How did it all start in the babies?   Message List

Hi all,

I am writing due to some concern for my nephew (my brother's son).
He is 2.5 months old and has had thrush a few times already. It has
recently cleared up with diflucan. My mom and I are watching him
closely but haven't mentioned anything to his mom (my sister-in-law)
yet. My nephew has horrible gas ALL the time - I'm wondering if
those of you dealing with chronic diarhhea in your little ones had
this experience early on with gas before the chronic diarrhea
started. How/when did it all start? Also, did anyone have trouble
with breathing? My mother remembers my doctor asking at my first
visit if I ever had problems when I was a baby with breathing while I
slept. My nephew will stop breathing for a few seconds and then take
a big set of three breaths in. We could be looking way more into the
little details than we have to, but I just want to keep my eyes open
since he has had thrush a few times already and he's only 2.5 months
old. I have APS 1, but my brother doesn't. He could be a carrier
though, don't know. My sister - in - law would have to carry the
mutation too and they both would have to give it to their son for him
to get it - 25% chance. So it would be against the odds for him to
get it.
Has anyone had genetic testing done early on to diagnose APS type 1
(APECED) before even getting hypoparathyroidism or Addison's Disease?

Thanks for your input.

Julia

Hi Julia, Wish I could help but Tara's symptoms were quite different. We didn't suspect anything was wrong until she was 2 1/2. Her only problems till then...

Hi Julia, It sounds like it would be genetically unlikely for your nephew to have APS, but if your sister in law is interested in testing, it might put her at...

Thanks everyone for your comments. Seems like we should wait it out until he turns 6 months to see what happens. My mother and I don't want to scare my...
