done
I will follow your doctors orders and pray for you.
Wow! What a story for Good Friday! It sounds as if you are being lifted up on the cross. I will send up prayers for your healing & strength as well as strength for your family and wisdom for your doctors.
Prayers for you, your health and your family, NCSEADOG.
Prayers for you and your family.
Be positive and take everyday as a positive. I think that and prayers help a lot.
I will pray for you. Can you take sea salts or kosher salts OK?
Get at least two other medical opinions
By His stripes we are healed. And that is why we rejoice!
You have a remarkable doctor, one who knows the great I AM is the ultimate Physician.
May He bless you and your family with your healing!
You have my prayers, but also look into ‘alternative’ medicine. If your doctor has said there’s nothing more his medicine can do, it seems to me you’d owe it to yourself, and that he’d be willing to discuss the things you find in your reading with you. Your library probably has a copy of Balch’s book Prescription for Nutritional Healing - it’s written by an MD and is a fairly good place to get started. Fasting goes along with prayer, as you know - maybe try one day a week for a little while, if that fits with his advice.
Father I lift up my Brother in Christ to you. Ease his burden or give him strength and endurance to the service of Your will. I lift up his family to you and ask for Your comfort in their time of struggle. Amen
Please keep us updated so we can pray accordingly.
Prayers being said.
Perhaps metmom can give you some advice and show you some of her old threads. She was dealing with heavy duty food allergies and it turned out she did have a diagnosis; I think a mast cell problem (autoimmune).
Metmom; perhaps you have a word of advice for NCSEADOG?
I’ll pray that you find appropriate medical treatment.
Tomorrow, call the patient intake number for Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and talk to one of their counsellors. The doctors that are there are the best in the world. The counsellor can also talk finances with you so you know if it financially something you can do. Please don’t think you can’t go because of money. Work with them on it.
Once you are properly diagnoses, they devise treatment plans you can do with your hometown doctor. You go back and see them maybe once a year, depending on the complexity of your problem. They don’t work God-style miracles, but they are pretty close!
Get checked out for mastocytosis or Mast Cell Activation Disorder, while you’re at it.
Do you live near the Boston area?
Try oatmeal, although it is rumored to have a small amount of iodine in it, it’s supposed to have some limited anti-histamine effects.
I’ve found some good information on the nutritional value of various foods at this website, but cannot figure out how to bring those particular pages up without doing a google search of the term *nutritional value of (whatever the food you’re looking for is*.

Iodine allergies are not uncommon, although I don’t know about them being related to the source.
Chlorine and iodine bother me but not to the degree which you are dealing with/
I will certainly pray for you as a fellow food allergy/intolerance sufferer.
Thanks for the ping, pandy.
As a word of encouragement I have a close friend who, due to liver problems, has been on a raw food diet for years. She lives on various juices and salads, a few cold pressed oils, and a few other things like bee pollen.
She has lived for many years on this and while it is no picnic she often has decent energy, makes it out to church each week, etc.
Happy to pray for you as well.
If your doc didn't know that, it might be time to find a new one.
Prayers lifted for you, but I will also second the advice to seek second opinions, and alternative therapies, and add a ping to FReeper metmom, who will probably have more serious allergy information than most general practitioners!
Metmom! as soon as I saw this post I thought of you. Hope no news on your front has been good news!
May God strengthen you both, and bring guidance to your medical teams.
Tatt
Our Father, who is in heaven, hollowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
There are no allergies in heaven, so I know it is God's will to heal you of this.
freepmail me anytime, for prayer, encouragement, questions, ect.
Prayers for you.
