My eight year old daughter has had an on & off but, fairly consistent, adenoid problem for years. I am vegan and have raised her vegan from birth (aside from the dairy I had been eating, prior to my being vegan, and she would've consumed through breast milk). She was at home and home schooled for the 1st 7yrs. This is her 1st year in public school and I'm sure the germ exposure plays a big role in our problem. She had much exposure to dairy and eggs from her father (divorced) in the past few years. We went to an allergist last year, I had her tested for dairy, eggs, soy & dust mites. Turns out she is highly allergic to dairy and eggs (score one for the vegan team!) She is no longer eating dairy or egg products at her dad's, unless they are not aware of it ie: not reading labels, or being unaware of where a certain ingredient is derived from. Unfortunately, she is still experiencing the swollen adenoids, colds & sleep apnea. We are going to Dr Rydland (holistic doctor, creator of Kids Wellness brand Herbal Remedies for Kids) this month and hope he can help. I'm sure a conventional Ear, Nose & Throat doctor would recommend removal of the adenoids, as one did when she was 3yrs old. Will keep trying.
