Macabre ... that is just the type of probiotic I am looking for ... thanks! And thanks to everyone who responded. It's been tough going so far. For those of you who are not familiar with our current situation, my daughter is allergic to PN/sesame, and aside from her initial reaction at 19 mo, we have had to deal with one episode of ANA (due to sesame exposure) in the 8 years since (and that was 4 years ago). We haven't had so much as a hive since, and she has never had any medical treatment at school (we are extremely diligent as well).
Fast forward to a month ago, and she was having repeated minor reactions during gym class, and then a pretty significant reaction (although no epi). We have been playing it safe, biding our time until we can see an allergist at Mt. Sinai in January (our local allergist does not know what to do with us). She has sat out at PE. and I have watched her activity level carefully. We went rollerskating about a month ago, with no problem. However, this past Sunday we went again, and she had a pretty significant reaction, although again no epi. Swelling and hives around the eyes, and very scary. Scary because she has said to me that her warning is that she starts sneezing, and there was no sneezing ... just immediate onset of symptoms. She reported that her mouth and lips tingled ... that is when she came to me crying. I was/am so rattled.
Anyway, I have been doing a lot of research, and I have always had my own theory about my daughters allergic tendencies having to do with an early course of antibiotics at age 9 months without probiotics. I really believe this screwed up her gut flora. I'm just hoping to find *something* to restore some balance.
