They pulled all of the soy and cornmeal from the shelves at that particular market. Just to be safe.......
If it was an allergy to soy, the twins would have physical signs that would show up in a physical autopsy.
The cornmeal is very, very diluted. I am assuming cornmeal is like a porriage or Cream of Wheat type of food. Apparently if mixed with soy, it is very diluted so it can pass though the bottle. Apparently this is quite common in the West Indies and has been for generations.
Environmental tests were done on the home. No Carbon Monixide was detected.
Another factor that I just thought of, it could be mold that they were exposed to from birth. Mold would affect the central nervous system, and lead to problems in breathing.
So I guess we will wait and see.........I still think it is either food poisioning or the sodium from soy.
Aussiegran: I had no idea either that regular soy should not be used for children. So don't "fret" that you did not know. I guess the best thing to do is inform your daughter(if the kids are still infants) and other people you know that use soy for their infants, that they should ENSURE that they only use infant soy, instead of regular soy.
In 2003, a soy based infant formula that had 10 times less B1, was linked to the deaths of three infants and illness amongst several other babies. B1 is vital to brain development........
Severe deficiency of B-1, also known as thiamine, had caused the soy-fed babies to develop a form of beriberi disease, or a separate condition known as the Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, with potentially life-threatening damage to their nervous, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular systems.
This was in New York.
