I am sorry if I am being redundant since I am sure most of the info I am looking for is here however I have been looking into leaky gut in regards to my son and his food allergies.
Now, food allergies have run in my family with my brother and father. My brother has "outgrown" his, my father has not.
My son's known allergies per 2 Rast tests are egg, milk, soy, peanuts, beef, banana, (and our cats). We do have more testing coming up on monday via patch testing for delayed reactions..
When he was just a few weeks old we started to experience several problems with nursing, weight gain, diaper rash, mucousy poop, vomiting, hives and eczema. It was a long journey as I am sure many of you momma's can relate. Around 9 months old I had my breakdown and we weaned onto Neocate only. Since then we have had zero eczema problems, zero hives, etc. We did however have an issue with butternut squash recently and suddenly. He was able to tolerate it and then one day started to break out on his face and the squash started to be undigested in his diaper.
So I guess my question is.. after I tried to give a bit of background here could he have leaky gut? Could this have been caused by a.)the meds I was on during pregnancy for hyperemesis gravidarum. b.) the antibiotics i was on during labor c.) a combo of both
Have any of you had testing done for leaky gut? I read there is possibly testing that could be done, i am reluctant to even mention it to our ped, none of the Dr.s we deal with ever want to listen.
TIA for anyone that took the time to read all this and help me out!
