Well I've tended to be kind of private about family matters, but it's high time that I seeked your prayers and any advice would also be appreicated.

My oldest daughter (27) has been dealing with what we thought was a case of stomach ulcers for years. She does not have insurance, so has never been diagnosed, just self treated with OTC stuff. But recently we saw a TV advertisement by a lawyer who was advising those who had taken Accutane and had developed certain diseases (Crohn's and ulerative colitis) to contact him concerning a lawsuit that was being filed. Well this set off alarms to us, because she had taken Accutane as a teenager for acne. We did a little research on these diseases and she can relate most of her symptoms as matching with them. Realizing the seriousness of the condition she might have we are now in the process of getting testing done to diagnose what is wrong. She will have an endoscopy/colonoscopy next week. On top of that she had already determined she was gluten intolerant by remove wheat form her diet and now whenever any slips by she gets sick. That is also getting checked. But just wanted to ask for your prayers for her.

My youngest daughter (20) has also been dealing with some type of digestive upset. A few months ago she began having bouts with nausea and vomiting. The first time we just assumed it was a stomach bug, because it seemed very similar. But then it happened a few days later, than again a couple of weeks later. So we went to the Dr and he tested for this and that and it all came back neg, stopping short of a colonoscopy. We were thinking that maybe it was just a bout with something and it was over. She has been trying to stick to a healthy diet, because she seem to recall eating fast food before a couple of these episodes. Well this past weekend (a month after her last bout) it happened again. I was out of town for the weekend and she ate pizza and chicken nuggets out of the freezer and was sick all day Sunday, but was okay by Monday morning. Btw others ate the same thing and did not get sick. We are assuming that there must be a connection with the junk/fast food that is causing the problem. Now I know that processed foods are not good for you, but what is in them that could be causing this terrible reaction. We realize that she needs to avoid these type foods now, but anyone that may know anything about this I would be glad to hear from you.

Just wanted to have your prayers and input as I know that in a "multitude of counselors there is safety" and I know there is much wisdom here.

My thanks and appreciation in advance for all your prayer and to any who can contribute any advice.

Hi Kat, familiar with some things you mentioned. This past winter I had nausea for over 2 months and lost weight. Sometimes it was just a hint of nausea but it was still there. I started taking some old nexium I had and that helped for the time the pill was working but finally it did go away on it's own. It didn't seem related to diet but I was more comfortable eating fruit than anything else. I couldn't even look at some foods. The Dct. said it was a bad virus. Of course it's always a virus!
My son has ulcerative colitis (what a horrible disease and no cure) He never took Acutane though. The Dct.'s think it might have been water he drank in a stream in Canada. This kind is definitely a virus, not a parasite, that just doesn't go away. There is new medicine for this though. It consists of a 4 hour hospital stay every two months and getting the new drug intraveniously. It appears to be helping. He is not allowed to drink tap water even though our city has an outstanding report. I do not either because of my malady. Distilled water is the best.
I will remember your daughters in prayer as there are many illnesses that are hard to diagnose.

Hi Judy,

Well I can certainly sympathize with your son's condition, since my daughter is going through this. Thank you for your prayers and I'll remember him in mine. I never thought about the water. Will have to get distilled water and see if that helps. Thanks for your input, everything I can learn now is good.

Have you thought about contacting Dr. Steger? He might have a real good idea about any environmental toxins or nutritional deficiencies your daughters might have. After watching the video at the conference that guy sure seems a whiz with the body and it's systems. And prayers for God to give you wisdom.

Kat · « **Reply #5 on:** July 28, 2010, 07:43:21 PM »

Hi Arion,

Yes I have thought about Dr. Steger. But I know he is absolute staunch in his position about diet and he believes in cutting out all wheat and dairy, only a very small amount of meat, only organic fruits and vegetables etc. I agree with that mostly, but it is really hard to do, we are already doing the best we can with that. But it may come to paying him a visit, because from what I have read the meds for Crohn's is really bad for you. I have done a lot of reading on herbal supplements and right now she is on some of these and it has been helping. But thanks for the advice, we'll just have to see as things go along.

Dear Kathy
I value that you have trusted us here with the fragile and upsetting circumstances you are caused of God to be experiencing right now. It is so difficult when our loved ones, especially our children suffer. A loving Parent would a hundred times over, in a heartbeat, step in to rather take the suffering and protect our children no matter how old they are.

My husband Abrie, last year, had an horrific episode of a form digestive illness that your account makes me recall. It re-occurred this year and he had to take two courses of antibiotics.

After suffering the effects of this illness, we decided that we should take a natural anti-parasite supplement called Wormwood. We all take this supplement now more as a preventative measure rather than a cure.

To assist recovery through efficient defense against whatever has upset your dear girls, not enough can be said to improve the immunity systems of the body through whatever natural means available. Also be sure to keep the flora that is in the intestinal track, well supplied through nutrients and other immune system building supplements. A health specialist will best be able to direct you to the required products in your Country.

It comforts me to know of your faith and that Spiritually, I know you know that God is in control, to the better, most beneficial outcome for you and your dear family. Please keep us posted. Hugs to your girls and to you......

Joel and Nan, your prayers are greatly appreciated.

Arc, knowing other peoples experiences is a help. I had been studying herbal remedies for a number of years now, there is so much to learn. But for a while have directed my focus towards the digestinal tract and I have found a lot of herbs that are time honored in there helpfulness in that area. I have stocked up on quite a few that the older DD (Chanel) is taking daily. I learned the need for flora/probiotics a while ago and we have been taking those for some time now. With the change in diet and the supplements she is doing better, but we are very interested in knowing what she actually has and will let everybody know.

My younger DD (Tyne) is what we are more perplex about. We have really tried to consider all she was doing as well as eating to find a connection with her bouts of nausea and vomiting, so far all we can determine is maybe the junk/fast food. So I think she knows to stay away from that stuff now. She is going to the University in a couple weeks and I just don't like to think of her being away from home dealing with this. But if she will stick to a good diet (she had been eating pretty poorly), well maybe now she will be okay.

Just talking about this is helpful in many ways, thanks for all the input.

mercy, peace and love

Hi Kat,

Sorry about the condition of Your Daughters. Hope your able to find the CAUSE of their symptoms. Removing all Starches and Sugars might help. It seems that wheat Gluten is almost in everything. I tried to find a Gluten free bread in the food stores, can't find one. Recently(May 1, 2010) I started limiting my Carbohydrates and lost 19 pounds, also did a total Colon cleansing(5 days, no food), only Amino Acids, the Colon Cleansing Formula and Juice. I lost seven pounds and 2 1/2 inches off my waist during those five days. It's unbelievable what comes out of the body, the accumulated sludge off the intestinal walls and Colon. Your Daughters might have Food Allergies. I think Dr. Steger is pretty much spot on, except for the protein intake. Proteins and Fats keep you from getting Hungry and delay Hunger. Proteins, Fats and Vegetables as a primary source of food intake is a good way to eat without getting hungry. No processed in a box foods, no fast foods, try only one starch a day at the maximum. In your Daughters case, for now try no starches at all, especially pasta, bread, noodles, muffins, rice, corn, etc.

My Prayers go out in your behalf, also I enclosed a web-site link for Natural Source Products. I think Ron Kosloff might be able to help you. His articles on Nutrition might give you some ideas on what to do. Also I've included His phone number, He's a very nice and approachable person. See Below !

Hi Kat and all family members

Here is something that everyone can do that is not expensive,and it worked
for me,its called the" Master cleanse" which is a lemonade diet and it
consites of organic lemons, grade B maple syrup,Cayenne pepper,and water.
there is lots of info on the web,the book I read was-The complete Master cleanse"
by Tom woloshyn.
You need to do a 10 day diet in order to get results,I did a 14day and 4mos later
a 17day diet and can say it works,here is somethings about the diet.

The master cleanse diet is actually a detox diet. In fact, it is more like a fast. The master cleanse diet is explained in great detail in the book The Master Cleanser, by Stanley Burroughs, its originator. You may wish to get hold of it as it provides information about the techniques in fulfilling the lemonade diet plan.

The master cleanse is specifically designed to help you cleanse your body of toxins and not directly a weight loss program. However, by removing toxins, you not only lose weight but can also alleviate other chronic symptoms that you have been experiencing.

The master cleanse is great for the prevention of digestive diseases and disorders. The reason that this system seems to work so well is because most disease begin in the intestines, which is exactly the area that lemon cleansing targets. It is also a quick way to reduce your weight or control weight gain.

With the master cleanse diet, your kidneys and digestive system can be completely cleansed upon completion of the program; as will all cells and organs be purified. Any waste and calcifications or hardened areas within the joints and muscles will be flushed and pressure upon the nerves, arteries and blood vessels will be alleviated. Body fat is also lost during this process. Your bloodstream gets rejuvenated along with your overall appearance. You will find that the elasticity of your skin improves with the lemonade diet. Lemon is said to have the natural ability to act as a loosening and cleansing agent.

PS.What I wanted to add was another benefit was losing weight,
I mean I started at 200lbs and lost 40lbs on my first try of 14days
and like the book says your body knows what your weight should be,
I am 5' 10" and my weight is 160lbs and as long as I eat the right stuff
I stay at 160 and it doesn't matter if I eat more or less it stays around
the same.I use to have chest pains ,my knees hurt,my back,light headed,
stomach pains,bladder-not being able to hold to long,and know anything
is working like it should.

Hope the info will be helpful.

Hi Samson,

I have been working to improve my diet for some time now and I have been 'preaching' to them about the benefits of eating better and up until recent with not much results. But now they are forced to make some dramatic changes because they have to and it is helping.

Someone has mentioned to me about gallbladder problems causing nausea and that got me to thinking. I had my gallbladder removed when I was pretty young (25-26) and maybe that has something to do with my youngest DD's problems. Maybe it's the 'fatty' food that is triggering her bouts with nausea and vomiting. Will need to check into that more.

Walt, I know that master cleanse would help most anybody. I certainly need to seriously think of doing it.

Kat,
I'm so sorry to hear that your girls are having these problems. Please know that your family is in my prayers and thoughts. As a mother, I can certainly empathize with you! My daughter has PCOS and I knew something wasn't right for quite a long time, but was told repeatedly that it was "hormones" and she would "grow out of it". I know this is hard for doctors to understand, but there are some things a mother just knows about her child! After 3 yrs we finally were sent to a wonderful doctor who took one look at her and said "I don't even have to do the blood tests...she has PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)! We may have gotten the run around and certainly we saw doctors that I would never take her back to, but here we are 2 years later and Bailea is doing well on her medication and is pain-free for the most part. I think I was just so thankful to finally have a diagnosis...at least now we know what we're up against! Fear of the unknown is the worst!
Kat, you recently helped me with something very scary in my life and I wish I could return the favor to you with words of wisdom or sound medical advice, but my prayers and love are all I have to give. Just know that I'm thinking of you.

Love,
Tammy

Kat · « **Reply #17 on:** July 31, 2010, 01:39:37 PM »

Onelovedread and Tammy, knowing you are praying is a great blessing and comfort. And yes not knowing is hard, because you don't know what it is or how best to treat it. But hopefully we will know soon with Chanel anyway. She recently read that aloe is good for ulcers and started taking that and think it may already be helping.

But it is a good thing to seek out one another for help and advice, that is the way that God uses us to give and receive blessings. I know that there are many that are praying that I am unaware of (lukers and people that just don't state they are as I do a lot of times). I just thank God for all of my brothers and sisters known to me or unknown, it's all the same.

mercy, peace and love
