So I have some developments, I think in the scope down Ethan's throat they have found out whats wrong with him!

When they scoped his esophogas his stomach and small intestine looked perfect, the only thing they noticed were small deposits in his throat which they biopsied, they diagnosed him with Eosinophilic Esophagitis.

Brief Description:

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) is a disease characterized by swelling of the esophagus (the part of the body connecting the throat and the stomach) caused by an allergic white blood cell, the eosinophil. Symptoms of EE can range from severe heartburn, difficulty swallowing, food impaction in the esophagus, nausea, vomiting and weight loss. There appears to be some age-related differences in symptoms, with younger children having more symptoms of weight loss, and older children and adults having food impaction and difficulty swallowing.

When he was tested for food allergies he showed no reactions to milk, or anything else for that matter.
He also loved milk and ate cheese like it was his job, so we never made the connection. The night before we found out the prognosis I sent a text to Elise telling her how fed up I was and what I had planned to do. One of the things was to cut milk and then wheat from his diet. So needless to say this is amazing news, and hopefully its all that is wrong with him. Its a little disappointing to know that it may be something so simple all this time, but on the plus side its nothing serious in the end.

Thanks so much everyone for the love, advice, and support!

he's really going to miss milk products

let me spew info on your thread

see, all dairy products contain casein, and when it's broken down it releases an opiate, yes, like the drug, that's why when little kids drink milk, they calm down (it's not just because of their preoccupied with a boob) but, people can become addicted to it. And when they get off off it, they become a little bitchy. Though, he'll get over it.

Quote:

Casein has been documented to break down to produce the peptide casomorphin, an opioid that appears to act primarily as a histamine releaser.




but anyway. I felt like showing off really.

Not all opiods cause euphoria or addiction - and if this one primarily acts on histamine, it wouldn't cause those effects. It'll cause allergy-type symptoms.

Well, I didn't expect to have my heart broken this morning.  Effed, I am glad to hear you found out what you did and I hope Ethan gets better and better.  You have a beautiful son.  I hope you and your girl make it.

Mucho respect for Gumby, Prisoner#1 and Shroomism.

This place is quite a community, so many seem to care so much about others.

Love to all  :heart:

Wow, when I first read this thread the question that immediately popped into my head was, "What is he eating?"  So many illnesses are caused by what people put into their bodies.  I hope ceasing consumption of dairy will be helpful for your son.  He's such a beautiful kid.  And you look like such a proud dad.  :thumbup:  It's great to see you guys together.

That was my first gut thought as well.. so many illnesses are caused by food reactions, especially in children and when they go unchecked they can turn into chronic conditions. I know when I was a kid, I was highly allergic to all dairy and pineapples... for some reason. Anyway I don't think humans are meant to be drinking the amount of cow's milk we do. I mean sure cow's milk is fine... when it's unpasteurized. Drinking this pasteurized and homogenized cows milk in the quantities we do is not at all good for the body and is actually thought to be linked to a VAST number of diseases. Unpastuerized cows milk from grass fed cows is extremely high in antioxidants, enzymes, beneficial bacterias and other life-giving nutrients...  almost all of which is killed during the pasteurization process. Pastuerization kills enzymes, denatures fragile milk proteins, destroys vitamins C, B12 and B6, kills beneficial bacteria, promotes pathogens and is associated with allergies, increased tooth decay, colic in infants, growth problems in children, osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease and cancer.


"Pasteurization was instituted in the 1920s to combat TB, infant diarrhea, undulant fever and other diseases caused by poor animal nutrition and dirty production methods. But times have changed and modern stainless steel tanks, milking machines, refrigerated trucks and inspection methods make pasteurization absolutely unnecessary for public protection. And pasteurization does not always kill the bacteria for Johne’s disease suspected of causing Crohn's disease in humans with which most confinement cows are infected."



So yeah, the raw cow's milk is actually good for one. But pasteurized, homogenized milk is definitely no replacement for raw human milk.. which is ideal for human consumption. But glad you figured out the problem!!


Did you know we are the only species that drinks another species' milk? And we are the only species that drink milk after infancy.. just a fun fact.

Yeah, and most humans can't drink milk after infancy either. It's a European evolutionary trait.
