OK, so it took me all day Sunday to research what I will feed my family. Man, was this tough!! As I went through the millions of blogs and forums on "GLUTEN-DAIRY-SUGAR FREE foods" I was overwhelmed with information.
By the way, let me rewind a bit to last Friday when I took my son to a holistic Dr. from Loma Linda University that I found; his name is Dr. Katiraei and he has given me hope in curing my son of PLEVA. The Dr. was also stumped with this disease and he told me that he had to study it since he never heard about it until now. He informed me that from his research he believes that it is a dysfunction of my son's T-cells which are linked to the immune system. So we are to follow the COMPREHENSIVE ELIMINATION DIET which is "NO EGGS- NO DAIRY-NO NUTS- NO SOY- NO SUGAR - NO WHEAT - NO OILS- AND NO COLD CUTS. Of course, he prescribed my son supplements that include vitamins, minerals, zinc, probiotics, and omega 3-6-9 oils.
I don't even know where to start. I grew up cooking authentic Mexican food, and this will change everything, for the better, I hope. We are to do this for 3 weeks or 20 days! And I say We because my family will go through this elimination diet together, because I know we need it. We have neglected our bodies too much and now we each show some sort of allergy manifestation, so the Dr. suggested we all try it. Also, I was recently diagnosed with Hypothyroid, according to Dr. Katiraei, this detox of the harmful foods we consume can help cure me also. OK, so we are ready! Let's Do This!
DAY 20
BREAKFAST:
Smoothie with Rice milk, raspberries, almonds, and flax seeds. And some rice and beans w/ salsa
LUNCH:
Grilled chicken, rice , beans, and salsa with quinoa salad and carrots
DINNER:
Organic chicken fajitas with zucchini, quinoa salad, and mashed potatoes with celery root.
PHEW!!! Exhausted!! The good thing is that the meals came out really well and everyone loved them. I am really tired. This is only day 20 - 19 more to go! But every time I see my getting more lesions it gives me the energy to try and cure him this way! I hope and pray that this works.. this is him today. He has these on his legs too. :(
I will continue to post pictures of any improvement I notice.

ReplyDeleteHi there, I would love to email you privately but I don't see an email address. Can you please email me? My son is 8 years old and has had PLEVA since his 2nd birthday. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS BLOG! Dfadelli@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy 4 year old little girl was diagnosed with this today. She is on an antibiotic and oral and topical steroids. I am willing to try anything to help her. How long did your sons last?
ReplyDeleteHi, I am 53 and have been broken out for a month! I am sooo miserable, I really feel for your son having them over so much of his body! Poor thing! Mine have intense itch then feel like my nerve endings are firing like crazy! We did a biopsy today and will have the results next Wednesday. You said you would post the recipe but I didnt see it. Can you please send me what you fed your family?
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
