prayer request for daughters

<< < (5/10) > >>

Linny:
Hi Kat,
Will certainly be praying for your precious daughters.
My 2 thoughts upon reading your post.
1) soy- it can be an allergen for many and it causes the symptoms you described. It is also imperative if you go off of dairy to make sure you do not substitute soy as it will be perceived by your body the same as dairy.
2) the first thing I'd get them both on-if they are not already- is a good digestive enzyme. I buy mine from a doc in OK but I'd also trust Dr. Mercola's if you need a good one. The ones that are shelf stable and don't require refrigeration are the best. I'd have them take about 2 or 3 with each meal for a while and see what happens.
Also, have they either one been on any antibiotics? If so, they need to replenish their good bacteria with a good probiotic regimen.

Hope everything is something easy to fix!!
Lin

Kat:

Kathy and Iris, I am very thankful to know you remember us in your prayers.

Lin, I've always considered your advice to be right where my thinking is too. We generally avoid soy products, so I'm thinking that is probably not it. We have been using digestive enzyme and I have found the Pearls product and they are taking them at this time, like you said they don't have to be in the refrig and also can be taken any time.

Both girls are doing good right now, with the one steering clear of the junk food and has not been sick. My older DD is taking a few supplements and something (or maybe everything) is helping. It's still a week before she has the colonoscope, but I will let you all know.

mercy, peace and love
Kat

One of my daughters has PCOS - so far hasn't found an effective treatment, but she is an adult in another city and I can't make her go to the doctor! But, while looking for and suggesting various ideas for her diet, I found a book, The Maker's Diet, which may be helpful for your daughters, Kat. The author had all sorts of serious digestive ailments, to the point of death, then either found this diet or was inspired by scripture (can't remember which). Anyway, it's not the Daniel diet, which is fruits and vegetables and water, but just foods recommended as "good" in the bible. Goat cheese and yogurt (probiotic), veggies, whole grains, fruits. No modern processed food. I don't have the book here, but remember finding it interesting. You may find a description of it on Amazon.

Hope this can help. Tammy, what medication did your daughter find that worked for her PCOS?

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.

Hi Kat. Thank you for sharing this. I showed my sister your post last night. Her daughter, my niece also took Accutane for acne five years ago. She is 28.Everything fell into place. The joint pain, vulnerability to infection. and a host of other maladys which a healthy young woman should not be experiencing.

At least now we know whats going on. thats half the battle. Both my sister and I were vehemently against her taking this drug but she was adamant and paid for it herself.  I understand, her skin was bad and this was the wonderdrug.

It worked like a charm, but at what price? God is in control and He prompted you to post this, I am sure.
We can just pray for each other and see where the road takes us.

blessings

Kat:


Hi Karen, thanks for mention of the book, I plan on getting it and this will give us some helpful info. This PCOS that you are referring to is an ovarian problem, right? What Chanel is experiencing is digestive, probably ulcerations in the intestinal tract.
We all take a vit-min and probiotics supplement for starters, she also takes slippery elm, cat's claw, gum guggul and aloe vera daily specifically for her condition, as research shows all of these are helpful with these digestive problems.

Jassy, what a mixed blessing, good that you way find the answer to your niece's problems, but sad to know she may also have such a serious condition. But yes knowing exactly what you are dealing with will help. But it also opens up a whole new can of worms, as the pharmaceutical treatment is really bad too. We intend to continue to use diet and supplements and feel this would be the best approach. We can certainly support each other in prayers.

mercy, peace and love
Kat
