My nearly 11 month old daughter saw the doctor today who wants to put her on Zyrtec for her horrid allergies. Being someone who is leary of medication and being that she's just a baby, I'm worried. She's so little, I hate to put something like that into her body. Should I be wo...
DS has only been on Zyrtec for 2 days and while his allergies are better, he is a completely different person! He has gone from being sweet and gentle to being aggressive, hyper, and moody. He is acting possessed and bouncing off the walls, hitting, throwing things, crying and screaming for the...
Hello! This is my first post, so I hope I do it correctly. My 3 year old dd has some unspecified allergies. I took her in to the doctor last week (did not see our FP- saw someone new) because I was worried about her respiratory rate. The doc said that her lungs were clear but she should take...
Okay mamas, we're going to give up yeast. Besides the obvious 'yeast' ingredients (nutritional yeast :crying ), what else do I have to get rid of? Someone said molasses, b/c they are grown on yeast or something. Anyone btdt?ThanksAmy...
We have been battling a yeast rash on dd's bottom for a couple of months now... last week the doc gave her nystatin and hydrocortisone and this weekend the rash was almost completely gone-- until she pooped yesterday and now she has a burn-like red rash in teh crack -- anus to vagina crack....
I have what seems to be a chronic yeast infection and I'm wondering if it might actually be an allergic reaction. I know I'm 100% intolerant to Gluten (though, have been eating it anyway :o), and I know I have a few other food allergies.I'm going to be starting an elimination diet...
Dh is allergic to a variety of things : Bakers and brewer's yeast, blueberry, cow's milk, sesame, yogurt, coffee, cottage cheese and whey (these were determined through a blood test)my question is this - since he's been allergic to these things, we've been noticing that so...
I know there are quite a few mamas of eczema/food allergic babies out there, I was wondering how everyone was faring, any new discoveries?My dd is now 16 mo. Her eczema looks better lately. She recently weaned (she led the way...) , I have been giving her about 1 t ground flax seeds daily....
Thanks in advance for advice. I'm trying here. No response in health & healing...Hi. We are battling weeping eczema on our 6 mo old ds's face. He has bright red patches that we keep as clean as possible so they don't get lint or a crust on them. Last week we went to the ped'...
Hi, I posted this in the bf forum, but figurd it's better here. I cant believe I've never been in the allergy forum, as I am overrun with allergies!Here's our situation:Mt dd developed her first diaper rash around 7 months that I attributed to teething, and we tried all sorts of...
(I cross-posted this in Home Management too - mods, feel free to move to the better place?)A friend of mine just moved into a new apt. 2 days ago and she is having an asthma reaction and can hardly breathe. There is brand new berber-type carpeting (not at all natural) that was just installed, an...
Wow, first I want to say a heartfelt thank you to all the good mamas and good papa who have sent me encouragement and advice over the past year. I don't know what I would have done without MDC. We had moved from Denver to NYC just one month before Sierra became sick. I was already horribly...
My youngest 2 children suffer fairly often from this and I was just wondering if anyone else was dealing with this and what you do besides steroids. I have tried cool mist, steamy bathroom, warm apple juice, cool night air or freezer air, elevation while sleeping. I have thought about allergis...
I took my dd to the allergist Thursday about her allergies. She is allergic to milk, strawberries, kiwi, and some antibiotics. For some background info-since she was born she had this bad rash, mostly on her behind. It was unlike daiper rash, and was more like hives and welts. She was also h...
Oh great.So I am on a strict nodairy diet for poor DS, and fell into the Temple of Sin today and had to have me a white chocolate mocha.Yes, I got it made with soy milk, thinking "way to go me!" and then 1hour later felt bloated, icky, and headachey.Called Starbucks, and it turns out that the sy...
