Janna HHi. My daughter (almost 7) was diagnoses with Non-classic CAH about a year ago. The doctor prescribed hydrocortisone, and she seems to be doing well. However, one of the side effects for us has been pretty rapid weight gain. I know she is going to have to have treatment for the rest of her life, and I would rather she did not have to deal with this. Has anyone tried any herbal, or "holistic" methods for treatment?
I know, in the grand scheme of things, that a little weight gain is nothing to worry about, compared with the issues that so many of you are dealing with. I feel very blessed that she has the non salt-wasting form of this disease. However, I also would like to explore other options if they are available.
Thanks for your help!
