Try Systane Free as needed....your eye doctor may also want to prescribe "Restasis" which might help in tear production.  That one takes about a month to work, so don't judge it right off the bat.\n\nIf you use any artificial tear, make sure they are preservative free.  Visine and Clear Eyes do a great job getting their name out, but they aren't the best for your eyes--their preservatives can actually make your eyes more uncomfortable.\n\nYou might also consider punctal plugs or punctal cautery.  Either of those procedures plug your tear canal--which forces your tears to stick around longer.

There is something called Tuja or Thuja.  Maybe homeopath medicine.  Consult a doctor since the child is quite small and the area is near the eye.

Have you tried prunes? The sunsweet brand makes really great snack prunes with added flavor like orange.\n\nI'm not suggesting prune juice, just whole prunes as a snack.  Or if he likes raisans, cut the prunes up raisan size and offer them that way or mix them with cereal, oatmeal cookies, etc just like you would with raisans.\n\nI'm not a big prune fan but I do like the sun sweet snack prunes. (Usually found with the rasians).\n\nAlso does your grandson snack on items that interfere with his bowels - peanuts, corn, bananas? \n\nAlso make sure he gets lots of fluids.  Juices and water are both great for helping to work things "out" of our systems.  Fiber without enough fluid intake will cause constipation, not solve it.

Eat lots of fruit, for this problem stone fruits are best.  Prunes, saltanas, peaches, nectarines.  Watermelon, rockmelon and passionfruit are also good.  I think it can be fatal (I am not 100%) but i have heard if ya dont eat, ya dont 5hit, and if ya dont 5hit, ya die?  Go to your local doctor or GP again. Good luck ")

we eat with our eyes so children too,that's why it is advisable that u prepare colorful dishes coz it increaes their appetite..\n\non the crying, maybe they're too early for school and they r experiencing separation anxiety that's why they cry alot and fight over something, i suggest that u spend more quality time with them by reading them stories that teaches a lesson on sharing or taking care of little siblings....like that

You don't need to worry about your child not being able to handle non-organic food once he/she is born. When in the womb, the baby is "fed" through the umbilical cord. Of course it matters what the mother eats...but going organic is probably the best thing she could do! Non-organic foods wouldn't harm the baby at all (since they don't harm her), but eating only organic will not make the baby less tolerant to non-organic food. By eating organic foods, you are giving your baby the best predisposition to a healthy life. He/she is not introducted to any synthetic chemicals or anything like that...how could that not be the best way to start life? Once the baby is ready to eat solid food, its immune system will be able to handle non-organic food just like anybody elses. Your baby might actually be less allergic to certain foods because it gets the real product right from the start, instead of something chemically altered. I am convinced that sticking to organic food is a very smart choice for any mother. You were totally right with that train of thought.

OK this is TRUE...  My mother, wanting to get alittle healthier as she ages, decided to take some "wheat grass" for its nutrients.  It comes in a green, rather powdery form that you should mix with some water and drink it down.  Well she didn't mix it with water and instead took a tablespoon and tried swallowing it plain.\n\nShe must of taken a little breath and then began to choke but didnt want to waste this expensive nutrient so she tried to hold it in and get it down.  Well she ended up coughing while still trying to hold the wheat grass in, she shot out puffs of green numerous times.  She looked like a dragon trying to use its power for the first time.  We almost died laughing at this sight!  Wish you could of been there!!  Her new nickname is "Puff the magic dragon" or just "Puff" for short!

I had a friend that had this and she had to stay away from greens when she ate, along with anything that had seeds (including strawberries...those little black seeds on the skin of the strawberry would do her in every time!).\n\nShe also ordered a vitamin from Shaklee.  I can't remember the name of it; however, if you talked to a dealer of their vitamins, I'm sure they could direct you to the right thing (it's actually 2 things...one was a powder that you drink and the other was a tiny round white pill and both restored the natural flora that is in most peoples bowels; however, people that have UC don't have this or have very little of this).\n\nI think I would give these other options a try before the surgery; however, if it doesn't work, definitely talk with your doctor and get a second and third opinion before any surgery!\n\nGood luck!

There's a GREAT source of information about vitamins at\n\nhttp://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW000/35320/35323/442717.html?d=dmtHMSContent\n\nIt describes different kinds of vitamins, when they are necessary--and this site goes beyond the usual "pregnant women should take a prenatal vitamin" advice that other sites give.\n\nThere is even more information at\nhttp://www.virtualhealthinfo.com/news_vitamins.shtml\n\nI remember hearing a few weeks ago on NPR that for the first time, a daily multivitamin was recommended for people, even those who eat a pretty normal diet because the nutritional value of the foods we eat is no longer as good as it used to be.  I suppose this is why we can get tomatoes that may not taste like much, but which travel to market without damage.  \nI looked for an article on this, but I couldn't find it.  (Sorry.)

i think you are coming down with something fairly wicked.  Do you have any vitamins/herbs in the house?  Don't eat sugar, not even orange juice.\n\nI would take these things if you have them:\na multivitamin\n5,000 IU vitamin C, one horsepill every few hours\nzinc (suck on a zinc tab - disgusting but great)\nraw garlic or garlic pills\n(echinacea/goldenseal, Airborne cold remedy (it's probably not a cold though), zicam cold remedy, ginseng, astragalus)\n\nyou'll need food to take any of those.  my pick would be yogurt, or Kefir probiotic yogurt drink.  otherwise, go with some fruit, or just whatever you got.  That's assuming you have some vitamins to take.  Otherwise, try not to eat unless you really need to.\n\nthen take hot shower, and once warm enough, turn to full cold for 60 seconds, or as close to full cold as you can go.  cycle back and forth, cold and hot, a few more times\n\nalright, then you want to make some warm saltwater, about as salty as seawater or blood.  (use sea salt if you have that)  Put it in a shotglass or something, and pour it into a nostril, drawing it in gently.  once you have some in there, pinch off the nostril and squeeze it... the idea is to rinse out that whole area as much as possible... now blow your nose and do the other nostril.  there is a learning curve on that one, but it's worth it... that drainage is just irritating your throat and stomach.. you gotta give your body any edge you can find.\n\nyou need to do some neck stretches, particularly backwards... stand up and lean your whole body backwards in a backbend, with your throat stretched backwards as far as possible.  I remember I used to lay on the edge of a bed with my head hanging off to get a nice easy stretch.  you want circulation in that area, not just of blood but of other bodily systems.. same reason you gotta take a cold shower\n\ndrink water.   hot or hot/salty liquids are good.  sugar bad.\n\nas for it being an allergy... I think allergies can open doors for infections to take hold... consider your diet... maybe it's time to start cleaning it up if you haven't already.  every time you get ill, you risk doing some part of your body some kind of permanent harm... viral damage to glands or other organs, a suppressed immune system.  Fresh whole foods, plenty of nutrients, that kind of thing.

I just emailed you! Lol! I have a 7 year old with autism who is on a gluten free/casein free diet. He is EXTREMELY hyperactive. Before I put him on the diet (he was almost 3) he would be even MORE hyper after eating foods with milk, and would have these crazy laughing spells. He already bounces off the walls, but it was obviously more so with the milk products, not to mention the stools he would have after eating them. I was changing like 10 pull ups a day. He would not even touch milk after I took him off of the bottle but he was addicted to cheese, and cereals/crackers with wheat in them.  AFTER I put him on the diet, within a matter of only a couple of weeks, he just stopped peeing on himself. Period, including at night. So to me I related that directly to the diet. I have wanted to give up on the diet sometimes, but you know, every time I let him have some foods which he normally doesn't have, he acts even more hyper than usual, and if you knew my son you would find that hard to believe! Lol! I have considered Feingold as well as vitamin therapy(B6 and Magnesium), but with my financial situation and stress level, any more changes would just be really hard for me to enforce right now. I also had completely takem him off of sugar for a long time, but I have caved and so he has it every now and then. I can't really tell if it affects his behavior or not. I am still looking for a solution that works, I am just kind of burned out by the trial and error of it all!

I am sorry for your situation :(\nI have read that swallowing gobs of unchewed rice or bread helps. I have not tried that personally though. \n\nDo a google search on the subject, and you should surely come across lots of viewpoints and information related to this.\n\nI would suggest you see a doc soon. I wouldn't wanna take chances. \n\nHope it comes out soon!

I'm 29, and have always had a hard time. I have found that the easiest and most effective thing is to eat small amounts, several times a day. I don't even eat healthy all the time...I keep things like nuts, string cheese, summer sausage, etc...around, and just make myself eat something every couple of hours. I avoid fast food as much as possible, and when I do eat it, I order a kid's meal to help with portion control. When I sit down to a regular meal, I always take 1/2 of what I think I want, wait about 20 min., and then judge if I NEED more or not. The other big key is water...AT LEAST 8 servings a day, and more is better. NO regular pop. The fact that you are already in the habit of walking is great as well. Keep doing that, but maybe use a timer and try to go a little farther each day within your 30 min. That will increase your pace without taking more time. I hope this helps. I know how frustrating it is to try and do work and school at the same time, and still struggle to find time for housework and taking care of yourself...which always seems to end up the lowest priority. :)
