Hi Christine,

Thanks so much for your info. We are currently having a rough time with my son. He ate a raspberry bar on Sat. which was wheat free, thought it was gluten free but was not and he broke out in welts on a spot on his arm. Starting doing alot of pooping on Sunday and coughing Sunday night and yesterday after letting him have some homemade popcorn the coughing got really bad. So he was up in the night couging, pooping and now finally resting after we gave him grapefruit juice with aloe vera, chia seeds, and rubbed olive oil and ecupalytus oil on his chest/back. He is hot, red in face and says his tummy aches.

So I went out and purchased the chlorophyll for us and with limited funds just purchased the Bach mimulus to start with and will purchase the others online from that website you mentioned. I think I may have mentioned that I stumbled upon a Dr. Fosters website when I was researching something for someone on the HMN loop and decided to post a question to her about me and my son. Well she just replied and I wanted to run a few things by you to see what you thought about them. She recommended some type of adrenal support, immune valor, probiotics and an Essential Fatty acid.

You mentioned the probiotics also and it is something I have struggled with for his entire life. We did it for months on end when he was young and later had his stool tested and it showed no good bacteria so it was disappointing and it made me question the probiotics in general and the source. I have some in my refrig. now, HLC high potency powder (pharmax) that is suppose to be dairy free. I know I have alot of anxiety about giving him something that could be possibly making matters worse but plan to try it again and see how it goes.

The green poop is not something that was on going. We recenlty let him have a piece of ham (which he never had) since he had tested not allergic to it by a naturopath using muscle testing. So we thought we would let him try a piece and will  it seem to go down with no problems later he had about 3 green poops. Also noticed it when we gave him a few dairy free chocolate chips that they seem to not get digested and saw some green in poop. When he eats tomato soup his entire poop is red. His poop usually isn't brown or not very much. Okay, not sure why I feel a need to clarify all this...I guess I am feeling a little overwhelmed by all the suggestions and actually all the info that is available to me in books, internet, etc. that it is all too much, everyone has their own take on things and it seems as if I am facing which road to take. I think I have followed the food, the supplements so long that I want to approach it more from an energetic perspective and will go will your suggestions with the flower essences and the couple of additons to his diet which we have done in past (aloe and chlorophyll). Another one of those things that seem to work great was the aloe, for me and him, especially being regular. But then I read with the GAPS diet that they said aloe was "contains mucilaginous polysaccharides as well as increasing the release of tumor necrosis factor which is associated with IBD inflammation and increased immune stimulation"
So once again I say okay is what I am doing helping or hurting his progress.

Okay dear Christine I know you have given me what came up for you with what I wrote earlier and I have to either trust it or not so I guess I have answered my own questions/thoughts. Boy, this mothering thing is some tough job! Aiden just got up and went to bathroom and seems to be getting over the worse of his symptoms. I think the ham experiment just really wiped him out, depleted his resources and we have to build him back up. It just seems to be 3 steps forward, 2 steps backward. Oh how I would love a great big leap forward! Blessings, wandergirl

P.S. Happy Early birthday for your son. Mine will be 5 in June and I can't believe it either!

Hi Wanda,

Sorry for the delay in responding.  I always believe that there is a perfect timing to everything though.  Because of the nature of my work, sometimes I meant to respond immediately and others I'm supposed to give space for things to transpire, life to happen and lessons to work their way out...

I hope your son is feeling better now.

The biggest thing I get with him, and I don't know if I said this originally or not, but if I'm repeating - consider it an exclamation point - is a need for his body and Spirit to get on the same page.  When we are Spirit we of course do not need food, but our physical bodies do.  This in itself is the energetic root of 'failure to thrive'.  If I didn't recommend this already, I suggest you take a look at Flower Essence Society's flower essences "Almond"  It's purpose is to help create a connection between body and spirit.  Given your son's great sensitivity, it  might be enough for him to simply hold the bottle a few times a day (try to do it at the same time every da....
