We're Working On It…

healing our bodies that is.

In the past I have mentioned getting Seth tested for food allergies/sensitivities and overall health using BioMeridian testing.

This visit with Miss Nancy was Seth’s third visit. We also got Daddy to agree to be tested as he had some questions he wanted answered. 🙂

Seth’s inflammation has been greatly reduced by following a pretty strict grain-free, dairy-free, soy and peanut-free diet and by reducing his sugar intake. There is still a little bit of healing that needs to take place in his digestive tract, but it is very greatly improved.

There were a few things that surprised me with Seth’s results and those were some food sensitivities that showed up. Quinoa is not good for him at all right now and berries, apples, flax seed and chia seed are out now as well. I think these are because we have been using all of these quite frequently since our diet change in January.

That means no more of his favorite dessert, “PB” and J Ice Cream, because it has strawberries in it. 🙁 I will also have to rework our Rich Chocolate Cupcake recipe so that we use a different flour than quinoa.

Hopefully by avoiding these things for now, we can get his gut healed and he will be able to eat them again in the future.

Ben’s questions didn’t get the answers he wanted, but he was happy to get answers. He has been dealing with pityriasis versicolor for a while. Last time he had a bad case he went to see his PCP who came in the room, said “take this script” and walked out. Ben was not impressed. He decided to do things my way this time. 🙂

Ben recieved the recommendation to cut gluten, dairy, corn and peanuts while we attempt to balance his gut’s microbiome again. He has quite a bit of intestinal inflammation and signs of a yeast imbalance. We will see what happens. 🙂 I’m hoping that he will see changes right away that will encourage him to keep going. He really loves his dairy products though…

Cameron is walking all over the place! I guess he has to graduate to toddlerhood now. 🙁 His one year molars are coming in as well, so he has been a little cranky and clingy. I’ll take the extra cuddles though. 🙂

I’d better go get cleaning, next week you get to see how much better our bedrooms are looking after this momma in declutter mode gets done with them. 🙂

What are you doing this weekend?
We have membership class at church and some stuff to do around the house. Hopefully the piano room door gets painted this weekend.
