Today's GI and Naturopath appointment went very well! Tootsie's breath test results were NEGATIVE. Hallelujah! She has 7 days left of fluconazole and once that is finished she will discontinue the folate and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine. She will continue with the other supplements until our follow-up in a couple of months. The doctors advised following a strict low FODMAP diet for 3 months before introducing new foods - this will allow time for the intestines to heal. Tootsie is feeling good. She isn't having many tics (stretching or verbal), she is eating well and having Level 3-4 stools on the bristol chart . And she just started sleeping through the night in her own room! It's amazing how intestinal dysbiosis can affect a person. Happy to have it resolved! We are so very thankful for our new doctors - for their compassion, their wisdom, and their desire to heal our girl!
