Thanks.
Because you are having some tests done for Ivy as well, I wanted to share some of the test results I got back for Karamelles Ultrasound and GI panel.
It had been 5 weeks since the last B12 shot and her B12 was only 234! It was <150 when first tested in January. So shes back on B12 once a week for the next 6 weeks. Then I guess we take it from there.
Her ultrasound showed possibly the beginnings of triaditis. There were findings in the liver and slight evidence of thickening in the intestines. Her Folate was also high which could indicate SIBO. Shes back on antibiotics for a week to see if that brings the kidney marker back to normal as well. It was something called cystatin B. The specialist who did the ultrasound said she saw a tiny spot on the kidneys that could indicate the start of an infection. The report said to just staet her on a hydrolyzed diet which shes alrady on with Young Again. And do a GI panel, which we already did and do a urine culture, which we decided not to do because kidney infections and one this early, would most likely not even show up. So we started the antibiotics instead.
So shes got some things going on for sure but the B12 and antibiotic is the only treatment at the moment.
Since
@Connie & Parker & Moonie also commented here, I will include her. Thanks for your comment Connie.
Ive been trying to figure out the BG madness and I really still think it has to do with inconsistent doses. The caliper is great, but I dont always measure the same with it and if the syringes are off and its off, with such a low dose, it makes a huge difference. Ive been using the small side method which was easier for me, but when i push the syringe up against the caliper, I know Im not doing it the same every time. The syringe is sometimes thicker on one side than the other and its flexible. Hard to describe if you dont use this method, But I just dont think its working at the moment. I think I will try and eyeball it again for a while. 0.3U is going to be difficult, but I just have to stay consistent from one dose to the next.
