We will have to make sure we read all the labels even more on his foods. Looks like his cousin is getting a lot of foods from us! Now I just have to get grandpa not to accidentally give him things he shouldn't. :/ My dad doesn't always think before he offers things to N. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finally-have-some-answers#post-1587840 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 04:41:57 +0000 Cherrybee 1587840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: It does sound a bit out there!! :happy: At the end of the day, the tests didn't hurt him and it's not like you have refused conventional treatment in favour of something that has not been proven.At this point, like you, I would be willing to try anything! Let's see how he reacts to the new diet - it will blow my mind if the nappy rash clears up (and I will be delighted for you of course!). Even if its some sort of placebo effect or total co-incidence, if the rash disappears it has been successful in my mind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finally-have-some-answers#post-1587839 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 04:41:02 +0000 MrsRcCar 1587839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: thank you! I hope so too. Rash be gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finally-have-some-answers#post-1587834 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 04:31:07 +0000 Pumuckl 1587834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: Hope this is the answer you're looking for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finally-have-some-answers#post-1587830 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 04:22:02 +0000 MrsRcCar 1587830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: She had me put my left arm out and hold vials containing the allergen in my right hand. She then would have me not let her push my left arm down ( yes I am aware this sounds corny and crazy). I am highly allergic to pecans and almonds so she picked a few out from the case and we began the process. She had picked cashews, pecans, almonds, and peanuts. She didn't tell me what was what; it was amazing to see the weakness my body showed. She confirmed that I am actually allergic to tree nuts regardless of what any other allergy test has said.<br /> When we did N's testing, I placed my right hand on his head and placed my left arm out to the side. She would hand him vials to hold and see how he reacted similar to my testing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finally-have-some-answers#post-1587825 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 03:53:38 +0000 Cherrybee 1587825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: I really, really hope this is the answer you need! </p> <p>So how did they do the testing then? How did your body react to the known allergens? I've never heard of anything like this and I'm fascinated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finally-have-some-answers#post-1587710 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 22:31:21 +0000 MrsRcCar 1587710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: we have our fingers crossed that the rash goes away and stays away! However Dh fed N homemade waffles for breakfast this morning so we still have some rash to conquer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finally-have-some-answers#post-1587532 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 20:18:57 +0000 sorrycharlie 1587532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope that's the answer you need and they his rash goes away!!

I know the whole idea sounds loony. My heart just breaks every time the rash flairs up really bad. :sad: The doctor, DH and myself all hit it off really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finally-have-some-answers#post-1587427 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 19:39:59 +0000 MsLipGloss 1587427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hopefully this is the answer you need! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finally-have-some-answers#post-1587401 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 19:30:12 +0000 MrsRcCar 1587401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since December we have been battling diaper rash on N. We have tried everything under the sun and it seems more under control as long as he recieves no dairy. </p> <p>In March we met with a new ped (which we love btw). We talked at length about our concerns and agreed that an allergy blood test was the best way to rule out problems. We took N to get his blood drawn for milk, eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts. All came back with no reaction. Good right? Except that the rash was still appearing and lessening but never fully going away. </p> <p>I was chatting with a young women who works at the establishment my fathers company contracts to. She was asking me for advice on where she could find gluten free foods for her daughter. (Shopping for gluten free foods in my area is hard, our choices are pretty slim to none) I inquired on how they discovered the gluten problem (among other issues) and she told me about this chiro out a little ways from my house that does bio-feedback testing. She gave me the number and I made an appointment. I was at my wits end, I just want his diaper rash to fully clear. What could it hurt? Plus we would only be out $35. </p> <p>Today was our appointment. We arrived early to make sure I could get any paperwork out of the way and get N comfortable with the office. Man was their office busy! Our appointment time came and went but the office staff was very accomadating so we didn't mind waiting. Once we were shown to a room the Chiro walked in and we discussed our concerns. She explained how they would check for food allergies using muscle (Bio) feedback. She showed us first how it worked by testing me against my known allergies. She then did the same testing on N. It was so simple and non-invasive. </p> <p>The end result, N's body does in fact react to Dairy and gluten (!!). The iGe and iGa tests that we had done didn't show any of these things. We finally have some concrete answers as to the cause of his diaper rash (Fingers crossed) We had been avoiding dairy already but gluten is new to us, although I had an idea it maybe an issue. ( I am gluten free, dairy free, and Egg Free) . </p> <p>Congrats if you got to the end! I am glad a stuck to my gut feelings about N's health. :heart: </p>
