Caleb's follow up with natural doctor

We found out that Caleb has the start of a stomach ulcer and some bad bacteria. So he is on some natural medication to treat that. We found out that Caleb has food allergies to wheat, dairy, gluten, etc... The special diet we have put him on seems to be helping. Now if we can just get these other things lined out. My Grandma has been recieving these news letters from Dr. Wright at the Tahoma Clinic for years. She kept telling me that we needed to take Caleb. I am so glad that we did. We went to the pediatrician and got no help. Caleb's speech delay has always been strange. I never understood why some days he talks good and other days not good. On good days I would feel at peace thinking everything was going to be ok. Then on the bad days I would cry and feel helpless. I know autistic children who have been healed by a special diet. Caleb is not autistic. I will let you know if this helps. Our health insurance does not pay for natural doctors. We spent 1,000$ at the Tahoma Clinic. This was for a few tests, 2 hour consultation, and two follow up visits. And all the information we learned about our son was well worth it.

Caleb has food allergies

The natural doctor sent us to the lab for some allergy testing. Caleb has allergies to wheat, gluten, dairy, pineapple, and a few other things. Our son loves cheese pizza. We make them by using a corn tortilla, goats cheese, and pizza sauce. It is so nice that we will be able to give him something he likes to eat. We have been sticking to this new diet for a few days. I hope it will help him feel better.

Going to see a Natural doctor

We will be taking Caleb to see a Natural doctor on Tuesday. He gets sick every time he eats. Pediatrician has not been helpful. So we are going to the Tahoma Clinic. My grandma has got DR. Wright newsletters for many years. I believe he started the Tahoma Clinic in Renton Washington. We will let you know what we find out. I want to take Caleb before this health care bill gets thru. We may not have freedom to look at alternative medical treatments. I want to find out what vitamins and minerals Caleb is deficient in where we can boost his immune system.

Happy New Year

I hope that everyone has a Happy New Year. I pray that 2010 will be a good year. If your child has a speech delay I pray that you make a lot of progress this year. It is a very long journey. Hang in there and never give up. Progress happens so slow. Sometimes you need to look back and think how far your child has come. Never compare your child to other kids. Always think about 3 months ago or 1 year ago. Think about where you were and how far you have come. And you will see that you are making progress. Good luck this year.
