I was just curious. Your experience clearly shows that the practice of traditional medicine needs to adapt and take a holistic view of our overall health. I find it interesting that the modern medical profession has become compartmentalized along various parts of the body. There is a “specialist” for every body part! The General Practitioner has limited tools and knowledge to do anything more than routine treatments of cold and fever. I agree. I was just curious.

Especially the improvement in your daughters skin. My son (14 months old) has been diagnosed with keratosis pilaris. This is a skin condition where hair folicols become trapped in the pore by a build up of keratin. Not at all harmful but causes bumpy/spotty looking skin. Seemingly very common and usually seen on the top of arms and thighs. He suffers from this also on his cheeks and chin. Dermatoligist recommended keeping his skin moisturised with creams containg urea. There is no cure just a case of being able to control it. But I am convinced by reading many posts that we should infact try him on a wheat free diet. Your daughters before picture looks so much like my sons skin in the photo - did she suffer from bumps or was it purely rough red patches? Did she have this on her body too? I am so determined to clear this up especially on my sons face. The dermatologist said this condition ois hereditary but I truly believe something must be able to help from within. Can anyone advise me if they have a similar condition? Hi, I am very interested in your findings. Especially the improvement in your daughters skin.

Food sensitivities really stress out your immune system. Having multiple food sensitivities ramp up your immune response because for various reasons your body does not like the foods. One main reason is due to poor gut health. The more beat up your stomach is the more likely you will have multiple food sensitivities resulting in a leaky gut. I have been there and it took a lot of work to repair my own gut. Keep with it. Great post! Food sensitivities really stress out your immune system.

I was going because I had a similar cough as your daughter and the doctor wanted to give me an anti acid prescription. I asked "that is for the symptom so what are you going to do to help me find the cause?" The response was a blank look. After that I decided to see if changing my diet would help me and it did. I am so glad this information is going more main stream because when I told people before they would look at me like I was a hypochondriac. I agree with not going to a reg internist.

Visiting from www.southernmomentum.com. Interesting post. I've been searching for information regarding healthy kid snacks, green products for children, etc. when I stumbled upon this post. My little girl has the same recurring cough as you mention here. The food allergy never occurred to me. I'll definitely try this type of diet for her to see if that helps. We do eat a lot of wheat. Hmmm?? Thanks for the info. Anne www.southernMOMentum.com Hi! Visiting from http://www.southernmomentum.com. Interesting post.

The doctor's do little more than prescribe and isolate rather than looking at the body as a whole. Because I feel their approach is flawed form the get-go, I prefer the ND approach from here on. I doubt very much any doctor would follow the nutritional route as they are not trained in this area. A broken leg?? I'll see a doctor in this case! LOL Great to see you, thanks for your visit.
