Has anyone dealt with GI issues and PANS?

[puppydog]

Has anyone dealt with burping, swallowing problems, reflux, spasms, etc.? What was the cause, and did resolving it reduce PANS symptoms?

 

Thanks!

swallowing problems may be ocd related, the rest on the list is gut. I would venture to say that many on this list have some stomach problems. three ways that I know to deal with it:

1) diet -- it depends what food you can't tolerate

2) stomach lining (leaky gut) -- glutamate and linoleic acid

3) calming down iritation (in case of IBS) -- probiotics

 

I don't know what the cause is. In part, apparently, stomch problems are the cause of P/p, and not th other way round. I guess, the cause has to do with the general as well as specific (e.g. celiac) auto-immune problems.

My son has had on and off GI problems since he was born. I would look at potential food intolerances or allergies. In our case all of those symptoms were from foods that were triggering a chain reaction of autoimmune responses.

Would you consider running some blood work for food allergies?

Yes. They've been run for allergies. Are there tests for sensitivities?
