Thanks Koe
I did mention it to dh and he's not supportive of it
. I know the price factor is a big thing but we've had no experience first or second hand IRL with homeopathic or naturopathic types of healing. And I have to respect that where this is his child too. Thanks for the info and I'll keep it on the back burner in case we exhaust all other avenues (I hope not) and we get the chance to revisit it.
But I am happy to report that since taking wheat and gluten out of E's diet we have a happy child who has sttn for the past two nights even with the apnea. She is tolerating higher acidic foods and hasn't had a reaction in days if not a week
I really truly wonder if the wheat and/or gluten has been overloading her system all this time and causing her to react to so many other foods? Her breathing is great though that could be the proper inhaler use but I always had a thought that some of these breathing episodes were also food related because of how quickly she got raspy after eating certain foods (usually those with wheat or gluten).
So as of right now we have a happy, symptom free little girl. More info for her ever increasing file for the ENT and allergist .
Oh and funny thing is we gave the big girls a banana and they also got pink cheeks. Not as drastic but still a difference .
Now here is the fun dilemma: we're torn on taking the symptom free child to the allergist who may not test as she has been in the past few months or we start giving her wheat and gluten about a week before the appointment so the allergist can get an idea of what sensitivities we're truly dealing with when she's overloaded. Dh wants to not quite overload her but certainly get an accurate showing of how she has been before we cleared her up. I tend to agree with him even though it'll cause her some discomfort. I *need* the allergist to see what she's been like so we can find the root cause. But I'm torn on doing it because of guilt of putting her through it. Stupid, stupid guilt. KWIM?
