The Big question right now is, does my 2yr old have celiac disease? He has T1 D and this has been my question for quit some time. First lab results did not show the possibilities. Just a few months ago when my DS went to endo appointment the doc said she wanted to do a newer and better test to see if there were chances he had celiac. Blood work does not diagnose just helps with on seeing the chances. Lab results came back and shows him to be at high risk. So he has an appointment to see a GI doctor.

My sons symptoms have been having lots of BM's some pasty or runny. Very strong odor some yellowish color some green and or dark. He has sick bouts wear he is very irritable and has fatigue. During this time he has little to no BM's and acts like he has discomfort and says his tummy hurts. As I right he is sleeping and has not felt well on and off. Also during this time he usually does not know what he wants to eat. Everything does not sound good to him. I am anxious to see if it is celiac that is causing all of this.

Some of you maybe asking, what is celiac disease?

Celiac disease is an inherited, autoimmune disease in which the lining of the small intestine is damaged from eating gluten and other proteins found in wheat, barley, rye, and possibly oats.

I am taking a course on Natural Family Health. With all that life has thrown at us I had stopped for a while. I now have picked back up on it. This is an awesome course!!! If you are wanting to learn more about Whole health consider http://www.naturallyhealthy.org/ and get your course from Shonda Parker or buy some of her books which it on sale by the way. She brings balance in Natural Health she is not extreme on one end or the other. You learn about whole health, body spirit and mind. Health is not spoken a part from God. In fact in her course she recognizes God, father, son and holy spirit as our true source of health. You will learn about the best foods to eat and what they do for your body and so much more so go ahead and check out the link above. Shonda is an absolute blessing!!!

My desire is to learn all I can about healthy living so that I may help strengthen my family's immune system and put into practice what I learn.

As we know there are foods that we can eat and foods that we don't eat (and much to learn about them) that can make us ill.We also need to be careful as to what we feed our souls there are things like bitterness, anger and unforgivness that can make us ill. Just yesterday on the course I was reading about bitterness. Never really thought of myself as being bitter. Anytime someone hurts us even the littlest things that may get to us can turn into bitterness if we don't let it go. Bitterness only hurt us not the people who may have offended us. Pay back doesn't help because the bitterness stays with us and destroys us. I have learned that continually thinking about things that one does or doesn't do only causes bitterness and it is my problem so I must ask for forgiveness and just let it go. The bitterness was starting to get in the way of me moving forward. Care to join me as we let go and walk the simply healthful steps on this journey we call life.

1 John 2:7-17
The New Commandment
7 Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. 8 At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because [8] the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. 9 Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. 10 Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him [9] there is no cause for stumbling. 11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

12 I am writing to you, little children,
because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake.
13 I am writing to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men,
because you have overcome the evil one.
I write to you, children,
because you know the Father.
14 I write to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
because you are strong,
and the word of God abides in you,
and you have overcome the evil one.

Do Not Love the World
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
