TED, Allergy and med. question

I did not want your post to go unanswered and I hope someone with TED experience will see this and chime in. I have not done TED, but I don’t think you would eliminate meds during this!! I would keep giving them.

Also, I think it is beleived by most doctors that reflux is caused by 2 things. Either an immature LES (lower esophagael sphincter) or intolerances/allergies. I imagine that some kids could be unlucky enough to have both issues. For both of my kids, once their intolerances were all sorted out it seemed that reflux calmed down A LOT. So I think that when intolerances flare up from an offending food, it must cause the reflux symptoms (maybe spasming in the stomach from GI upset) someone please chime in if I am waaay off base here. Even when Landen was on Neocate only, he still needed Prevacid, so I really do think he must have had an immature LES as well as intolerances.

I hope this helps some! I would try to stick out TED to see if there is any food intolerances and if you do not come up with anything, you might feel better knowing you can eat whatever you want and know it is an immature LES.

Hang in there!
