My Baby Is In Pain

Julie Ryan / March 29, 2018

Michelle from Birmingham, AL, asked:

Hi Julie,

Can you please do a medical scan on my baby son Ronin? He seems to have a lot of adnominal pain and acid reflux. Nothing seems to be giving him any relief and the doctor just tells me he’ll outgrow it.

Our surprise baby arrived via C-Section 5 months ago, and I’ve nursed him from the start. I thought nursing was supposed to be the best way to feed an infant and I’m very careful about what I eat that could possibly affect him through my breast milk. We don’t know what else to try.

Please help. We’re all sleep deprived and feeling helpless. It breaks my heart to see him suffering.

Hi Michelle,

Congratulations on your new baby Ronin. I’m sorry to hear he’s in pain.

In order to get some answers for you, I first energetically connected to you and from you to Ronin. While scanning him I could see (in my mind’s eye) that he’s full of Candida yeast. I believe this situation has been caused from a combination of his being born via a C-Section and antibiotics given to you and possibly to him too.

In the past several years, the medical community has discovered when a baby is born vaginally, it ingests some of the mother’s bacteria which in turn seeds its gut biome. The American Academy of Pediatrics stated, “Infants born through cesarean section had lower numbers of Bifidobacterium and Bacteroides, whereas they were more often colonized with C. difficile, compared with vaginally born infants.”

C-Section babies obviously avoid the birth canal when being born and therefore miss out on what has shown to be an important process in developing a robust gut biome and immune system. Further, when antibiotics are given to the birth mother post-op, they eradicate beneficial bacteria in the stomach and intestines and allow yeast to flourish. This not only affects the mother’s gut biome, it affects the baby’s gut biome through breast milk. An overabundance of yeast causes a variety of symptoms including gastric distress and acid reflux.

In an attempt to get Ronin some relief, I removed the yeast from his GI tract, and watched an energetic balm (resembling thick white facial cream) be applied to his inflamed tissues. In particular, his little stomach was very irritated. This isn’t a surprise considering the yeast release toxins that irritate the lining of the esophagus, stomach and intestines, and turn them into a fermentation factory with lots of painful bloating and gas bubbles.

Now, here are a few things you can do to help your baby heal:

– While you’re nursing, do your best to eat organic whole food. The pesticides used in our food supply kill bugs including gut bacteria. Here’s a chart depicting what foods to eat.

– Also, while you’re nursing, do your best to avoid processed food and especially sugar. Yeast loves sugar and eating it causes gas, bloating and pain in the human GI tract.

– Get your pediatrician to write a prescription for Nystatin (oral suspension). Nystatin is an anti-fungal found in the ground that kills yeast on contact. It doesn’t have any side effects and is most commonly prescribed to treat Thrush. Nystatin will do wonders to get the yeast under control and most importantly, relieve Ronin’s gastric pain.

Hope this information helps and hope Ronin is feeling better soon!

C-Section and Joint Pain

Julie Ryan / October 26, 2017

Victoria from Spartanburg, SC, asked:

Hi Julie.

I am a new mother, and my baby girl is 7 months old.

Shortly after recovering from a C-section, I began noticing random joint pain especially in my wrists. With time it has gotten better but some days it flares up again.

I haven’t heard of too many women experiencing this post pregnancy and wasn’t sure where it started, as I had some mild joint pain prior to the pregnancy but not like this.

It’s like some days my entire body gets filled with it, especially after sleepless nights. I thought I’d see what you recommend. I listen to your podcasts every week.

Thanks Julie!

Hi Victoria,

Congrats on your new baby. At 7 months, she’s probably already doing lots of new tricks every day!

When scanning you I could see the inflammation in your wrists. Looks like the pain also shoots up into your forearms. I also saw inflammation (pain) to a lesser degree in your knees, and ankles.

In addition, you look exhausted although that’s pretty common for baby mommies.

So, in order to get some pain relief for you, I applied anti-inflammation energy to all the spots mentioned above. That combined with a generous dose of energy to combat your exhaustion will hopefully make you feel better.

The source of your symptoms, I believe, stems from the regional anesthesia (spinal block or epidural) you received during surgery and the antibiotics you received post-op.

A lot of anesthesia, including both general and regional, contain heavy metals that remain in the body after surgery. And antibiotics can wreak havoc on your immune system by killing off good gut bacteria.

Here are my suggestions:

1) Remember food is medicine. Go to bulletproof.com/diet and download the free food chart. Eat what’s on it.

2) Consider reading The Bulletproof Diet by Dave Asprey; Eat Fat-Get Thin by Mark Hyman, MD; and Fat for Fuel by Joseph Mercola, MD.

3) Be sure to add cruciferous veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, along with citrus fruits, wild blueberries, and cilantro to your diet. All these foods are great heavy metal detoxers.

Hope this information helps.

Thanks for listening to the show. Please call in sometime!
