She has the problem with eating but I'm able to get her to eat certain foods but thats it. Have you tried making shakes for him in the blender .They have receipe for shakes with proteins in them. I'll try to find the receipes I had for my daughter. Good LuckSandria <lphoenixstar@...> wrote: Hello I joined a couple days ago.

Dear Stacie,

Sounds like Dakota knows what's healthy. I think that kids who refuse meat are highly evolved.

There's much more nutrition in those raw carrots and cucumbers than in any meat. Don't worry!

My daughter made a tremendous jump forward to well when we became vegan.

Best,

Francine

Sandria first of all don't let people tell you that this is your fault. It's not your fault. As for the eating. It sounds like a sensory issue. Let me do some research and see if I can find something for you. I know awhile ago and still kinda to this day. Dakota has a problem with textures and food. And there was something we did for this. Can't remember exactly. I know I have problems with Dakota not wanting to eat meat but he loves raw carrots and cucumbers. I try to find healthier ways of getting Dakota to eat.

I give my kids liquid vitamins I put it in there juice or they wouldnt

take any at all. Both my children have the food texture issue. My

daughter was diagnosed autistic but we are just now getting to my son

only because they say he is to intelegent and out going. But he does

have sensory issues. I do have a question to anyone that could help

The doc called us yesterday to tell us our son has Eosinophilic Esophagitis

which is basicly his esophagis is swollen form a food allergy why they dont just

say that is beyond me. BUT they caled in a throat spray which is prylosec based

and he needs to gargle after it or get thrush I am not happy with that at all so I am

looking for something natural to use instead of dose anyone know of anything? I am

also looking for natural juices to cut down on there sugar. I have been giving them grape

juice whelches sense they were babies. But it has alot of sugar so I am looking for alternative

I have also cut out ther apple juice completly. Thanks for the help Love Sandria

Hiya

Some of you might be on the thyroid forums I go to, most won't know me. I am a

Hashi sufferer with vitiligo also, diagnosed as CFS. Just over a year ago had

terrible health, nearly couldnt breathe for weakness and was admitted into

hospital with something which mimicked a stroke, confusion, gabbling on,

vomiting etc. Anyway I digress.

I am taking hc and Natural thyroid hormones. I go to the Dr for bits and bats

trying to titrate my treatment.

One thing which seems to help me a LOT is if I just rub a little lugols

transdermally on my wrist, chest, not too much because if I take it by mouth I

tend to start getting a feeling of a lump in the throat and my Hashis seems to

flare up. But it does help my fitness levels.

I have come to learn from others using lugols and who are in a similar situ to

me.

God bless

What other supplements are you taking? There is a list of "complementary" supplements for using iodine.

[Guest guest]

So, would doing Lugol's transdermally be a better option for Hashi's people to

start off with?? I was finding that taking the Iodoral was making my throat

tighten a bit and was afraid it might be causing a Hashi's flare. I've been

waiting to re-start the iodine until I've reached my optimal Armour dose, but I

would be very interested in others' opinion as to whether you think a

transdermal application might be a better way to start an iodine supplementation

program for someone with Hashi's.

Thanks, ka

Transdermal does not get into the body's tissues. You won't get enough to start healing. Not all hashi's people have issues. My husband has hashi's and takes 50 mgs and we have gotten his antibodies to disappear. I know a doctor with hashi's who is taking 200 mgs currently.

[Guest guest]

Okay, thanks Steph. I'm hoping to be up to my optimal Armour level and off the

SRT3 in another week or so, so will try starting the iodine then. I just

thought this might be a way to start a little earlier before I'm stabilized, but

I guess not.
