I need to be eating high fat to support my energy and Ellie needs to be eating less fat so she is still not eating GAPS staples like beef, coconut and ghee. Such a lot of work. <br /><br />Jana - So funny that you think of us when you're up in the night! It is nice when you're up holding a kiddo in pain in the night to know that there are many, many other mamas up doing the same thing at the same time. Thanks for sharing your experience with Hashimoto's. Funny, I was doing some research online tonight and just came across Chris Kresser's Web site - he has some interesting information up there! I agree with you 100% that this wake up call Ellie's birth caused made me look at my own health, her health, and the health of our society honestly. I will always be grateful for that gift. We will definitely have more happy years to enjoy together! Love that!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919400970855348475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102726802629322686.post-63544756074910992182012-02-06T18:21:12.418-08:002012-02-06T18:21:12.418-08:00Annie, I am so sorry to hear that you girls are st...Annie, I am so sorry to hear that you girls are struggling. When my daughter wakes up a lot at night (she's never slept through the night, usually wakes up every 2 hours), I always think of you and tell myself that the night when she can sleep really well has to be just around the corner. I am sorry to hear about your Hashimoto's. I've had 3 episodes of Hashimoto's before my daughter was born and my endocrinologist warned me to expect another one after giving birth. And she was right. In my previous attacks my thyroid managed to somehow get back to normal without any medications. After I gave birth, I had to be on medication for a year. I also started the paleo diet and have been off the medication for 6 months now. I still have some antibodies, they just don't make as much trouble. I found the information on http://chriskresser.com helpful. He's done a lot of research on Hashimoto's (his wife has it).<br />It was the same case with me, I thought I was healthy before I had my daughter. And then, my health started falling apart. I try to look at this way: if this happened to me and does not happen to other moms, then I think I might have not been as healthy as I thought to start with. This might have been brewing another 10 years if I didn't give birth and I could have been worse off in the long run. So, I try to look at the bright side: our all family will be much healthier once we are through this challenge. We will have more happy years to enjoy together :) I hope you and you girl start feeling better, soon.

I hope you can find a happy medium in feeling well and eating what makes you feel your best. It's a journey, that's for sure... I'm on GAPS, about to redo intro, and I hope I can get some more healing in...<br />All the best,<br />MagdaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
