hardeep,

You have to be patient with the protopic…. they say it takes at least 3-4 mnths to see any result. I know how difficult it is to keep waiitng.

I have two daughters… aged 15 and 11.The younger one, Swinzle, has vitiligo since she was 6. Nobody else either side of the family has vitiligo.

I am not in India. Past 13 yrs, I am in Penang, Malaysia. Vitiligo is not common here… I see it mostly in the Indians ( tamilian community ) and the sikh community here.

Thanks for your nice words

But he also often complains about fullness after meals & bloting

If he eats little more for a meal the surly he will have bowl movement within 1/2 an hour . are these all signs of digestive problen?

Asha,
that sure is a digestive problem for sure ! I am no doctor but just asking if stool is formed or loose.
A friend suffers from the same problem…( she has diabetes ) and for her its loose. I think the doctor told her its irritable bowel syndrome. Bloating and fullness… give him lighter meals and see it improves. Does he eat non veg , lot of dairy ? As for the liver funtion test i do it every year.. even tho it comes out ok…. but then thats coz of the medicine i give her. Its my belief that all diseases are somehow stomach related…esp autoimmune ones.

Asha,
yes u have to read , re read and underline to grasp the book.. its too much info to understand at one time. I do rememebr the doses were very high of vitamins but i could not remember the tests.
No I have not tested for food allergies as these tests were not possible here.

It took me sometime to understand that she had a digestive problem. Initially she used to complain about nausea in the morning. I could not figure out why. After that I noticed she used to feel tooo full after a meal and later started having stomach bloating, sometimes nausea and uneasiness. She also used to feel fatigued. I was in India at that time and my BIL (a doctor ) suggested to get a liver funtion test done. Then I came to know that her protein absorption and enzymes were low.Since then I watch her diet and put her on liv 52 which really really helps and eases the problem.
Liver funtion test is just a blood test. Doctors have advised me to get these three tests done every eyar.. liver, thyroid and sugar as these three are closely linked.
About the vitamins in detail I will ask my hubby and tell u. The metagenics ones u are giving are good. Yeah one thing, earlier I was giving high doses as advised by Dr Monte, but she used to feel nausea with them so we lowered the dose.
I hope I have answered all your queires… if I have left out something … feel free to ask again.
How long have u been giving these vitamins ? Do u feel they help ?
I will let u know the dosages of vitamins.

hi Hardeep,

i think its the same story in every Indian household.. as far as cooking is concerned…lol. We eat so much of veggies yet are deprieved of vitamins.

I have tried various things Hardeep… steroid creams, placentax injections, B12 injections, bought a UVB unit as well, protopic , elidel and of course vitamins. Regained colour with some treatments and then lost it. I did not treat her for one and a half years as she was fed up and jsut did not want me to go anywhere near her…lol.Now applying melanocyl solution since Jan and she is regaining back pigment.But her vitiligo is very extensive I try to keep her on a low fat, low sugar diet as much as I can along with yoga.

Be patient , I am sure u will see results. Hope and pray for u , that it disappears by next b`day.

wishing u good luck,
van

Hi Suki,

This sounds like a big problem.sorry to hear u have been suffering for so many years. Wjhat is the specific test which determines this kind of problem ? Endoscopy, ultrasound.?? I hope the homeopathic treatment works for u. My daughter also used to complain of bloating after meals…tho i have not been to a gastronologist, i was told by other doctors its coz of her liver. The liver funtion test showed low enzymes. So the medicine, liv 52 solves the problem. Along with that I try to give her a low fat diet.
How was the marriage and the trip to India ? I am sure u must have had a good time !

Take care,
vandana

Asha, first of all thanks for the wishes, so nice of u. You know I read that book … about 5 yrs back ! Now i can`t remember what tests they were ! Can u just remind me ?About vitamins, yes in high doses. I feel vitamisn have not really eevr helped in repigmentation, maybe they did not cause it to spread so much and helped her feel more energetic , than she previously did..
