What are your recommendations for natural ways to improve my ability to fall asleep, I will lay in bed for an hour at night trying to fall asleep, any suggestions would be appreciated. - Melissa 2. Kendall - Our son who will be 6 in November, has had chronic diarrhea since the end of February. We started with IgG testing which showed he is allergic/sensitive to many foods, including dairy, soy, gluten, almost all nuts (except walnuts), potatoes, coconut, lentils and a host of other things. We've known he has had a dairy and soy issue/intolerance/allergy since he was an infant (to cow, not goat). We removed all foods that showed up on his IgG testing and two months later things were still the same. We've since done 3, 3 day stool samples that have been sent for testing and all have come back negative for everything - fungus, bacteria, parasites. We have done a proactive 14 day course of Flagyl just in case. We've been to see the pediatric GI and an infectious disease doctor. We've been to acupuncture. He still has diarrhea - or I should say it ebbs and flows between a week of diarrhea and then soft stools. The next step is to do a scope but we're trying to avoid that. We are pescatarians - so not paleo by a long stretch. However, our pediatrician feels strongly that this is related to food and nutrition. 3. We have a question wondering why we talk about directed supplementation but we sell multi-vitamins on the site. What's up with that?
