Our cute Kylianne has been in a pickle lately. She has not been able to gain weight or really grow much. Now that she is walking people think she must be like 8 months…rather than the 14 months that she is.
So what to do? The pediatrician’s advice? Put OIL and BUTTER on everything. The other problem? Constant diarrhea. What was the pediatrician’s solution – the brat diet: banana, applesauce, toast, and…whatever the r is (brain freeze).
No improvement. The girl has been BELOW “THE CHART” , like -10 or so for awhile. Her height is a decent 20%.
So, luckily we have the BEST doctor ever – that is super knowledgable about nutrition, and does allergy/sensitivity testing and TREATMENT (NAET).
So we had her tested – I was the surrogate tester. (so far) She is allergic to Milk/Dairy, Wheat, Gluten, Yeast, Vinegar, Cold, Candida, and something called “Mylocin” or something like that. That one is the corker. The other ones – no PROBLEM, since I went through all that with
The Mylocin one means that she can’t have any RAW fruits or veggies (which she loves), nothing from a can, even if I canned it (tomato sauce, beans) and nothing that was frozen (veggies, fruits, meats). So FOR NOW, until we get her treated for that, Cooking is going to be CREATIVE. I will essentially have to cook things special for her (2 separate meals 3 times a day). I usually cook her veggies and then give her egg, at this point, and rice, rice cakes, and rice crackers.
Also, since she can’t have anything “cold” because of her allergy (which I just read about in the
The goal? Solid stools with less frequency (now they are 4 to 5 times/day – not at ALL solid)
So, while all that seems a little overwhelming for the time being, I am SOOOOO glad to know what is going one. And if she has results with NAET like her Brother TYLER (was on 7 meds for asthma, now needs NO MEDS and RARELY has any problems.)
I really really thank everyday that my cousin Angelle told me about NAET!!! Thanks Angelle!

My Jane is having constant diarrhea too, but it was from the antibiotics from her ear infection. Also, apparently my chunker eats enough to keep herself on the chart. But the constant diaper changing is horrible. I hope your poor girl gets better soon and all your research pays off!
Oh my goodness. That sounds rough! Poor little girl! It sounds like you are very knowledgeable. I hope that it passes too!
Girl! That is a handful. I'm so sorry for the difficulty, but glad you are getting it figured out. Miss you guys.
Whoa - I didn't even understand half those words! What a hassle! But I agree, knowing what is going on is huge. Good luck!
Good luck with this, Bonnie - if you'd like, I have some great gluten-free, dairy-free recipes from when Sam was on that diet...
