Amazing- I cant wait for that December talk then. Can test for both my daughter -crohns and son- UC. 

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time and for your input 🙂

Thanks for the response – so i guess will start by asking for an iron panel with ferritin and vitamin B12.  

Wondering what is the accuracy of the KBMO food sensitivity test. So much mixed reviews on sensitivity tests. But in concept like that idea cause for them to get convinced in eliminating something they kind of need evidence. Or rather it helps in convincing and in commitment. 

Thankfully he is not in a flare and his calprotectin is within the normal phase. But will look into some of the other suggestions to help further support. For example focus on butyrate was a new one for me. 

Probiotics I have been told that Saccharomyces Boulardii is good for UC particularly since we cant get the Visbiome here since it needs refrigeration. Or should i try to seek one of the other strains you mentioned instead?

Vitamin D and Zinc I keep following up with testing and supplement accordingly. 

Thanks

Hi thanks for this- so simplified. I actually just got back my sons blood test results from yesterday and would love your insight. Because from the results I am doubting anemia now- maybe? But I feel something is off.
Just a little background – he is 15, has UC and is currently on remicade.

Hi

I am so sorry for the late response, but honestly been preoccupied with the news. Its been tough to disconnect. 
I will be passing along all the great tips and recommendations – I am sure they will appreciate this. And I agree about the culinary lessons – much needed for these teens. Even learning how to read labels and buy ingredients. 

As usual- thank you

Looking forward to diving into adrenal health and further understanding adrenal fatigue. Thanks! 

[toujan]

 – its just an unknown world to many – we observe many people being diagnosed with either or without any proper understanding. Not realizing that actions today will help them avoid it in the future. 
Thanks!

Happy New Year! 
From your list: 
-Best tips & strategies for healthy ageing & anti-ageing – for example: what are the most important lab markers to check on a regular basis?

looking at dementia- alzheimers  
• Also from your list: your supplement regime 🙂

And generally more supplement education. What can be taken without testing – what requires testing, etc… 
• Hair & nail health. Also bone and joint health 
• For those that exercise: understanding protein shakes, muscle recovery & electrolyte supplementation, etc…   

Thank you!

Thanks for your response- But yes I felt there was some technology glitch. This is alot to take in – i think will need a couple of days to look at everything and make notes. Cause so far we are looking at crohns, hormone imbalances and thyroid. That is a tough list. 

In regards to her cycle – sample was collected a day before her period. 
As for the asthma- no nothing apparent. 
I did actually ask then for all the thyroid panel tests and did mention that I am willing to pay if the insurance doesn’t cover. But they only ended up with the above. But I don’t mind doing any other necessary tests. 

Bernadette truly thanks. Your support is greatly appreciated. You are helping me help my daughter heal and that is priceless!

Hi 🙂 Not sure if you got to see my response -any feedback?

[toujan]

Thanks for your response. I am only giving her the DigestGold from Enzymedica and sage tea. Honestly didn’t know what else to give.

Unfortunately still didn’t go through the thyroid course properly but will do especially that both of my siblings have thyroid issues too. So will get to that- just had a lot going on. 

For her diet- have to say previously she was better. I do not use refined sugar – use coconut sugar or honey. Only use olive oil or coconut oil at home. Use only Tamari or coconut aminos. Gluten at home I only offer her sourdough bread. But of course when she goes out or we order in that is the problem. For diary she avoids milk, cream, yoghurt- and only does the cheeses that the SCD previously approved. She knows her body doesn’t really like dairy. But you know for a teenager when the actual tests don’t show that they are glucose/lactose tolerant it is hard for them to comprehend why they need to stop having all those things. 

Attached are her results. When we do more tests we find out that there is more to deal with… like her hormones issue too. Keeps piling up. I just have been in circles for years. Thank you.

Hi – thanks for checking in. During the summer she did see the Dr. and she did some tests for her: 
thyroid- all good no issues thankfully 
but her hormones were little off- progesterone (ECLIA) was 0.8 
                                                         prolactin (ECLIA) 20.1 
                                                         testosterone (ECLIA) 0.67 
She was given some supplements accordingly Evening primrose, ovacure, premEeze. Some were too harsh on her gut and bothered her. 

As for her ferritin – 8 and iron in blood 22. So Dr. arranged for her an iron infusion. 

Unfortunately last week we found out that she is no longer in remission with her crohns and her inflammation is up. She was on medication but her body was creating antibodies against it. Calprotectin is up- I did ask for h.phylori but waiting for result too. She had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done and ulcers are back. 

So from summer till now it’s been busy. She just started her DP1 in school and I think her stress is not helping. She is not willing to go back to her SCD way of living either. 

Thats our update. Thanks!

You are absolutely correct in calling it a dairy debate cause it is. And I surely was curious to hear your point of view so appreciate you sharing. 

So Intolerance is a straight forward diagnosis but the sensitivity part is a bit trickier since it does not clearly show in a test. Can you discuss further sensitivities? the signs, how quick they show and whether it can change or go away. Thanks 

[toujan]

Then sausages are on my shopping list for this weekend – but yes so many products with a lot of nasties. 

And yes that is exactly what I was asking about pertaining dairy. Honestly tired of reading/listening to so many conflicting information.
