Child Have Eosinophilic Esophagitis. Not Cured By Flovent And Budensonide. Any Cure?
My 13 year old has been vomiting nearly every day for 3 months. She s been diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagits but has not responded to medication ( flovent , budensonide and prednisone; also takes prilosec ). She s tested (prick and patch) negative for major food allergies . She vomits mostly after meals, but sometimes just liquids, even water, come up. I ve noticed it can be foamy. She is maintaining her weight but is very fatigued, also gets headaches

I THIK YOUR TESTS ARE NOT CORRECT
SHE MUST BE ALLERGIC TO MILK WHEAT POTATO CHANA RICE NUTS EGG
GET CONFIRMED GAIN BY GETTING BLOOD SERUMTESTED FOR SPECIFIC ANTIBODIES FOR THESE FOOD
YOU CAN TRY BY STOPPING MILK AND DIARYPRODUCTS COMPLETELY
THIS HELPS EVEN IF SHE IS NOT ALLERGIC TO MILK
