By now you would think we'd have an idea of how well grapes are treating Asher. Truthfully, the jury is still out. It's probably okay, but this food trial has not been the "slam dunk" that the other trials have been. We'll give it another week and see how it goes.
My last blog entry, on day four of the grape trial, Asher had a really bad stomach ache and gastrointestinal distress. Raj rightly pointed out that grapes are quite acidic and Asher hasn't had something like that in his system for a very long time. Raj had tried to prepare me for potential gastrointestinal distress with the bacon trial - something that could cause a shock to Asher's system but wasn't an allergic reaction. However, with bacon, that reaction didn't happen (and the kid eats A LOT of bacon!). Perhaps grapes are just a shock to Asher's adorable little body and that it's not an allergic reaction. We'll give it another week.
Asher hasn't eaten any grapes in two days. In fact, today he ate very little. Yes, it's quite concerning. But he doesn't have some of the other symptoms of ee - tiredness, achyness, queasy stomach, vomiting. So, we'll see. And that's why the jury is still out.

We hit upon your blog while searching for Amplatzer device.
We we were reading about your child's ASD surgery and are happy to hear he is doing well.
We have a 6 year old child who has been diagnosed with ASD. The doctor has given the option of trying out Trans-Catheter or go for surgery.
Just wondering if you can share your information/experiences on this if so my email id is rsivaramakrish(at)gmail.com
Thanks,
SR
