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

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.

Would you kindly share where you get the sausages from? Been having a hard time finding clean ones. Thanks 🙂
Labneh is on your list? Though its dairy. Please elaborate.
And meal planning for breakfast is a good idea – i usually plan dinner but time to plan breakfast too.
Thanks!

So been going through the gut modules, which are amazing! Love the way you break it down and explain things, and I have just finished the dysfunctions modules- what i know so far:
• she has Hypochlorhydria for sure- so many reasons for me to confirm! And yes anytime i discussed reflux and GERD to Dr…. his solution was nexium (which i am not a fan of)
• need to consider testing for thyroid and h. pyloriI always knew other stuff are happening in there even though her calprotectin is maintained through medication, currently at 15. So lets see….

Thank you! And yes haven’t gotten the chance yet to check out the gut health masterclass but will do first before asking any more questions 🙂 As for the book- actually she was on the SCD for a nearly a year when she was first diagnosed but it wasn’t very sustainable for her… her emotional well being was also a factor to consider.
And will give the liver a go 🙂 thanks again!
