just a question
my 15 daughter developed a nasal obstruction, had septoplasty and the doctor reported that my daughter had the worst adhesions he had ever seen. Within 2 months the adhesions were back, she developed a saddle nose, and she was snoring again. The lining of her nose is lined with sores and bleeds everyday, and she coughs all of the time. My daughter was sent to a Rhinologist who took one look at the lining, said it was allergies and she needed reconstruction. We were sent down the hall to plastics where the doctor took one look at her nose and said that he felt like she had a vasculitis called Wegeners Granulomatosis. She...

Food Allergies - I am becoming allergic to EVERYTHING!
About 5 years ago I started having very loose stools, stopped absorbing my food and had a burning irritated stomach. I started noticing a correlation with milk and eventually figured out that I had a dairy allergy. Once I cut dairy out of my diet the burning in my stomach went away, I began absorbing my food again and everything went back to normal.
Since then I have slowly but surely become allergic to just about all foods including rice, soy, chicken/egg, beef, pork, fish/seafood, wheat, nuts, potatoes etc. I am basically living on two foods now, corn and quinoa. I can also have some green vegetables such as broccoli, ...
