I just want to take this moment to give the BIGGEST thanks so EVERYONE who has commented such helpful, insightful and truly helpful advice and ooo ions on this vlog. So many of you have given me some really interesting thoughts to sit on and I appreciate you all delivering your opinions in such kind, yet constructive and confident ways.
Thank you all for loving me and my family and helping us navigate Malakais immunity❤❤❤
Hi! Hope you get to see this!! Read about GAPS diet by Dr Natasha Campbell. My allergies were like your son, and cutting foods and consuming specific processed ingredients was no the solution. GAPS diet has done wonders for me, i’ve been 6 months on it and it pays off
Praying for discernment, wisdom, clarity, and peace as you move forward as a family in supporting Moo and his health. Love and hugs from Oregon, USA
ur such a good mum praying for u xx
Hey Sar, I’m an integrative registered dietitian with a focus on gut health and when someone’s gut is compromised, food sensitivity and intolerance tests are just going to show sensitivities and intolerances to the foods you commonly eat because the gut lining is damaged. When the gut lining is damaged, you’ll react to most foods you eat- not because the food is bad, but because your gut health is. It’s a symptom of the problem. Not the problem. It is recommended to wait to test for sensitivities/intolerances until after adhering to a gut health protocol to heal the lining and build resistance of the gut microbiome. Even then, those tests are not very accurate in showing what’s really going on leading people to cut out more foods than necessary damaging their gut even more. I know you’re doing your best as a mom and I totally get that especially with Moo moo being so young, but I would treat him based off the GI stool map test and current symptoms focusing on building resilience rather than cutting out foods due to the sensitivity/intolerance test.
@lindseypeters3843 thanks for sharing this. 🙏☺️ Makes sense! Why does cutting more foods out damage the gut lining?
i’m a practitioner & totally agree! These intolerance tests are NOT accurate & you’ll probably run into more problems down the line by cutting out many of these nutrient dense foods! 😫
I’m also a health practitioner and agree 100%! ❤
Yesh those tests are not worth even getting, its better to just experiment
As a 2nd year nutritional therapy student currently studying diagnostics and treatment, I could not agree more!
As someone who studied nutrition, I know those intollerance tests can be prone to a lot of error. In general, the more you test for, the more 'intollerances' or 'allergies' will show up. I'm not saying poor Mali doesn't have these intollerances, but that's a LOT. It might be worthwhile seeking a second opinion about those test results.
I CAME HERE TO SAY THIS
Igg tests are SOOO INNACURATE and false
you said this alot nicer than i could have ! thankyou
So true, and it does depend on what is looked at. IGg (IGe or IGa = a food you may have an issue (intolerance) with) antibodies, which are present when you consume foods that you are tolerant to, are often looked at and when you get your results back - the list of foods is so large and most often it is foods you regularly consume.
Dear Sarah, I do not mean to intrude on the decisions you make for the health of your family, but as a dietitian, I would like to point out that there is no research to support "sensitivity" tests. I assume the test you used is based on IgG analyses. IgG is a molecule of the immune system that indicates a reaction to particles such as from food. Even in healthy people, small "undigested" particles from food will permeate from the gut into the blood and will lead to an IgG reaction. This is why all the foods Malakai usually eats show up in the analysis. It is true that with increased inflammation and other underlying problems, it is possible that gut permeability can increase (what people sometimes call "leaky gut"), and there will be more food fragments in the blood and, thus, more IgG. However, this does not mean that these foods are a problem. On the contrary, restricting the variety of foods may have adverse effects, such as decreasing microbiome diversity and making it significantly harder for you to plan balanced meals and adequate nutrient intake. Hope this helps! All the best for little Malakai.
What’s the answer then? If it’s not sensitivity or intolerance to all these things then what is it and how can it be tested for or fixed? I have a child going through something similar
I am a passionate evidenced based Naturopath and completely agree with this comment. I’m not commenting on this message to shame or provide judgment to Sarah because I can’t imagine how bloody hard it’s been for her over the last few years. I also imagine she’s tried to do heaps of research and do everything she can for Maleki and her family. I don’t usually like to comment because I feel like it’s usually not my place to comment on what someone chooses to do without them asking for advice etc. However, I know people would be interested in this and want to read comments and I would hate for others to feel that this is the solution to their issues. Those tests are not very evidenced based and it’s always a red flag to me when I see a test say that you need to cut out lots of food groups. We know from the research how incredibly important diversity is in the diet. I don’t know the details of the case so I won’t comment further on what I would recommend apart from maybe considering a second opinion before you make a big drastic change like this, particularly from a qualified evidenced based professional. And given the severity and history it would actually be out of our scope of practice as a Naturopath to be diagnosing with these “intolerances”. It would be best to speak to an immunologist etc. Just FYI for anyone wanting to see a Naturopath they are amazing and do incredible things everyday to change people’s health and lives. However, the industry is not regulated meaning that there is inconsistent standards amongst Naturopaths out there in addition to no regulation around the term Naturopath (you could do a 2 week tea course and call your self a Naturopath or do an incredibly scientific 4 years bachelor degree and have the same title). If you are wanting to see a Naturopath ask who their association is (a temporary way of dealing with a lack of registration) and don’t be afraid to ask for evidence. :)
I went down a crazy rabbit hole with several naturopaths a few years back and had the same results - results came back sensitive to everything in my daily diet. I’ve since learned this is because your body naturally produces IgG in response to food; the more of a food you eat, the more IgG your body produces. Just another take on this to keep in mind, as I know I was very overwhelmed when I went through this process for myself, so I can only imagine how overwhelming it is going through it with your child. The food results may help directionally, but it could do more harm than good to cut out everything very strictly long term.
This this this!!!!!!
And from my understanding the link between this is a leaky gut. When you have leaky gut, anything you’re eating is leaving the gut barrier, and being reacted to by your immune system. So that’s why when you have leaky gut, you’ll see a lot of food intolerances. It’s not the foods, it’s the intestinal permeability.
And that this is therefore one of the direct pathways to autoimmune issues.
I'm a dietitian and this is 100000% correct xx
Just relax and have whole foods
Something to consider - since the test is showing sensitivity to foods that he was eating a lot of, that could mean that his underlying inflammation/low immune function is causing his body to not tolerate foods as well, not that the food is the direct issue. Supplementing him with vitamin D could help if you aren’t already. Temporarily removing the higher allergen foods such as dairy, gluten, and tree nuts could help too.
This is so true, gotta watch out for those "food intolerance" results, they may not at all reflect the cause of the health problems
I would also recommend seeing someone who can muscle test
I am also a registered dietitian and I am so glad to see other RDs commenting with my exact thoughts. I totally get your concerns and wanting to do whatever you need to for your child but I completely agree with the other comments and would personally advise massive caution with cutting out and limiting Malakais diet based on these tests as it can often make the issue worse and doesn’t address the problem. Wishing you all the absolute best getting to the bottom of it all! 🙏🏼
Respectfully I don't think it's fair for Fox or for the rest of the family to miss out on eating all the food you already love. I think you just have to adapt Malakai's diet and he has to grow up learning what food he can eat and which ones he shouldn't. The effort on your part is just making a different meal for him. I lived the we all have to eat what everyone eats and it's was awful. Like I get that it's a lot of effort but maybe you can plan it out in a way that makes it easier to just make him food for him. Just as much he need a certain diet, Fox and Kurt and yourself have needs. Nutricional needs and I don't think it can be replaced with anything. I get that this is what you wanted to avoid but I think it's the best thing you can do for everyone involved.
Also hes not intolerant to lettuce...
I think they can decide together what is best for their lifestyle and family, respectfully
@@livingananda209 Yep! You’re absolutely right, they can decide what’s best for them, but people are allowed to comment their suggestions, and the commenter is right, it’s not fair to Fox. Similar to how Kurt was never intolerant but was kind of forced to adapt to Sarah’s dietary needs, then ended up having damaged gut health. The comment section is for comments, respectfully.
As a fellow food intolerant person… intolerances are not allergies. When you have an intolerance to certain foods it doesn’t mean you “can’t have” those foods. You just have to limit them as you can only tolerate a certain amount. You don’t have to eliminate all those foods altogether. Just make adjustments, it’s a process. If Mali anything like me his intolerances will curve, they’ll be worst when he is young and again when he is old. So hopefully what you are going through now improves as he grows. Good luck x
Hi Sarah! Long time viewer and first time commenter. I don't know what type of food sensitivity test you did for Malakai, but I suspect it might have been an IgG food panel test. I just wanted to let you know that those food sensitivity tests actually have not been scientifically proven to accurately test for food sensitivities/intolerances at all. Your body makes IgG antibodies to every food you eat, even those you are not sensitive/intolerant to. The more of a certain food you eat, the more IgG antibodies to that food you will have. That might explain why Malakai's test came back showing high IgG antibodies to a lot of his most commonly eaten foods. I absolutely don't see any harm in eliminating these foods for some time and seeing how he does. If he improves - great! But I felt compelled to comment because I don't want you to completely upend your life for a test that doesn't have much evidence backing it. Like you said, this is a huge change for you and your family, and it might not be necessary. Also, a lot of those foods you are eliminating have huge nutritional value. I know you trust your naturopath, and no shade to them (I have worked with very good naturopaths in the past), but it might be worth doing your own research here and consulting an allergist/immunologist if you want to do some real allergy testing.
same here so i commetned too
This!
There's a reason naturopaths are the ones promoting them too and not most dieticians, immunologists, or clinical nutritionists.
bingo, its what many clients come to me with - a list of things they cant eat = "who says " oh i went to a naturopath UGHHH it annoys me @@yallthought8444
As a doctor I would just like to urge you to look more into this. I do not stand by food intolerance tests because - in the most basic explanation - they will basically rise and show what you commonly eat and your body processes, it is incorrect to say that when you have elevated Ig for a specific food you are allergic.
To change from a healthy diet to all processed foods might not be your answer
I think it would be smart to get a second opinion. Maybe go to an allergologist/immunologist - just for a second opinion, because I have also seen a lot of test coming back with huuuuuge changes like this (it depends on the testing technique and the lab) but in the end it was not true at all. I'm not against alternative medicine, but before starting huge changes like this - I think it would be smart to at least consult a western medicine specialist.
Right? See a practitioner not a naturopath.
I’m not an immunologist or doctor but I do work for the ambulance and I can say from experience we go to a lot of little kids around Mally’s age, and they are frequently sick. Most parents I chat to say their kids are getting croup/flu/colds/bronchiolitis etc pretty much every few weeks/at least once a month. It’s a really hard age because they want to touch and eat everything 😅 And even though he doesn’t go to daycare, Fox does, and while Fox may not be getting sick, he could easily be bringing bugs home that Malakai just hasn’t built up an immunity to yet. It’s super common 😊
I was born with what is called a histamine intolerance and the list of Mali’s intolerances sound very similar to mine! It’s an autoimmune problem and doctors rarely know about it (I didn’t get it diagnosed until I was 18 after seeing 6 doctors and many years of gastro issues). Maybe worth looking into 😊 I was able to reintroduce most of those foods so it does get better!
totally sounds like Mast cell syndrome/histamine intolerance.
This is a symptom not a root issue. Look into paras/heavy metals/leaky gut
SAME! mastocytosis - have had it since the day i was born cause i have the gene mutation. got biopsies for my little dots as a kid only got a derm diagnosis (urticaria pigmentosa) and then the issue was never returned to cause they said id grow out of it. I AM 25 YEARS OLD AND JUST GOT A DIAGNOSIS A MONTH AGO. I knew I had it and have been treating myself for it for 8 years and so my treatment hasn't changed much other than mast cell stabilizers but still. It just felt so validating to know why I had these gut issues and was allergic to everything.
I totally get what you are describing, having it as well. & already bought a blood intolerance test - it’s so helpful to read that it’s more directional and nice to know but might be not as challenging anymore as the gut heals. Have you looked into probiotics for histamin intolerance? Not to be too specific but there are some that make it worse and these are supposed to help: Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus gasseri.
Evidenced based Studying Naturopath here (soon to graduate) commenting just because I know a lot of people will read the comments :). Completely agree with what the RDs have said. As someone super passionate about evidenced based practice it’s frustrating to see this test used, as again like everyone has said those tests are highly inaccurate and not evidenced based. Just FYI with the severity of Maleki’s health history it is actually OUT OT OUR SCOPE OF PRACTICE to see him. This needs to be addressed by a qualified immunologist etc. Besides we know from THE EVIDENCE that diversity is key for microbiome health and cutting out all of those foods will probably do more harm to his immune system later on than good, unless they are an actual allergy. I also want everyone reading these comments to know that just because this has happened there are still some incredible Naturopaths out there but you really need to do your research before seeing one. Unfortunately Naturopaths are not a regulated profession meaning that 1. Anyone can call themselves a Naturopath (someone who has done a 2 week tea course vs someone who has done a 4 year bachelor of health science degree). 2. There is a lack of standards that Naturopaths need to follow hence tests like these can be prescribed. My recommendation to anyone seeing a Naturopath is it can literally change your life and your health (being in clinic it’s incredible the things that we do and how we help people) but PLEASE ask for where they studied, who they are registered with and don’t be afraid to question the evidence behind what they are prescribing etc..
Hi Sarah, I have had issues with water being stuck in my ears. I discovered ‘Salt room’ therapy, I know my issue is not related what so ever so Moo Moos but I noticed I huge difference in my breathing internally. There is a product sold in Aussie called Salt pipe - it’s portable and studies on the website have shown on their website they can cure eczema and all types of things
As a lot of the other comments have said, be careful with the blood test for food intolerances from natropaths. If it's a "IgG" antibody test, these likely just show your immune system reacting to food you eat, not necessarily as an intolerance. I was falsely told I was intolerant to Dairy, which I avoided for almost a decade, I was not! Time lost eating cheese for no reason = sad.
Usually when someone is that reactive to foods it’s a parasitic/infection issue. I would look into PANS/PANDAS. Detoxing parasites will be really helpful in reducing food reactions. Hope the diet will be helpful but keep in mind it should be short term bc he will not be getting enough minerals/nutrients when it’s super restricted. May want to look into heavy metals as well.
Love this!!!
@@Dee0227so many people don’t know about that and spend so much on treating the symptoms!
@GretchenHoechner yes, heavy metals, parasites all cause nasty things. There should be more education on this!
I'm going through the same thing with our second boy, he's 1 and sick every three weeks with a horrible rash. We can't figure out what it is. We have an appointment for a Dermatologist so hopefully we'll solve it soon. We're looking into a dairy free diet, Prayers for little Malachi and your family ❤
You shouldn't need to cut out all those foods from his diet. It's likely showing intolerance to those foods because they're the foods he eats the most. Look into histamine intolerance and also approaches to improving gut health/leaky gut. Sometimes it's helpful to temporarily remove gluten, dairy, eggs and nuts as an elimination diet and then gradually reintroduce them but unless he has celiac disease or an allergy permanent removal of these foods should not be necessary.
I did the stool test, cut out a bunch of stuff Tomato, gluten and diary. I did this for about 3 months and then slowly reintroduced most foods. I am finding that gluten was the cause of my issues. I hope one day i can reintroduce gluten 100% back into my diet.
You will probably get a million suggestions here…but. Look into fermented dairy/wheat. There is a great book called nourishing traditions that you might find helpful. A lot of people who can’t have wheat or dairy can have it if it’s fermented.
Fermented foods will really help heal the gut too, which will mean that if you do have foods that cause inflammation, it should be less damaging 🙏🏻
Fermented foods also might make things worse if he's struggling with histamine issues! It's a good test though - if he feels worse then you know to focus on histamine!
When you're ready to/as time goes on, we'd really appreciate updates on Kurt/Mali and their health issues. Praying for their health, healing, and improvement :)
Autoimmune issues are so hard! Recently learned of my own intolerances and had to switch everything I knew and loved. You’re such a good mama!
I am allergic to all mammalian products. You should try emu and ostrich. They have ground, steaks, and roast. Closest thing to beef I’ve had.
Would recommend going to a registered dietician who is specialist in kids and write an nutrition diary 😊
Cutting out all those foods is just going to make it more likely in the future he actually deals with a lot of intolerances. Those tests just show which foods you’ve been eating recently - your body will produce antibodies in response to anything it’s had recently. Please dont cut everything out
Those food intolerance tests show the foods that he generally eats because it is naturally in his bloodstream at the time the test is done. I would look into low-grade chronic viral infections, and strep bacteria as a result of all of this. Top 8 allergens (eggs, gluten, dairy, soy, etc.) would be best to avoid regardless of what those food intolerance tests say. I've been through this all myself and it's been quite the journey but there is hope at the end of the tunnel. For me, it was Medical Medium info that helped me in the end.
Yes !!! Finally someone mentions MM . Eggs feed every virus
Completely agree - having gone through it myself too (blood tests, and seeing nearly all alternative practitioners, my life was hell, chronic body pains, rashes, eczema, neurological symptoms, and could barely walk at the end). It was Medical Medium info that finally helped me. Now, I finally have my life back. Praying for their little family 🙏
When does your cookbook arrival? Before Christmas for the holiday season? Will the sunee app still be available?
Omg I FEEL you! My youngest son started with severe eczema, which led to allergy discoveries of so many allergies, development delay, speech delay and now looking to be diagnosed with autism. So many allergies have been reintroduced now. We have been working with immunology here in Queensland.
I’m so glad you talk about this, my little one is 2 1/2 and I have suspicions that he has some food sensitivities..I just thought it’s too early to determine.
Hi Sarah! My sister had a weak immune system (low IgA and IgG) and when she was fifteen or so, we found an ortomollecular doctor (new medicine, basically) and the problem was the absorption of nutrients in her guts, so with diets adjustments and some amino acids supplements, she got her immune system stable and now she does eat whatever she wants. I know everyone’s experiences are unique, but as I read in some of the comments down below, it would be nice to find alternative opinions and see how everything is progressing
so we went through this with my son, and we did the no dairy and no gluten and and cut out a bunch of random stuff for him.. It was very bland know it was pretty extensive and it seemed crazy but we did that for a few months and then we slowly added things back now I know what he can handle and I don’t need a test to tell me or stranger., he is intolerant to a few things, but if it’s limited time only offered once in a while he does a great. I wish you the best of luck, and I am so excited to see this journey. Nowadays food is so compromised it does not have the same nutrition in it and there’s so many added oils so many added pesticides you just never know what you’re actually eating so I don’t think this hurts to be cautious!
Sounds like Mally has leaky gut. When all the things he typically eats shows up on the test that usually means the food particles are leaking into the bloodstream and the body is attacking it. I had the same thing happen. The thing that helped me SO much was gelatine. I noticed I start reacting to foods again when I get out of the habit of eating gelatine.
I just gave my baby everything.
He was allergic to a lot of things everything animals we move to a farm ,
After a few moths , he can ate everything no more allergies only pollen!
So I mean they need to eat it in small portions so he can tolerate later !
❤❤❤
Hey Sarah!! Can you film a cookbook q and a? Are the ingredients available in the USA and does your cookbook have substitutes?
YESS I need to now that I have the book! Yep I would say basically all of the ingredients are accessible :)
Hi Sarah! I’m going on 2 years with long covid, endometriosis and histamine intolerance. My diet is still very limited but it’s gotten so much better than what it was. I thought I was allergic to basically all foods because I kept reacting to it all post covid. It took time to bring down the inflammation levels and heal my gut by cutting out dairy/gluten/nuts/red meat. One thing that I’ve found recently that has been SO helpful is red light therapy. I’ve been reintroducing foods and then doing red light therapy after eating. It has been incredibly helpful with inflammation and circulation and settling whatever is happening in my gut. For me, I feel like it has been helping me tolerate more foods and preventing my histamine load/bucket from overfilling.
God literally blessed Mali with the best mama for his healing. So so proud of you and Kurt for seeking the root cause of his illness and doing your best to help him feel better. Praying for you all! You are such an amazing mom and inspiration! Keep it up love 💕
Love that you’re making your son’s health such a priority. You’re a great mom!
Sarah, we had the same situation! You can do it.❤ The health benefits you'll see will keep you motivated. And it's a great idea for the fam to adopt the same diet. It makes things much easier. After a white you can try rotationg food (giving it to M.every 4 days). Now my kid can eat almost everything but he needed 3 years of very stricte dieting.
If you aren’t already under and immunologist I highly recommend it! Gosh that field is so so clever! For 10plus years I had skin and bowel issues and always caught every bug going, and they’d absolutely knock me out too! Genetic testing is what eventually diagnosed me. I used the company invitae in America (I’m based in NZ) and they can test all these different panels/categories.
Also sending you prayers because I know how that point of desperation feels when you're willing to try anything for some relief and I watched how my health journey affected my mom too. Hang in there!
I’m so sorry he’s struggling so much in his first years! Unfortunately, research has shown that when kids get Covid-19 it really hurts their immune systems and makes it more difficult to fight off regular viruses and things that they typically would have no problem with, leading to them being sick more often and severely. A possible solution could be to try and be more cautious about social events and exposing him to more Covid-19 and other pathogens, I know it’s tough! Sending your family love ❤
Hey Sar! I'm so sorry about poor little Moo Moo and all of his health issues. I know this would take much longer but have you considered doing an elimination diet with him to figure out what specific foods are causing flares, especially for the skin issues? I just thought that if it's only a few main culprits, maybe you wouldn't have to be so restrictive as a household with the whole list. I had one of those comprehensive tests done too years ago and it was pretty much everything I was eating at the time. While I do have a couple specific food intolerances (dairy and gluten) that I figured out with the elimination diet, the test results were mostly just a sign that my gut health needed some serious assistance. You're an amazing mom though and I know your mummy intuition will guide you toward what's best for your tribe. I hope he feels better SOON!! Best of luck!
More likely to be a primary immune deficiency resulting in GIT upset, not simply intolerances.
Hey Sarah ! You should definitely look into the GAPS Diet a lot of mamas had success healing their babies food allergies and intolerances through this protocol ❤
hi sarah, where is your cream zip up hoodie from?? love this vlog btw 🩷🩷
Hey Sarah:) could you tell us which make up products you use? By name or put the make up in the discription box. Thanks 💕💕
I miss these vlogs! Can’t wait to see your Fiji trip. Sorry to hear Mally’s struggling so hard. I know you and Kurt will find the best way to help him. Hope it gets better ❤
You should test his DAO (blood test) it seems that he has a histamine intolerance. Hope he is going to be well soon. It is treatable. You will be able to reintroduce a lot of food after a while. 💕
♥️ Praying for Malakai’s healing. 🙏
I’ve missed these style of videos with mum life while also being healthy. I hope y’all have a wonderful family holiday!! 😊
Blessings, Linda
There’s a lot of people saying theres no way Malakai could have all those intolerances and as someone who is autistic I completely understand food allergies and intolerances and have been battling with them my whole life. I wish my parents couldve done what you are doing for Mal when I was growing up! Would’ve saved years of pain, inflammation, and pointless doctor appointments. Keep doing you and keep listening to your intuition🫶🏻
Sweet Mally! Praying for him and that he may walk in divine health all the days of his life! You are such an amazing mom Sezzy! I am SO excited for the new launch and so happy you are doing water bottles ❤
Hi Sarah xx I had a lot of intolerances and allergies as a child and I still ate primarily whole foods xxx it's definitely possible and you love cooking so Mally won't miss out on anything ❤
My daughter had the same results and we actually looked at a possible infection in the gut that needed healing first before we restrict too much.
Try not fixing the food groups too much in a day. One thing at a time which helps digestion
like a few people said, IGG tests are so innaccurate and igg is a natural response - i have a few research papers and also dietician reviews on this that may help you if you are interested but PLEASEEEE see if you can find a dietician that can work with malaki to work through food testing one at a time with monitored elimination
thats what i do with my clients
Also cutting out food can make you intolerant so cutting out dairy for Fox might then make him intolerant. Thats what happened to my friend when she went hom for covid and her household was vegan, now she struggles with dairy.
Nice Video !!!! thank you for this amazing content! I am very thriled to watch ur vidoes!
Thank you for continuing to post content… i miss when people posted vlogs on TH-cam! ❤
Pork and chicken mince are great swaps for beef mince. I hope you can find what works for Malachi 💛
Aww living the juggling life as a mum! You do so well
We went through something similar with our 4 year old boy. We've also done the test and it turned out he couldn't have sooo many things (including dairy, soy, coconut everything, bananas and a LOT more), on the test it also showed what bacterias were low in his system. We cut everything out and got him pro and probiotics with those missing bacterias. It took us 3 months of very restrictive diet. Then slowly we reintroduced dairy ect. its been six months since the test and now he can eat everything again!
I’ve had a lot of friends go to naturopaths and they have said you’re intolerant to everything. This was not the case. Maybe see a specialist for a second opinion. Hope you get to the root cause for the beautiful bub
Hiii Sarah. I just wanted to tell u that u are an inspiration to me and I absolutely love you and your little family❤❤u always make me smile
It’s supper normal for kids with autoimmune conditions are tough honestly as someone who struggles with food issues don’t take out gluten and things his tollence will get worse the more u avoid it. The more he has it the better his body will digest it
As someone that as a kid struggled so much with eczema, maybe try bathing Moo Moo in oat water is something that has worked for me when I had flare ups
Ahhh sounds like the earlier version of you , focus on healing his gut which I know you would. Can he stomach fermented foods ? Feel you girl,
Missed your videos like this, love this type of content you make 🥰
Thanks for sharing this new journey you’re on for Mali. I’ve been talking about doing the same I’ve noticed I feel bloated almost every day and my baby and I have eczema flare ups but I haven’t been able to link it back to anything specific. We mostly eat whole food but now I see even that can be a trigger
ah already in love with this vid
Yay, a new video!!! 🎉❤
We only eat chicken. So no beef is pretty easy to get on board.
Would love to know what blood testing you did? TIA
Anyone that got those food intolerance test will have a huge list!! It's not maintainable.
This is why you're his mama. God knew you would be the best one to figure this out❤
Couldn’t agree more 👏🏼
Hi Sarah, maybe you wanna have a look at this book "GAPS - Gut and Physiology Syndrome" from Natasha Campbell-McBride. It really helped me understand why I am having all these food allergies and what to do about it. I dont stand by all her claims, but its an intertesting read.
Please don’t go by these blood tests! Same thing happened with my eldest son and after doing the scratch/prick tests on the skin the results where not matching the bloods and have been told there the worst!
I love your videos. So informative. I’ve been following you since 2015 and you have helped me with my health so much. You were also a huge factor in getting over my eating disorder and I finally learned how to listen to my body. Thank you🫶
They are just intolerances not that he’s allergic too them. Doesn’t mean he can’t have them, you just need to lessen the amount of the foods he’s more intolerant too. If you just suddenly switch his diet completely cutting out everything you could actually created a bigger issue with him. You said there are some of the foods he tested intolerant too that he eat on a very regular basis. Those foods he’s eating a lot of I would just cut down. Also on a side note these food intolerant test are not always accurate. Maybe see another Dr that uses a different test and see how it comes out? Personally that’s what I would do. Don’t stress yourself out.. Just cut back on the foods he normally eats very frequently that he tested intolerant for. My son was constantly sick from age 2-5. It was non-stop. He was on so many antibiotic which actually created the vicious cycle! Antibiotics are death to the body!
It takes the body minimum of 3 months to build the immune system back up from 1 dose of antibiotics. So he was so immune suppressed and before he could get his immune system back up if he came into contact with anything he got it. Then back on antibiotics which depleted him again and even more. This happen repeatedly and he could never go past 3 months before he got sick again. He had pneumonia so many times he had to be put to sleep and have his lungs sucked out because there was so much mucus and bacteria. I started doing everything I possibly could naturally to bump up his immune system. He needs to take zinc, D and C. I also gave my son elderberry, probiotics/kefir (make sure you do everything you can for his gut health) fermented foods. If he’s taken a lot of antibiotics you have to do everything you can to help not expose him to germs so he can build up his immune before coming into contact with anything again. If it means limiting him from being with other children, going out a lot to public places it’s worth protecting him so his body can rebuild from being sick back to back and after all the antibiotics. Constantly sanitizing the house (door knobs, remotes(anything everyone to in the house touches regularly)Everyone sanitize their hands when your out and have a hand sanitizer right at your door and everyone sanitizes before they enter the house to prevent any germs being brought into the home. All your immune systems can fight things but Mali’s can’t so if your at the grocery store and you don’t sanitize your hands and touch things in the car, things at home or him you are passing the germs. It will be hard for a few months but it will be so worth it. I don’t know your whole story but if he’s having to take antibiotics with all these illness then absolutely his immune system is wiped out form the antibiotics. You have to do everything you can to protect him from getting in contact so his poor immune system can rebuild and give him all the extra support you can with supplements. I did this and we finally made it 4 mos with no illness and my son was never sick like that again. I finally saw an educated Dr who explained to me the vicious cycle of illness on top of illness and then with antibiotics how it just destroys the immune system and it will continue until you can break the cycle and get his immune system back up. Its critical. Also I’m a stage 4 cancer survivor who has relapsed 4x’s. I’ve been through 2 bone marrow transplants so I know a lot about the immune system. For many years my family had to protect me(especially the first year after each of my transplants) I basically lived in a bubble. We still have sanitize at each entrance to the home and everyone sanitizes before entering the home. You can do this👍 ❤
You’ll get through this! I had horrible food intolerances at Mallys age. After about 3-4 I was able to eat most things again but gluten and dairy stayed, and I am to this day still sensitive to certain meats, but I eat meat in such rare instances now that when I do it’s not as bad! Also deer meat, lamb, goat, have been easier for me ❤
Someone please tell Sarah that the BEST flour is chickpea (garbanzo beans). It bakes well, doesn’t fall apart, isn’t a gross texture, and there’s no other ingredient. I have tons of food intolerances and allergies so I’m extremely restricted. It’s awful.
I’m not finished watching the video but I know Sarah will be great at adapting. It’s hard to find good stuff without the additives (I can’t do those and I’m sure he can’t either) so I will also suggest looking into “Medical Medium” recipes. They’re super clean and allergy friendly. I hope he gets much better!
We are doing the same thing for our daughter due to eczema. Your grocery trolley looks like our haha. Its wild.
Test your house /warehouse for mold!!! They cause food intolerances!
Hope you had the most incredible time in Fiji!!!! PLS tell me where you got those packing dividers from!!! xxxx
Yay! Another video came out! Love your videos!
I'm definitely in the obsession phase of your story. I would love to hear more about how your diet has evolved. I am lactose intolerant now from being vegan all these years. How did you know it was safe to eat dairy again? And the other foods you had cut out of your diet? I've been following your channel back when you were very strict about dairy free and I know that when you got pregnant you were able to consume it again. This fascinated me and I don't believe I've heard much more about it since. Would love to learn! Would be nice if the miracle could be bestowed upon me as well LOL I think I have some serious hormone issues.
You’re a loving & generous human. Both your boys benefit from that energy and role-modeling 🎉❤
hey sarah i’d love to get this blood test done for myself, what is it called? x
if im ever not sure about if i need to pack trackies & a jumper, ill just wear them on the plane to save space - and wear a singlet underneath so i can tie my jumper around me if its really warm
Aww poor baby! Fingers crossed he will be able to eat all the foods again one day. Hooefully you, Kurt and Fox can still eat all those foods at times rather than cut them out so none of you build an intolerance to them. I went on a strict diet for gut health and introducing things again was hard. The more foods we have the more variety of gut bacteria we have. Good luck with this tricky path ahead! ❤
How do you consume gluten , I thought you have Celiacs disease.
If there’s an infection in his gut, it makes sense he would spike a result to what is normally in his diet too. We were recommended a 6 week break from these things and then to slowly reintroduce them
Know, many of these foods may be introduced back once he heals. I’m sure the naturopath went over that. It is such a struggle though changing a diet, especially for a toddler. I wish you all the best and pray the root cause is healed and things become easier. ❤
I hope you and your family have an amazing holiday in fiji!
I just wanted to say I related to this video, just back from a holiday with my toddler and 6 month old who has dairy and soya allergies (which they should outgrow). Have had a sick baby since birth and hospital admissions, but glad to have answers. So stressful prepping for a holiday but it was much needed.
My partner also gets me to pack all my tolietries for an early flight and the plane dried your skin out so much! Love your bags for packing! ❤
Integrative health practitioner here🙋🏽♀️ besides gluten and sometimes dairy, a healthy gut should be able to handle most foods. I would ensure the food is high quality (pasture raised eggs and grass fed beef) and look into root cause of the food sensitivities so he can enjoy a variety of foods again!
Bluey is the best!!

I have intolerances and they aren't fun. Sometimes you might not even technically be intolerant to the food itself but the way it is processed for example. Just have to experiment and try to limit something and see how you feel.
this is not accurate unfortunately, and i genuinely believe a second opinion would be in your best interest (by a registered dietitian, doctor, *not* a naturopath) best of luck ❤️
