Inflammation

[puppydog]

Hi: I was wondering if inflammation from reflux can affect PANDAS/PANS.

 

Thanks

I don't know if inflammation from reflux can in and of itself affect PANDAS/PANS, but inflammation anywhere in the body, from any cause, could be a sign that inflammation also exists in the brain and is contributing to the PANDAS behaviors.

 

In our case, we found that reflux and eczema were inflammatory responses to excess histamine in DS's system. Using Pepcid for a few days tamed the reflux and eradicated the eczema, also.

I asked DD's Pandas doc and she was very hyped about it. All the stuff that goes on in the gut has a way to get directly to the brain. It's a lot of new research ground to cover.
