OATS | obsessing over fermented oats lately. I was dehydrating them previously, and then sprinkling it over yoghurt but I found out my mum forgoes that step and eats it straight after it’s finished fermenting. Apparently that’s the way they prepare oats in South-East India, but I can’t seem to find anything that supports that, or any recipes for that matter. There’s something called koozhu - a fermented porridge made from millet, rice and yogurt/buttermilk but that’s the closest I could find. Decided to give it a go and oh-my-yum.. bugger dehydrating it! Think creamy delicious oats, softened and “processed” by Pickl-It yogurt. It has added coconut oil, butter, honey and cinnamon so it’s rich, sweet and slightly tangy. This one is plain, but you can add nuts and/or seeds as per the granola recipe available on the Pickl-It website. I’ve bought some walnuts, almond meal and chia seeds for future batches #whatsnoaheating #allergies #foodallergies #allergykid #allergykids #allergymum #allergymom #leakygut #guthealth #guthealing #healing #healingwithfood #foodismedicine #picklit #fermentedfoods #fermented #fermenting #fermentation #anaerobic #oats #porridge #fermentedoats #fermentedporridge #ohmyyum #delicious

LAST NIGHT | excuse my little gratitude post hehe. Wined and dined @kenlammelb last night just because I thought we deserve it. We made it. These last four plus years has been HARD. Navigating becoming a family is tough, but add to that health issues and it’s a whole new level of hard. We’ve driven each other crazy and yet he has truely kept me going. He’s trusted me through so much scrutiny, and he’s been my voice of calm when I was loosing it. And he gave me half of his desert. Best partner in crime haha. I could count on my hand the number of times we’ve been able to leave Noah in someone else’s care. But he had the best time with his cousins while we got to sit and chat undisturbed for hours. He had multiple snack pots filled with hashbrowns and dosa and he ate them all. Didn’t want to leave when we picked him up. On another note.. it’s a rare thing for us to spend money on something that isn’t health-related so I really needed to give myself permission. We totally deserve it. Such a blessing that I’m able to work now and can afford such a treat. Super grateful. And for anyone wondering how I went with the food.. not a twinge of pain #whatsnoaheating #allergies #foodallergies #allergykid #allergykids #allergymum #allergymom #leakygut #guthealth #guthealing #healing #healingwithfood #foodismedicine #picklit #fermentedfoods #fermented #fermenting #fermentation #lastnight #besthusbandever #wemadeit #treat #dinner #thankyou #sograteful #datenight #loveyou

SCARED | not the vitamin D results I was hoping for. I ended up opening it when my mum and brothers girlfriend were over so I had some wonderful support to help me process it. It’s not the vitamin D results that I’m fearing now though. It’s super disappointing that there’s hardly any improvement. Not just because I was taking extra magnesium (in the form of Concentrace trace minerals drops), high-strength butter oil and cod liver oil), but because I had doubled my amount of time in the sun, yet still.. it hasn’t really registered. Maybe if I had of waited to retest in two months instead of one month it would have been 65. Who knows?! I know that blood tests are but a snap shot of a moment in time, and our bodies store things in places other than blood too but I’m sad. And I’m scared. Because what it means is that there’s still something NQR with me. Some part of me isn’t working properly and vitamin D isn’t being absorbed neither from food nor sunlight. It’s adequate don’t get me wrong. But is it enough to sustain me through pregnancy? And is it enough to prevent repeat weak enamel and allergies in my future child/ren? And of course I’m now feeling ALL the emotions about a future pregnancy. All the hope I’ve built up since investing in my health came crashing down. The dark and ugly reality of an emotionally and physically hard hyperemesis gravidarum pregnancy is staring me straight in my face. It’s probably a good thing I’m facing this now and not pinning all my hope on a dreamy pregnancy and it being snatched away from me like last time. Newborn photos of Noah keep popping up in my Facebook memories, this on top of my cray cray emotions this time of month has me totally losing it. But we can’t wait any longer.. time is slipping away and I don’t think I’ll ever be perfect. We don’t have funds to throw all the testing my way to find a root cause, nor an additional year to implement treatment. So I bought myself a copy of @lilynicholsrdn book Real Food For Pregnancy which was recommended to me.. and we’ll just pray for the best

WATER | someone said to me that there are three key things to good health; quality of air, clean water and nutritious food. It’s really really hit home given our recent experience with our water and it’s made me wonder how I ever thought our water was good enough. Regardless of the fact that Noah was reacting to trace amounts of coconut due to our water filter, I don’t discount for one second the impact moving away from city water has done for him. Regardless of how great our water filter is.. hearing about where our city water comes from.. what it’s made of.. what flows into it from nearby areas and what it travels in to get to our house is enough for me to not trust ANY filter. Noah is doing incredibly well with @olindaspringwater. Each day his face is brighter and I have so much hope that we’re going to really start moving forward.. that I cancelled our naturopath appointment this week and went ahead and bought beans.

PLAYGROUP | excuse the bazillion photos.. but we just had the most wonderful morning at Noah’s first day at playgroup. Not a worry about his energy levels, no stress that he wouldn’t eat because he now eats. I felt like a normal mum with a normal child. He was confident and happy. You bet the best part of the morning for me was seeing him sitting with all the other children eating his morning tea #whatsnoaheating #allergies #foodallergies #allergykid #allergykids #allergymum #allergymom #leakygut #guthealth #guthealing #healing #healingwithfood #foodismedicine #picklit #fermentedfoods #fermented #fermenting #fermentation #playgroup #mybabyisgrowingup #somuchfun #notacareintheworld #bestdayever

DETECTIVE | call me Detective Lam. And imagine me laughing hysterically as I’m writing this. Cause it just hit me. And it could be a massive game changer for us. And my head hurts.. and I’m slightly delirious. Coconuts. Noah is allergic to coconuts. I don’t need an ige allergy test to prove it. We turned on our air purifier on Thursday night. Immediately he had an eczema flare up. I blamed it on kale which we re-started that night. Again.. with the failing to not introduce two things at once.. but an air purifier? Who can blame me!? The next day it got worse. I began suspecting the air purifier as soon as I learned it used coconut to filter. But it just so happened I ran out of fermented meat and he started a short 24-hr brined meat that day too. Maybe it was the lack of processing his meat? And then I remembered the way he responded to whole carrots and realised my new batch of carrot juice over-fermented. Maybe it was too strong and that’s why he’s getting so much eczema. On Saturday I removed kale and carrot juice. No change. This morning I switched muscle meats for offal (he’s always been okay with offal). No change. In fact, eczema worsening. At around 2pm I made the call to turn off the air purifiers and air out the house. He had a nap. Woke up fresh. Eczema is fading already. That red angriness abaiting. Coconuts. He stopped tolerating his tallow balm, now I know why. Coconut oil. Do you know what else is using coconuts to filter in our house? Our water. Coconuts. Damn coconuts. And I just changed the fluoride filter to a new one. Double coconuts. My mum was just talking to me yesterday about a natural spring water company that services Melbourne, sourcing water from local mountains. Timely much? Guess who’s getting a call on Monday. Now I just hope I can get a refund on the air purifier. Otherwise it’s been a very expensive venture. Or a blessing in disguise? If this is what’s been holding us back (and I have a feeling it is).. it just goes to show (once again) that Noah really can’t have anything man-made. I’d go and collect the water myself and carry it down the mountain on my back but how realistic is that? Country change @kenlammelb

TWO STEPS | you know that saying two steps forward, one step back? Well it sometimes feels like one step forward, two steps back. We have come so far.. I can’t forget that. But oh gosh all the sad feels when I know something isn’t right and I feel thrown right back into the dark chaos of the past. Why? What’s going on? I thought we were past this! Something hasn’t felt right for a little while. I’ve been tinkering with salt in his ferments, and removed his fermented meat stock. I felt there was an improvement, particularly in behaviour but something still ain’t good. I was umming about his tallow used to cook his hash and dosa, wondering why on earth I never froze it and left it on counter. Hello histamines (face palm). I moved all the tallow I just rendered to the freezer thinking I’ll just finish the last bit in the current jar when I woke up to a kazillion ants heading to - you guessed it. Ugh. Gross. Marched all the way to the shops that very same morning to buy some rice bran oil because I have NEVER felt right about tallow and I believe in signs. We’ve only ever had ants one other time because I didn’t clean the honey jar properly. But I digress. Mushy stools (is it pumpkin.. maybe?), red swollen under-eyes (is it too much fibre from whole onion and whole beetroot.. possibly?). For the first time yesterday he missed his morning bowel movement and by 5pm he asked me for an enema. I’m so glad he can tell me when something isn’t right and knows how to make it better. Not enough magnesium maybe? So I gave him an epsom foot soak last night and oh dear lord the screaming and tears all evening. Nope. Not doing that again. So there’s this big elephant in the room that I can’t deny any longer. Sourdough. Though it breaks my heart to remove something I’ve worked so hard to get into his diet in the first place I HAVE to know. So sourdough is out. And we watch and we wait. The silver lining? I just ordered his repeat Organic Acid Test. Gosh how I’d love to see some improvement on some of the markers. I need me some reassurance but it’s not going to take away the inflammation I can see in his eyes
