i'm feeling too overwhelmed to re write everything so here are some excerpts of what I've sent to our homeopath.
Background first: dd is 7 months, born by c-section, they thought she ahd a blood infectiona t birth which turned out to be a contaminated test but she got days of iv antibiotics. I ahd more anti-biotics for mastitis at 5 weeks pp. Then we started working with our homeopath. I got thrush after the anti-biotics but she never had signs of it, it took 6 weeks to clear and I almost quit bf'ing. I did take probiotics. Gave some infant ones to her and she screamed in utte rpain within 2 hours and couldn't calm down it was awful
since birth we have had to *bounce * dd to sleep ina sling/ergo for nearly every nap and before bed (on a yoga ball). When she was little she'd flail, startle, and I could hear what sounded like reflux, laying her down made it hard for her to sleep. she lays down most of the night with me now no real prob, I think between craiosacral and homeopathy the relfux has stopped. She wakes a lot at night. When she was littler she ahd intense gas (lke huge farts and like 20 in a row that made it hard to sleep and we'd have to gently squeeze her legs to tummy to release them.sometimes she cried, her tummy was had, sometime sthey smelled) She seemed unhappy for the first 5 months most of the time. she arched her back while nursing etc.
at just over five months she crawled, and we got a good remedy that helped us both calm down and things were better for a while...we also asa family went on a "cleanse" where we ahd little to no dairy and way less wheat shortly after the crawling. she got happier and easier for a while..but still bouncing bouncing bouncing. 6 hours a day or so.
Then this past cycle (like cycle 4 for me post baby?) I craved dairy soo bad...I overinduldged in dairya nd wheat every day. Dd got sick and ahd teeth comign througj..she got rash/fever for days, I got horrendous cramps during my period which I was hoping were gone (I have endo metriosis which they removed some stuff during the c-section, I didn;t know prior to that)
now dd went to a cranio appt with me and she's been several times. because she;s so active it was ahrd for our craino to "get in there" and she was only able to partiallya djust her, she is coming to our house today during dd's nap to try to finish it. Since her adjustment she had a very very green liquidy poop (like wheatgrass color sour smell) and she had nothign green to eat at all, and I can;t see a fore-hindmilk inbalance all of a sudden...then she had dairhea, and some mucusy stuff, then she didnt poop for three days. We ec and after 2 I get worried, she has been constipated once before, but not like this..so she started crying when trying to go, then passed little hard "pebbles" some slightly greenish-greyish. Then there was blood. Took ehr to doc, he said an anal fissure and give her glycerine suppositories and prune juice. Have been doignt hat. She screams in pain and fear when we try to get the (warmed up) suppositores in and even when in all the way she pushes them out again! She is still passing hard tiny bricks and crawls into mya rms and cries every time she needs to go. She won't go when I hold her over the toilet and arcnhes her back so I know it;s bad.
I am worried about her. And Ir eally feel like more is going on with both of us.
I could write a book about it all, really. I also have chronically infected tonsils that nothing has worked on, been to ND's, and MD's alike, tried peroxide followed by probiotics swabbed on them, full ED for 9 months with no sugar/dairy/wheat/gluten (I was having other crazy symptoms of wheat intolereance at the time and then it seemed I could have it again, this was sveral years ago) herbs, no one will remove them cause it';s not strep. I just live with it, coughing up pus every week, it smells awful and when I get run down they get worse. After I ahd mono they were constantly swollen. I get migraines, and just feel mroe tired than most people at 24 should. After the mono for years I had to sleep till noon every day and ahd no energy but working at a health food store I did tons of cleanses and supplements and felt a lot better...
I also recently foudn out my aunt has celiacs and dairy allergy and my mom has "IBS" and dairy intolerance. My sister too...
help me put the puzzle together...suggest directiosn for me, share stories.
dd is "on" all the time truly a "high needs" and "intense" babe in so many ways but I feel some of her intensity is not just her "nature" my crainiosacral therapist said she felt an "obstruction" in my bowel even though I haven't really been constipated since the c-section and she asked me (people say she';s pretty intuitive) if there are foods I know I need to stay away from..which is weird cause Iw as thinking after the cramping dairy and wheat.
oh man this is long. I just feel lost, overwhelmed really concerned about dd (she eats fruit and veg and mainly has bm, why so much digestive stuff?) please help me think about what to try/do!
I ahve cut ut gluten and dairy to see if that helps./..
oh and during pg the naturpath said my blood tests showed elevated white blood cells like an infection but didn't really get it when I mentioend my tonsils...

I know, I felt that way too. I was always so conscientious... but when the poop hit the fan, this whole new world of how to truly achieve health opened up to me.
