Singulair and laxitive

My 6 y/o daughter has been taking Singular for approx. 2 years. She began to have regular stomach pains shortly there after. She was sent to Children's hospital where they put her on a laxitive which made things worse. Then we began testing for food allergies only to find out that she tested positive for a 3 page list of foods. We eliminated those food and had her tested again. She was subsequently allergic to the foods we eliminated. She was recently down to rice, a few meats and some vegetables. Guess what, she is now allergic to those foods.

All this time she has been complaining of severe leg pain, eye pain, throat pain, numbness and tingling in her hands a feet, all of which come an go. I have reported this to all the doctors and specialists we have seen. She had undergone countless blood tests to rule out autoimmune disorders and all come up negative.

She began to develop severe anxiety and just had the blues most of the time. She would be crying and saying off the wall things like, "I don't think my fish is happy". She couldn't stand to be away from me and would stress out about even weather or not she would sit by me at a restaurant. I mentioned this to all of the doctors. They said to not make too much of it. One suggested she see a psychologist. NOT ONE DOCTOR EVER LOOKED AT THE SINGULAR.

Finally about 4 weeks ago my neighbor who is a scientist at a pharmaceutical company called me and told me about the "black box" warning that had just come out on Singular. I took both of my children off of it immediately. My daughter went through about a 10 day period where her anxiety got worse and then it was just gone. We are adding foods back into her diet and at this point she has not had any severe allergic reactions.

The last 2 years have been a complete nightmare for her and for us. I am a medical professional and I have had doctors treat me like a hypocondriac, hypersensitive, attention seeking mother. I feel so justified and saddened by the recent findings all at the same time. Most of all I am so grateful that we figured this out before things go even worse.

Please let me know if anyone else is suffering food related reactions as a side effect.

I have been taking Singulair for almost a year for asthma. I visited my family physician and he prescribed it for me and also gave me an inhaler. It only helped a little bit. I found out that we had a mold/mildew problem in our house from a water leak. I moved there and having been living in a new place for 5 months. After the 1st couple months, the asthma did not clear up. I went to a allergist and they said it is from acid reflux and not asthma. I have been taking prevacid for a couple months. The breathing problem has starting clearing up. This week my doctor said to stop taking the singulair. I also just started seeing another doctor for my ADHD. This same week he put me on 10mg of adderall 2x a day. So far I have been feeling a lot better and not so depressive and impatient or angry as some put it. I also have been able to get up earlier and not always so tired. I quit my job and am starting a new in a couple days. Also, I put on a little weight & size since taking singulair. My waist and neck size expanded.

Maybe I am feeling better maybe because of the new meds and maybe because I stopped singulair and even getting a new job (i hated my other one). The thing I can't figure out is that after i stopped the singulair I had this pressure in my stomache area but it doesn't feel like it is in my stomach (it doesn't have the full feeling). It felt like this for a couple days. 4 days after I stopped it, my stomach area under my sternum swelled up. I could feel it as it was doing it and it bulged out a little. This happened within an hours time. I went to the hospital and they ran test and everything was ok.

They said to wait and see what happens or go get a laxitive to release my system because it was just gas. I didn't use the bathroom this day or the next. I took the laxitive. My system cleaned out today but my stomach area still doesn't feel right. Any ideas?
