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.
I join in earnest prayer for you!
Keep the faith, you have battalions of freeper prayer warriors at your side night and day.

May God shower His blessings abundantly on you, metmom, and heal you completely!
In the meantime, may your banquet be the peace that passes understanding.
In the Name of Jesus,
Amen!
I have a another possible line of investigation fro you. I’m just starting on it myself. The effect of yeast and mold in the body, Candida.
Also investigate the following herbal supplements: Chinese Wormwood (Artemisia annua), Noni juice and Cat’s claw (Uncaria tomentosa).
My heart does truly go out to!
I can’t even imagine the unspeakable torture that a person would go through with such a disorder.
I will lift up my prayers to the Lord for you right this minute!
Lifting up prayers for strength during this eating season FRiend : / as well as prayers for a safe and PRODUCTIVE trip to Boston.
May God bless.

Praying the Boston Dr.s will stay the course and resolve this problem very soon...and the Lord will sustain your determination to see this thru as you go.
Am very sorry this is something you have carried so long and the aggrivations that there seemingly are no concrete answers to correct this. So may the Lord truly give these Dr’s insight they might normally not consider and determine a way in which will truly ease this load you carry.
Safe journey as well Metmom...when in doubt..drive slow!
Praying for her recovery.
Our prayers are with you, metmom.
Thanks.
Sometimes it feels more like the valley of the shadow of death than just the wilderness, but I do keep following.
Yeast plays some little role in this but the problem is, I react to the acidophilus supplements.
I will investigate those other options when I get back.
LOL.. I like your tagline....
Prayers continue.
Blessings and healing to you.
Prayers up for your safe travels and for the medical team to be able to identify and cure your food/allergy ailment.
God works his wonders in mysterious ways. NEVER give up believing.
Never think you are alone.
And, by the way, I pray for you each day.
Prayers continue for your healing.
Thank you. I’m honored that you do and everyone else who does as well.
Prayers up!
PRAYERS AND BIG HUGS.
