After a yucky, invasive test where they watched how his waterworks operated, it seems he has urinary reflux. It's not a bad prognosis, it's just a management issue and will require him to be on antibiotics for a few years until it fixes itself. Yup, years.
Therefore, his diet will need to be amended to counterbalance all the negative issues that go hand in hand with antibiotics i.e. extra vitamin B, probiotics, organic everything, blah, blah, blah.
Lucy-8 is already on a ketogenic diet for her epilepsy (think Atkins, but harsher), JD-10 and Missy Moo-6 are on a fairly low-reactive diet due to allergies and Mimi-12 is mainly on gluten-free, but I keep forgetting.
There I was yesterday, wishing to disappear into Nigella's library (consisting mostly of cookbooks) and that's pretty much what I'll need to do for the next couple of days. I'll be researching childhood nutrition re immune & kidney function and gut issues. It's also become apparent that we need to amend Lucy's diet as she's not being holding off the seizures too well lately.
I wonder if I could serve them all a diet of air? Breakfast will consist of a bowl of air with an air and ozone shake. Lunch will be a box of wind and a bite of cloud. For dinner, I shall be serving roast air puffs with mistral gravy and for dessert, an oxygen tart. Washing up will be a breeze. (Get it? I crack myself up).
On that slightly hysterical note, I'll sign off and go in search of a bottle of chardy.
Meredith xo.
p.s. Bugsy - I'll do whatever it takes to keep those beautiful cheeks as rosy as can be and those blue eyes sparkling. Mamma's just having a wee meltdown moment - but it is just a moment.
