be beginning to see the first benefits of being gluten-free with my 4 year old son (whom I need to mention has severe verbal apraxia and is completely non-verbal). It was 11 weeks this past Tuesday and this week has been amazing. He has begun to initiate going to the potty (he has...

Oh wow, I've never heard of Bell & Evans! We don't have a Whole Foods nearby but I should be able to find it at the places we do have. I'm so new to this and my son is such a picky eater. We did a trial gluten-free diet for a very short period (before we had labs to back up our suspicions), but gave up because he wouldn't eat. This time we have labs...

Yes! any recipes you are willing to send, I'll take. Thank you for the offer. Looks like you can chose to send me an email off online. Please feel free to do so.

I'm brand new here, but our GI said doing a biopsy is like "taking a cup of water from the ocean". You go in there blindly and take the sample and you may or may not end up with a sample from a damaged area. He seems to be the opposite of your doctor - he thinks clinical response to a gluten-free diet is good enough evidence that my son should remain off...

Hi - new here. My 4 yr old son was just this week dx with gluten sensitivity with the genetic profile for celiac disease. He has the symptoms and we need to begin the gluten-free diet. He is a very picky eater. I need to find a chicken nugget product that he will eat and he has already rejected Wellshire Farms Dino Bites and Ian's brands. I saw a brand...
