Any ideas for my 2 yo?

[Guest guest]

Hi.

My dd was just diagnosed with gastroparesis (weak or paralyzed

stomach in which the food will just sit in her gut for 10 or more

hours and come back up undigested - even raw grassfed 24 hour yoghurt

will stay in her gut for 4 hours). She has been on the SCD for

months, but

now I understand why she continues to vomit and her bacteria/yeast

problems will not subside. I figured out the GP a few months ago, but

it took me a while to find a doc to take her health issues seriously

(her teeth stopped coming in last March and her hair is very thin due

to the vomiting and horrible appetite).

I tried a number of natural appetite stimulants and herbs to increase

motility without success. This doc wanted to put her on reglan and I

agreed (as much as I hated to) because she has been losing weight.

Initially he put her on a regular med with the sugar which made her

yesst rashes open up and weep. I switched her to a compounded version

that was made with methylcellulose and I hope she will be tolerating

this better.

I believe in WP eating and saw Dr. Schmid in CT. He kept her on the

24 hour yoghurt and added raw organ caps, high vitamin butter oil,

and high vitamin fish oil three times per day. She has been on this

regimen for three months and continues to lose weight. I know that

properly made breads and carbs would help her to gain weight, but

eating them makes her yeast rashes weep and she vomits even more. My

guess is that these feed the yeast in her gut and must make the gut

irritable and more prone to vomiting and pain.

I don't know what else to do right now. I know that placing her on

something like pediasure would be nutritionally awful and she would

vomit more because of the sugar content. I'm hoping that the reglan

will help her gut to move enough that I might be able to try

glyconutritional with her again. The first time it would just sit in

her stomach and cause increased vomiting.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I've learned so many wonderful things

about nurtition through WP and Nutrition and Physical Degeneration,

but wish I could nourish my daughter.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
