prayer request for daughters
Nan:
Will pray for your daughters.
Kat:
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

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,
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.
