I've been playing nurse the last few days as Crosby recovered from getting his wisdom teeth out. He took it like a champ, only needed a few Advil here and there. BUT, his stomach hated him! It was horrible! He's slowly feeling better, though, which is good. And, while he lost 4 pounds within the day after surgery, I have since fattened him up and he's gained 5! :) Hehe...lots of tomato soup, mashed potatoes, jello, pudding and ice cream!
Hopefully the worst is behind us.
Well, for his health, that is. I think my body secretly likes to maintain the role of "princess" because now we're rollin' back to my health. I went in to the doctor yesterday to find out the news on some tests I took, and OHH MAN!

We knew there was more wrong with me than just Celiac (always tired, randomly bloaty/gassy, headaches, etc.), but we didn't know what.
Now we have some answers! Praise the Lord!
- Vitamin & amino acid levels show that my body makes little to no energy (shocker! ~sarcasm). :) Must take new vitamins ASAP!
- I'm apparently HIGHLY sensitive to eggs and should NOT be eating them (weird).
- I've got a few other food sensitivities (I'll need to recheck that list...probably will have to keep it in my purse...I think there's like 10 foods on there). Did I mention my body likes to be a "princess?!?!"
- Lastly, I have a HUGE yeast problem in my large intestine! Yowza! Ok, the Dr. paused before saying, "Well, I've seen worse..." We think she's lying! It's so bad that some treatment she would normally recommend won't work! Ahh... Now, she did send me away with Candistatin and I'll be going to another Dr (my current Doc is homeopathic) to get a prescription to help kill this beast!
{UPDATE} In further looking at my tests, it appears that I have an uncommon form of yeast/fungi (not Candida and other known forms). Haha, you know what that means?!?! I'm a weirdo! hehe...this should be interesting. BUT...good update is that I don't think I'll have to follow the intense Candida diet (like the crazy Candida cleanse I found! Can I get another "Praise the Lord!?!?" :) Hmm...we'll see how this goes!
In looking at some causes, I wonder if the years of not being diagnosed with Celiac, thus being sick and stressed all the time are what did this? Hmm...
Anywho, this means my new journey, is to figure out a diet that is free of:
- Gluten
- Eggs
- Sugar
- Dairy
- And probably a bunch of other stuff...
We have just set foot into this NO YEAST world. Any information, websites, recipes you can provide would be UBER helpful! Please post ANYTHING you know into the comments below. At this point, we're blind...
Thank you SOOOOOO much!
