Digestive Disorder Tied to Children's Food Allergies
Summary:
Children can be allergic to various substances like pollen, pet dander, or peanuts. However, imagine a 5-year-old like Charlie Mays, allergic to most foods and unable to enjoy even his birthday cake.Article:
Food allergies in children often lead to reactions from various everyday substances. While some food allergies are common, cases like that of 5-year-old Charlie Mays are particularly severe. Charlie’s allergies prevent him from eating most foods, including the simple pleasure of his own birthday cake.
“Charlie began vomiting frequently at just 2 months old,” says his mother, Beth Mays. “There were days he would vomit 10 to 20 times.”
Charlie is diagnosed with an eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal disorder, known as EGID. This condition causes significant allergic reactions to certain foods, affecting many children's lives.
Dr. Marc Rothenberg from Cincinnati Children's Hospital notes that tens of thousands in the U.S. might have EGID, with many potentially undiagnosed. EGID is often mistaken for gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Symptoms of EGID include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, food getting stuck in the throat, and stunted growth or development.
Children like Charlie rely on special hypoallergenic elemental formulas for nourishment. Some need feeding tubes directly into their stomachs. Ross Pediatrics produces a formula called EleCare, which provides necessary nutrients for children with EGID to develop healthily.
“When Charlie started on EleCare, I felt like I was meeting my son for the first time,” Beth Mays shares. “He finally enjoyed his life, free from constant pain.”
Researchers are investigating the rising cases of EGID and exploring treatment and cure options.
“In 2005, we recognized that this disease is not uncommon,” says Rothenberg. Helping children grow and develop normally remains the primary focus.
