HELP!6 year old boy with stomach pains and reflux and apnea _{Page 2 of 3}

Dearest Simone, dr Mohla and Zady. Thank you again. The homeo pharmacy was not open, will open Monday and I will purchase as prescribed. I do need to write that I saw a white long hair in my sons stool, and its not the first time.I myself have long blonde hair so assumed it was it, but thought to mention it. Also he gets out of breath easily but has alot of energy most days and runs around. Regarding sugar, the rice cookies ( 2 per day) are plain and have no sugar, also dates he gets 2-3 per day and occasional berries/apple/watermelon/melon. I am pretty sure he has no candida as his tounge has no white coating , his spit testa is clear, and last ph testing via small stripes (ca 1,5 months ago) was around 7,2 ph. He eats lots and lots and lots of green veggies, carrots and occasional beet. The sugar is on the minimum, it is just the honey he gets with the black seed oil that is more sugary type of thing he ingests, and that he takes with cinnamon and curcumin.. Have not been able to obtain manuka due to expense, I wish I had since I suspect h.pylori.. Thank you again!

I am freaking out, I detechted Petechiae on his skin, tiny red spots by the collarbone. I am so afraid this is leukemia and I have no insurance plese please help!!

Simone , you are so right, we do tend to get overly scared. His marks are gone, and Im sure he got it from scratching, Im just concerned about his thinning skin as well, all his cappilaries are so visible now, eyelids almost blue and I was assuming it being from anemia or something like that. but lately, he seems to choke on his saliva during sleep and have long breathing pauses, so now I am thinking the oxygen depravation during sleep might be the culprit.

He has complained occasionaly on pain in throat , but never enough for me to be concerned, I now realize that his tonsills are probably enlarged which causes apnea and his excessive swollowing during night - maybe his acid reflux is gone for real.. (He keeps telling me that he has no acid in his throat ("mum, Im just swollowing, water is coming back sometimes, I need water". Apneas can be caused both my this and allergies, and the later can even cause stomach pain. He has trouble breething during night,not when he is deep in sleep, just when he is about to fall aslepp, he keeps swollowing and then breat pauses that last for 10-15 seconds, and then gasping for air, until he falls asleep. While asleep he used to sleep ok until he turns or sighs loudly, then follows a breathing paus, and normal breathing continues (Now he has a cold and a runny nose, sneezes and throat pain, so I am awake all night just to ensure he can breath, but its usually not this bad, he usually does not snore or wheeze like now. The swollowing saliva started ca 3 weeks ago, the loud sighing much earlier, just I didnt notice the apnea until later, and became very apparent and alarming to me when the gasping and the swollowing started, which is ca a week ago, and now his throat hurts so tonsills seems logical). Now I am thinking that maybe his stomach is an separate issue or that allergies are the cause for both the tummy and enlarged tonsills, or his stomach is just gas, his gerd went away with change of food and his apnea is only tonsils, and his thinning skin and suddenly visible and easily breakable cappilaries are connected to oxygen deprivation during sleep or maybe allergy related ?!

I sold his bed and most of our thing a couple of months ago and bought his a new matress as he was so red around his eyes (no caugh, sneezing, itching, just the red under his eye) and also visible capilaries on eyelids and itchy, mucusy red eyes. I went to a friends friend who is a doctor for free and she prescribed antibiotics which did not help at all and then he also developed a rash under his eyes. After 4 days, despite her protesting I stopped it and used calendula tea and it went away, but he was still so so red under his eyes and his lids were always swollen so I sold everything worth anything and bought the new matress,thinking allergies but there was no significant improvment, so I kind of ruled out allergies. I do however have same pillows and cover, unfortunately :(

Now I am thinking maybe it is allergies after all, our inhouse environment is not the best,the tonsills are the apnea culprit for sure, but they could also be allergy related, right?

I live in a very small, poor , corrupt country where even people with insurance need to pay the docs under the table to get even smallest things done. I have a complicated situation with my childs father where he would not sign divorce papers (then it obliges him to pay child support), nor pay for the divorce, nor sign the papers needed for my son to be registered here (he was born abroad) so he has no legal right to even get insurance. His father is now nowhere to be found,but he is tryig to ensure that I leave the country and refuses to sign any papers needed. He has friends high up and can basically make sure my child is taken fro me due to my low financial income (he doesnt want his son, he wants hi out in an orphanage, they still kind of have them here). I cannot work at a normal job as he can not go to daycare without papers in order, and nanny I cant afford, so I take odd jobs and save as much as I can on my own food and neccesities. My son lack nothing, but my ex can still make the state take my child away, so I keep my head down and beg to god to save us until we find a solution. I take odd jobs,translate via internet, freelance as much as I can and pray to god for us to be healthy and survive this all - I am right now doomed (or blessed, who knows?) to try to get things done in an alternative or a natural way and hope for the best, begging god for his health to be ok. I would obviously go to the hospital and risk them getting in touch with my ex and risk having my child taken away in case something would be seriously wrong, which is also why I am freaking out like you said, but as long as possible I am trying to keep my head down, and get through it with natural remedies.
I am moving to another city for a job in 10 months, and there he knows nobody and I can register my child and say that the father is out of the country and I am obliged by the law to put my child in school, so then the problem will be solved, it is however the period right now that is hard as there is no way to get medical help or examinations without huge sums of money. It is very hard to talk reason in a highly corrupt state He can get tests done privately, but it is very expensive and way more than I can dream of effording right now. There are no low cost clinics here( and sometimes low cost for me, is still unaffordable - I limit my meals to one a day, sometimes less, selldom more,I eat bread and mayo while my son eats veggies and supllements) nor are ther private hospitals, just expensive private clinics and state owned corrupt clinics where I cant go with my son since he has no state insurance nor an ID , Like I said -very hard and complicated, and I am sorry for the long explanation. I am to visit a homeopath today, called yesterday and he "prepared" the nat phos and kali phos. If you think of something I should use for possible adenoids or tonsils, please let me know I am so immensly grateful for all you people do.May god bless you, you dererve so much love and respect! Thank you!

Dear Zady,

my situation is nothing that affects my son, he gets alot of love and is a very, very happy and energetic child, there are no signs of depression whatsoever - I am not depressed either, challanges I face are a part of life and temporary, so I, besides worrying alot about my boy, am also a very happy and positive mommy. Not sure if you have confused this with an other poster, as I have not mentioned any depression. I will stand by original dr mohla and simones advice and get the nat phos and then proceed to nat carb if that would not help. Thank you

Oh my! Dear Simone, thank you for the link and your nice wishes, but I do wonder how bad my english is if I left the impression that I am a trafficking victim!I live in my home country, I just happened to work abroad (doing marketing research and result analysis for a company) and that is where I gave birth to my son. The project ended and I came back home,where I WANT to be (it is my ex that wants to see me go back, but I don`t have a renevwed work visa nor do I want to move!) The system is not the best, but this is y home, and I doubt this organization actually helps victims of messy divorces get their work visas to other countries :) My only problem is my ex making it impossible to register my son and that that I ran out of my savings, and can`t work as my son can`t attend day care without my ex signature. It is temprorary, like I said, but creates problems right now, which is why I am here asking for help.

Anyway, sorry for my bad explaining and over sharing, these are the results of nat phos -

No results regarding stomach pain - the same, if not more frequent - 3 times a day, often during eating or on empty stomach

Still has leakage into the throat, swollowing a lot, but hard to know ir its reflux or post nasal drip or something else as he got a cold the day before we started the remedy!

His cold came with low grade fever that went away after 2 days but he still has stuffy nose and shortness of breath - minor coughing. Complained of pain in throat on each side of throat yesterday.

Got a broken capilary on one arm, small red dot, and developed new petechiae on leg when he fell, now he has a bruise. His stool has been ok, several times a day,eating well but developing stomach pain during eating. Got diarhia this morning, but it could be from the supplements I am giving for the cold.

So stomach pain -same or more, belching, burping hick ups - still there, acid has not been there for a while, so no change, but reflux (or the tonsills, or post nasal drip, or whatever that liquid coming back is) so, no results whatsoever. BUT it seems like he is less bloated actually, which is nice.

His voice is still hoarse, and has been for ca 3 weeks. Not better with the cold of course.


I cannot afford kali mur just yet and have to wait til my freelancing job gets paid. I see nothing strange with the tonsils, but will try to upload a picture when I get my internet back as it is turned off now and I am writing from a wifi that works sporadically.

He is short of breath even during the day now, a bit worse yesterday than today.

I would love a remedy that can work well fast, as it is a real struggle to buy new ones. I am extremely grateful for all the help and very sorry for my bad explaining and over sharing. Thank you

I am also considering a possible goiter as he is swollowing obsessivly and had hoarse voice and shortness of breath and apnea.. He has a SLIGHT swelling in the throat, but Im not sure if its just his throat, no significant difference, but I HAVE noticed it before.. Not sure what to make out of it..

Thank you again

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Simone. I would never let him end up anywhere without me :) It was just my exs try to punish me for leaving, and orphanages here, as bad as they might be are fortunatelly not known for those kinds of activities! In a case of severe need, I could go to the hospital and try to cover it with the insurance from his birth country (which he has, except I don`t have right to move there..) . In case of minor visits however, I do need to pay upfront and the registration papers and wait for a couple of months for the refund,IF it even comes and right now it is impossible for me to pay several thousands, or even hundereds for visits and tests. I will try to arrange it in some way, and at the moment, the remedies are more affordable than the visit to the doc :( Since his symptoms are many and inconsistent, I doubt one visit will do it, but he must undergo a lot of tests, blood, urine, stool and possible endoscopy, ultrasounds and what not if they don`t get it right from the get go- and even if I get the visits without him being registered, the money is not there, and then they will start a procedure for him being in the country unregistered etc. It is an evil circle, and I can`t wait to get this all in order..

I will give it a couple of days to see what happens when his cold clears up (hope to God it will soon) and see if it possible to see if the tonsills or gerd or leaky gut or postnasal drip are the culprit. He has bad breath, and is hoarse, so I am leaning toward tonsils or h pylori, so will try to get these tests done first, and go from there. I have loaned some money from a friend, and will get to homeo farmacy on Monday and test the kali mur and see, it is the 10th of the cost of the doctors visit (and then assuming they will check him despite lack of papers) so I guess it is worth a try. Thank you so kindly for your kind words and your prayers! Lots of love from Tim and his mommy!

Hello again.

I have not been able to write, I am psychologically and financially exhausted. Stupidly, I went to a ped and spent around 60 dollars which was my last money just to hear that I need to get 100 tests done among one is genetical predisposition and costs around 300 dollars. That is almost double of what I have for a whole month after the bills are paid! And the "tonsills look fine, just a bit enlarged and red" and this wastoward the end of his cold and still got prescribed 2 kinds of antibiotics which would kill his guteven more! They ordered coloidoscopy, gastroscopy, stool and blood tests - and I can`t even afford food, and I cant get these tests done as he has no security number.

Today was a really bad, bad day. His stomach pain is getting worse by the day and tonight he also had heart burn. I am at my wits end. He is clearly anemic, I can see it by his skin, his rapid breathing and his apnea, also his throat vein is visible when sleeping with high pulse. His legs hurt again which they have not done for weeks. I am really, really helpless. I have 6 dollars to survive til the end of the month and I can not go do more tests and even if I did, I cant afford medicine nor do I want him to give him antibiotics.

He has been grinding his teeth a bit more. He bruise easily and I am so so scared of something serious.

Please, please help me. The man in homeo pharmacy said that I could get a "tesy batch" of some medicines for free if I sign up for giving a positive review so I have that opportunity. Do you please have any suggestions? Thank you kindly

Forgot he seems to have symptoms of UTI, shivers all over frequently and has urinated at least ten times today with an half an hour in between (goes 3-4 times usually). Also has cushion like lumps on both feet that look likde a "thurd" joint, but soft (he has a "second" hard joint on his feet too. Not sure if it is related at all, just to mention it too. His salivating is a bit less tho, after the cold went away so apnea is better, but still there. He sighs deeply followed by 10-15 seconds paus, but no longer "drowning" in post natal drip. His nose is not runny like he needs to blow it out, but is a bit liquid in the morning when he "breaths" it in. He still seem to be out of breath easily, not as much as when he had a cold but coughs when he is running around or crying. I was thinking silent reflux, but the other symptoms such as anemia makes me scared and especially his stomach pain and bloating. He had a lot of hick ups today, and his pain is more intense. Sorry for being so detailed.

Will do! Thank you kindly, it means alot!

I posted the new post with a title 6 year old-- Hope you can find it and thank you very, very much!
