What did garlic work on? I know I'm jumping in here, but I'm curious.

We use a lot of garlic at our house, just on taste principles. My husband and I

are rather fond of it, and my daughter seems to like it as well, since she won't

eat anyone's mashed potatoes but mine. (Except Popeyes'...but that's because

she likes their gravy a whole lot.) We know it's good for the heart, but I

didn't know what else it might be useful for, other than tasting really good.

Hi

what are you studying at uni? Good luck, it is hard to juggle it all, in

this household the house work is the thing that gets neglected at exam

time.

Herbs- I cook with alot of garlic, and when Ainslie was tiny I put

garlic in most of her vegie/meat/pasta meals, sometimes that baby had

horrible garlic breath but it worked.

At present she takes flaxseed oil, chlorophyl (alfalfa) capsules, garlic

and horseradish tablets and a good multivitamin/mineral tablet. She has

always had a good multivitamin and vitamin E (the flaxseed capule

contains this now).

Good luck with it all, but remember to keep your doctor informed of

what you are giving your son, or check with your pharmacist, as some

natural remedies can react with medications your doctor may prescribe.

I work hard on nutrition and exercise with Ainslie, meat and chicken

that has no antibiotics or preservatives, lots of good fresh fruit and

vegies and try to limit the preservatives - tried to eliminate them

altogether but that became a very expensive exercise almost everything

available has some sort of preservative in it.

GARLIC is a natural antibiotic. I have eaten it everyday of my life almost

in some form or another. I put it graded on all my children's food too. .I

haven't been sick a day---I am 70 + years old. & had 5 children

natural ----None of them have ever even had measles, nor have I . not a

single childhood disease.& the oldest almost 50, just had his first small

cavity.The others none yet. My youngest is 41 yrs old ..My 10 grandkids are

well, also------ So ,it must have some value with it. My mom always said

" between garlic & fish, you'll stay well all your life...& we have., my

granddaughter , even with CF, has been well until this past month when her

appendix burst ...then wrong care, wrong meds, had her not doing so well,

until we got her to her CF hospital /Center docs. Anyway, Natural for as

much as you can is better.

Jana,

Thanks for the info on the list! I actually did join it a couple of

weeks ago and Danna and others were extremely helpful with information

for me.

We still have *some* GI issues, but they are decreased drastically since

cutting out wheat. And then when I did give pasta after a 4-week

abstention from most wheat, he had the absolute most awful gas for 24

hours or so afterward.

My daughter doesn't seem to be affected, but I'm not sure. Her digestion

has always been perfect unless she has a virus.

As far as the GI issues we still have, Jake seems to go through short

periods of mild malabsorption, and times when his stool is more

light/orangey as opposed to dark brown. Sometimes stool floats instead

of sinks. We have noticed the most dramatic improvement in GI symptoms

since we began supplementing him with crataegus a couple of months after

diagnosis. (There is a list with information on this therapy,

crataegus ) Still we have had, though, these occasional

bouts of light and/or oily stool. So far it seems that going off wheat

has helped this and that most noticeably, any gas is gone.

)O(

mama to , 2yo, wCF and alpha-1

and to , 4 yo, w/alpha-1 but no CF

Thanks, . I completely agree with you about not pursuing a formal

celiac diagnosis and just avoiding gluten. My daughter, as I'm sure have

your children, has been through way too much already, to prepare her for

another surgery seems just plain cruel, especially since the gluten-free

diet has been quite effective.

Have you noticed a significant difference in your children's stools

since switching to gluten-free? We're not completely cured, but there's

a huge improvement. I often wonder if I've missed some gluten in

something or if there's something else going on. We've had plenty of GI

problems in the past and so it could be anything.

Well, thanks again for the support. I belong to a celiac kids email list

if you're interested, we exchange some GREAT recipes and support. The

group is moderated by Danna Korn who wrote an amazing book called

" Celiac Kids " .

Take good care of yourself.

Hugs,

Jana

I have a question. A lot of you seem to be talking lately about

herbal remedies and I remember a few days ago some mentioning

acidophilus (spelling?) I had another CF Mom mention it a long time

ago and I'd love to try it with Wyatt but I don't know how to use it.

He is 7, 47inches high and weighs about 50pounds. (in case that's

important) Also any other advice on the herbal remedies would be

greatly appreciated. I know I shouldn't just start treating him

myself and should talk it over w/ the docs but I definately believe

there's more out there than just conventional medicine that will help

to keep him healthy. Thanks Christy

I felt this was great news to share.

When went on his shopping spree to Walmart there was a special lady who

took us around. Her name is Marisa. Well, after 's spree, he touched

her heart so much that, she is now working with the Make A Wish chapter in

Pottsville, PA. We feel very special to have such an impact on someone's

life.

Gail,

thank you for the warm wishes and the kind thoughts and prayers. I have a

few more weeks of recovering to do but I think I will be better off in the long

run for it!!! I am just so thrilled that I don't have pancreatitis anymore. I am

however a mild Diabetic but that is being controlled by insulin at night and

watching my diet during the day. I've been really lucky lately that my numbers

are staying WNL.

God Bless

Terri,

I rang her pulm. dr. again last night. She said to take her to our Gp

and ask him to test for glandular fever. Apparently in young children

the glands don't swell often but its the fever that they have. So at

9.20 this morning were off there. I just hate her missing school,

although compared to last term this is only her 3rd day off this term,

last term was almost 30.

Hows the weather? We've had it really hot, early, and then the last few

days have been cooler. We have had 6 power blackouts in our estate in 6

days. Do you get many of them there?

Damn those viruses, hope she gets better soon. Sleep is one of the

best things if she is not feeling well.

When Ainslie was last unwell I started her on chloropyhl capsules from

the chemist or health food stores - a cf mum with older kids had told me

that she had used 'grass juice' literally, for her 2 when they were

young, so I thought why not give it a try now. Well it helped alot and

she has been on it all the winter and spring - I will stop it when

school finishes as all the kids are tired at this time of year.

Hey there ,

I apologize that I havent written to you sooner but I am sure you

understand how hectic things can get. I appreciate your kind words always

for Brandan and myself he loves to hear people are thinking of him especially

someone from the group. Brandan now has been post op 4 months on Dec 12. I

think the biggest thing one has to remember is that someone with this disease

has suffered so very long, and been fighting pain so very long that it is

going to take time for them to heal, physically and mentallly. I have had an

array of mixed messages from many people who tell me how he should be doing

especially the surgeons but even they are not sure, all I know for sure as

always that it is " A DAY AT A TIME " . I would really like to chat with you

and compare notes if you would like anytime, Thank you for your number I

look forward to talking with you in the future. Please feel free to email me

at Brwnbare9@... and we can start comparing notes, most of the time I

recieve it quicker than reading the posts. As always keeping you and yours

in our thoughts and prayers always...Keep smiling(cuz sometimes its all one

can do!) TTFN...Peg : )
