The advice you get from whacko anti-vaccination fanatics on the internet is worth every cent you pay for it. Would you risk your baby's life on what "soebody on the internet" told you?

Thank you for your sincere concern. (and I'm not being sarcastic when I say that) The reason I asked was because my son has an unexplainable problem with malabsorbtion syndrome. He developed it at about 10 months and by 14 months he had lost 1/3 of his body weight and had stopped all linear growth. Things have improved, but after a colon biopsy, allergy tests and uncountable blood work he still has problems after 8 years. Right now I'm working on the gluten/lactose intolerance theory and a pure meat/veg/rice diet help a LOT. My daughter didn't receive the HepB, he did. I doubt that that is the problem, but as a mom it's my job to look at all the possibilities.

I'm so sorry for your son's health problems. I wish you luck and offer a prayer for his full recovery.

I know little or nothing about food intolerance syndromes. The google search I just did on "food intolerance" and "vaccine" revealed that some of the same shaky and unscientific studies that try to link vaccines with autism are attempting to link vaccines to bowel diseases. Before you take any such claims seriously, you have to consider that autism and bowel diseases strike unimmunized kids, and the vast overwhelming number of immunized kids are perfectly healthy. No credible data exists showing any causal relationships between vaccines and autism or bowel disease. But do the searches yourself. Confront your doctor with any credible looking data you may find. But don't, please don't, trust anonymous tips on the internet where the life of your child is concerned.
