Unwrapping 2012

Unwrapping 2012

Posted by on Jan 1, 2012 in Detox, essential oils, MTHFR, Tongue tie | 2 comments

Looking back over 2011 I see lots of victories that make me want to celebrate! At this time 1 year ago none of us could have fruit or high carb veggies without symptoms, W was on a low sulfur diet, little J had lots of digestive symptoms that we still hadn’t solved, and I was overwhelmed and discouraged by it all. Now here we are a year later. W has graduated from her low sulfur diet and now only has to be careful of a couple of foods. Little J is now taking biokult, on a Low Oxalate Diet and so much healthier. My health has gone up and down but I have faith that I will get closer to health this year than I was last year.

We have been on GAPS for 2 years. I’m going to do a series of posts on each of us and our results from the 2 years. I was trying to do one on all of us but it got too long and complicated. So I will start with my eldest since she has the best story of us all. W has been gluten free since she turned 2 and has always followed a restricted diet trying to minimize her reactions to foods and keep her on an even keel. We followed the Specific Carbohydrate diet the year she was 2 until she was a little over 3. She saw lots of improvements on SCD but life was still crazy. She didn’t sleep and was very fussy and clingy. I now know that she had silent reflux that kept her...
