Metmom has had allergies and food allergies her entire life. In the last few years they have gotten steadily and progressively worse. Foods have been dropping out of her diet until she reached the point she is at now and can only eat rice, chicken, lamb, and venison. Anything else causes her to react rather destructively, debilitatingly.
The problem is that the repeated continual exposure to the few remaining foods, could lead to a sensitivity to those as well, which has just happened to two foods she had been safely eating since October.
There are options for nutrition should she start to react to all foods, but they are used only in the most dire situations. She's concerned about reaching that point--and frankly has been feeling more than a little discouraged by all such.
She has undergone extensive medical testing which has all been inconclusive. Almost everything comes back normal or negative, and the few things that she does test positive for arent what causes her the most problems.
She is attempting to get into a regional medical center for more specialized medical evaluation to see if they can determine the cause and possible treatment, if any exists.
She has been prayed for and anointed numerous times over the years, however, she would appreciated continued prayer for complete healing.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND HER PLIGHT with as much empathy as you can. She's been through a 1,001 suggestions and tried a LOT of different things. She's been through the Henry Wright seminar and prayers extensively. I don't think she is quite up to handling any more suggestions currently. Those who've been through such can understand such a feeling. She just greatly would appreciate your understanding and PARTICULARLY YOUR CARING PRAYERS.
This summary is per my understanding and might be stated somewhat differently were she writing it herself. I believe she'd affirm the truth of what I've said but these are essentially my words.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PRAYERS.
Done most of that a long time ago, but thank you for thinking of it. Many people don’t realize what and how much can be absorbed through the skin.
That is actually the way I get my Benadryl. There’s something in most of the OTC forms of it that bothers me, so I’ve taken to using the liquid gel that’s supposed to help with poison ivy. I don’t react to it, which helps keep me from feeling worse, and it does help. I can tell by how broken out I am.
Thanks for the link.
And good night. It’s way late here on the east coast.
Thanks again, all.
What are some of the symptoms? Maybe if another FReeper has had something similar and found an answer or if a medically trained FReeper is out there, maybe it would ring a bell.
Thanks for your caring.
I don’t know if MetMom wants to list her symptoms or not.
She listed a lot of what she’s tried, up thread.
Yes, I definitely understand. Hope she can get some answers soon. I haven’t had experience with any mystery ailment personally, but I know through family members how frustrating it can be to never find an answer to what is ailing you. There’s a good show on Discovery Health called Mystery Diagnosis. It’s amazing what agony/misery people can go through for years before getting an answer.
I’m praying for you MetMom.
In Jesus’ Holy Name.
Amen.
INDEED.
So I somewhat understand. I did rotation diet and many other avenues. It took me a dozen doctors to get to the one I have now. If you have been with one too long with no improvement I hate to say Its time to check for a new one. I am only going by my experience. This may not be the case with you. But I was really sick before this one. This doctor I have now has caused so much improvement. 15 years with him. Changed my life. It was terrible. I hope this helps. I know everybody has a strong opinion. You try to be nice and they still do not understand. So above all I will pray. May He bless You! Praise Jesus!
WONDERFUL ATTITUDE AND EXPERIENTIAL CARING.
THX THX.
"Taro Dream Inc. and BioNative Nutrition and Research Founder Pamela Noeau Day began her pursuit in 1988 for a hypoallergenic food out of necessity to save the life of her highly allergic infant daughter. This "staff of life" of the Hawaiian people not only saved her daughter's life but has been the answer for thousands of people with digestive challenges, celiac disease and food allergies."
Thanks for telling us. We have to pray together always. I have been there took years. Frustration upon more. Going to bed. It is getting near 3:00 am on east Coast. I got a indy Brother in the Lord helping me move more in morning after Church. Still got buyers on monday coming. Thanks again Q!
Heading to bed myself.
Blessings,
- THE LORICA OF ST. PATRICK: Apostle to the Emerald Isle -
I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of the Invocation of the Trinity:
I believe in the Trinity in Unity
The Creator of the Universe.
I bind to myself today
The virtue of the Incarnation of Christ with His Baptism,
The virtue of His crucifixion with His burial,
The virtue of His Resurrection with His Ascension,
The virtue of His coming on the Judgement Day.
I bind to myself today
The virtue of the love of seraphim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the hope of resurrection unto reward,
In prayers of Patriarchs,
In predictions of Prophets,
In preaching of Apostles,
In faith of Confessors,
In purity of holy Virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.
I bind to myself today
The power of Heaven,
The light of the sun,
The brightness of the moon,
The splendour of fire,
The flashing of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,
The depth of sea,
The stability of earth,
The compactness of rocks.
I bind to myself today
God’s Power to guide me,
God’s Might to uphold me,
God’s Wisdom to teach me,
God’s Eye to watch over me,
God’s Ear to hear me,
God’s Word to give me speech,
God’s Hand to guide me,
God’s Way to lie before me,
God’s Shield to shelter me,
God’s Host to secure me,
Against the snares of demons,
Against the seductions of vices,
Against the lusts of nature,
Against everyone who meditates injury to me,
Whether far or near,
Whether few or with many.
I invoke today all these virtues
Against every hostile merciless power
Which may assail my body and my soul,
Against the incantations of false
prophets,
Against the black laws of heathenism,
Against the false laws of heresy,
Against the deceits of idolatry,
Against the spells of women, and smiths, and druids,
Against every knowledge that binds the soul of man.
Christ, protect me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against death-wound,
That I may receive abundant reward.
Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ at my right, Christ at my left,
Christ in the fort,
Christ in the chariot seat,
Christ in the pupi deck,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of the Invocation of the Trinity,
I believe in the Trinity in Unity
The Creator of the Universe.
Amen
There's also jerusalem artichoke which is a sunflower root that grows prolifically in the north and it's not as starchy as potatoes. It can be eaten raw or boiled. Once you plant it you'll always have it.
There's yucca root which you can bake like potatoes.
Papaya is an excellent aide to digestion as it contains enzymes which will digest food for you- I use it on baby birds with slow crops to move the food along before it sours the crop.
Absolutely will pray for our sister to be healed of her affliction.
My son is seriously allergic to: wheat, eggs, milk, soy, corn, peanuts, walnuts besides many environmental allergies.
By the grace of God we found out about ALPHA ENF, wow what a breakthrough. Not tasty, but it is good nutrition without the drastic effects the allergies carry.
Sorry, if I am not observing your request. Some one dared to help us a few years ago and I would be negligent if I would not offer the same to another.
Prayers and God’s blessings to MetMom!
Prayers up for metmom’s healing.
I will pray for your healing. Something obviously is askew in your body and there is no doubt help but what????? of course you have been diligent in your research. Will pray maybe some freeper might have some additional information that will help you.
Here locally the natural healers put a lot of stock in thyroid & other gland functions & appropriate natural supplements to counter. The Naturopathic Physician do the best work here and the chinese healers are few & far between but they are amazing.
Keep us posted.. and thanks for the ping/thread quix
