Klaudia - Clean Bill of Health!!

 

Clean Bill of Health!!

Well it has taken us over 18 months… but Klaudia finally got a ‘clean bill of health’ from the Doctor!! YEH!!!

As previously stated, we finally made the decision to remove the last remaining grains from K’s diet to see if it would help with her on-going tummy cramps, upset tummy, bad nappy rash and broken sleep.  I am so happy to report that by day 3, K had stopped complaining of any cramps/soreness and has since slept through the night (fingers crossed!!). K’s ‘upset tummy’ nappies have definitely slowed down and with that I can happily report that her nappy rash, although not completely gone, is well and truly on the mend!!

With making the decision to make K’s diet completely grain free, we felt the need to advise her GP and also get a checkup since the total diet ‘overhaul’.   On arrival at the Doctors, the response was completely overwhelming!! Every staff member that was there could not believe Klaudia today, was the same child who last visited only three months ago!! Usually, Klaudia would just sit or even sleep on my lap while we waited. Instead, Klaudia was joining in with Cayden to deliver a ‘puppet show’, reading books out loud and playing chasing (which had to be stopped). Whilst with the Doctor, he commented on how happy and active she was (as she proceeded to ‘hide’ in his bookshelf) and how her overall appearance seemed to be ‘glowing with health’!! He gave her a quick check of all her normal offending body parts – eyes, ears, nose, throat and chest and all were absolutely perfect!!!! To be honest, some days I feel a bit overwhelmed with the effort that I put into K’s diet, but that visit just reconfirmed how much it is worth it!! Regarding her ‘upset tummy’ symptoms, he believed things were still recovering and may take a few months before all symptoms disappear. With all these fabulous outcomes, we decided to continue on our current diet plan and hold off from visiting the dietician.  The plan is to reassess in another three months, or earlier if we come up against any problems!!

Best news ever!!!

I really can’t believe that despite all the antibiotics, creams and modern practices available, FOOD was both the problem and the fix!!  I guess my message here is to consider everything when facing battles with your body…..!!
