prayer request for daughters

(1/10) > >>

Kat:

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.

Kat:

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.
