Chlamydia?

I listened to a podcast recently and the guy said he has healed people from it by having them eat healthier. Red meat, fruit, no seed oils or processed food. Pure stuff like that.

This may help if he is having vitamin deficiency.

I drink this every am. Make enough for about 5 days.

1 cup of yogurt
Can of pressed coconut milk
Few tablespoons of local honey

Then juice and add to that

4-5 apples
4-5 pairs
One pineapple
Head of lettuce (we use romaine )
Bag of spinach
2 bananas
4 lemons
4-6 carrots

You can add other fruits and veggies if you want. It makes a green juice that actually taste good

I am sorry that you and your son are going through this. Glad that it is not the c word.

I am assuming that the diagnosis was made via biopsies taken at time of endoscopy?

Good that you are getting a diagnosis soon. Autoimmune diseases can be very challenging to diagnose and treat. Some more than others especially the rare ones. Also, there is a lot of overlap with some of them.

I have an autoimmune disease that affects my GI system. Not fun. My two kids (now in their 20s) have different ones than me. I also have a blood disorder.

Treatment can be tricky too and IME some of the treatments are worse than the disease. Very individual though and takes time to see what works and what doesn't. Best advice is getting your son a team of doctors you trust and can work with his pediatrician/family doctor. Both a rheumatologist and gastroenterologist-preferably pediatric. He may need a hematologist to weigh in as well. At least at first until the diagnosis gets sorted out.

I would not start giving him a bunch of supplements, change his diet, etc until you know what you are are dealing with, what the treatment options are, etc. You don't want to muddy the waters until you are confident about the diagnosis. Autoimmune diseases are challenging enough.

wishing you both the best

Functional medicine Dr. Break away from the pharma docs. The biome located in the gut is incredibly important and overlooked by the pharma crowd using too many antibiotics which destroys the biome.

How's his blood sugar? Is it in range?

Thanks for the responses. No blood sugar issues. I checked into this after I read some articles on Google scholar.

Endoscopy showed no visual signs of cancer biopsies taken and none found there either. Previous poster is right about AI diseases being tricky. Currently seeing Dr. Saux and a gastro along with PCP. Injections will be finished end of March and follow up tests for Saux and Gastro in early April. Hoping to get a better picture of what's going on. I'm also considering a genetic test that determines his best diet options.

I’m good with my post.
Love Francis

I listened to that also. Pretty sure he also recommended kicking vegetables. He said fruit was ok, but not veggies, unless they were fermented

Autoimmune diseases are inflammatory. You need to reduce inflammation naturally. This is done by a strict low sugar/carb diet.

I’m not saying this is a cure, but it will help tremendously
