I don't always put this prayer request on here but I am always praying for wisdom to know what to feed Isaac during his illness. I now know some foods that don't react but I'm still not sure what all will affect him. I have had a friend call once in awhile who is interested in what is going on in Isaac and is looking at some problems in her own 11 year old. She called and told me about a specific book that outlines a diet plan for people with gut problems. Also, recommended is the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. These books are both geared toward healing intestinal tract problems. When I was first ordering them I had a heavy heart. I tell you ordering another book, looking at another solution is overwhelming. I have read and researched so much that to do it again is wearying. Then again, I feel such hope that we may have found the missing key to what we are doing here. One website had a ready list of recommended and not recommended foods and usually you have to buy the book to get that kind of information. Isaac follows the list pretty well but there are a few things he was eating that are on the wrong side. I pray this will help us to nourish Isaac's body. He is very alert right now eating green beans and writing a plan for their fort this summer. I like it when he is like this. Everything feels so normal :)
Thanks again for checking in and for praying. Pray for those parasites to be scourged from his body and for his body to be absorbing nutrients.
James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
