the specialist at our local childrens hospital told us our daughter in no way had issues with gluten as her ttg was normal the two times it was tested, and the fact she was growing

well we decided to trust mommy instinct, and 2 days gluten free i have my happy, spunky, funny 2 yr old back, no 2 hr tantrums, no clinging to my side

we are going back to our original gastro, he suggested gluten-free no matter what the tests said, and he was right!

I don't care what a test says...it can be wrong! If she's better off of it, keep it that way! Glad you trusted yourself!

well, day 3 gluten free, And all I have to say is who is this child? Can't wait for our appointment with our original gastro because that man needs a great big hug. He is the only one who never brushed us off with toddler diahrrea and withholding stool and a phase

any parents in Vancouver b.c. Need to see Dr mark riley in north van

Our youngest has a little lump above her belly button. I asked her ped about it and she listened to it with the stethoscope and told me what it was but forgot the name. She said it's nothing to worry about but I keep a close eye on it.

Yay for everyone trusting their mommy instincts! If I didn't trust my mommy instincts I would have two very sick girlies right now!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
