Re: Ketotifen

Santona, somehow I missed this message before. Did you end up
giving it to your son? What did you see?

How about you Suzanne? Did you use it to?

haven't the time to keep up with the EE groups, but I value what
nuggets can be gleaned from them. Jenny sometimes keeps us updated
on what's going on in the EE world too. I believe most of our super-
allergy kids do have some levels of EE, and the DAN community has
not really dug into this particular set of diseases, so we need to
do our own research and share what we learn, hopefully leading the
DAN docs to some insights on EE and its treatment. I do notice
that Dr. Krigsman seems to be prescribing elemental formula more
frequently these days, rather than saving it just for the kids who
have already lost most foods.

Well, you're doing a lot of the right things already, so I think if you just limit oxalates a bit more that will help. Do you give calcium before meals or in...
