We plan to incorporate AIP diet over the next 6 weeks and introduce foods one at a time. This seems like a daunting task to me but since Jessica has blood in her stool something like this must be done. We will go to the doctor that diagnosed her with IBD. We will retest her using Doctors Data lab which will tell us a lot of things. We will see how her body is holding on to the probiotics we are currently giving her. We will see if there is dysbiotic bacteria as well as yeast. We will see if she is making more short chain fatty acids which help lower inflammation. We will see if she still has blood in her stool and if the lactoferrin markers have gone down.
When we retest with LabCorp the only markers I am aware of right now is lactoferrin, calprotectin, and blood.
We plan to test Doctors Data every 3-4 months and LabCorp in between those tests so we can have a running tally and update extremely regularly. We want to make sure we are doing the right things and not wait so long in between testing so as to let things slip by.
I ask for God’s help in this endeavor. We can’t do this alone.
