Added Supplements For Alivia

So my dear sweet Alivia has had digestion issues since birth. She had severe colic, severe reflux and diarrhea ALL the time. Never a normal poo. I've done SO much research and have tried everything to help her digestion. To aid her digestion every day she gets coconut oil, freshly ground flax (added to smoothie or oatmeal), a probiotic, chlorophyll, and recently I added digestive enzymes. If the digestive enzymes don't do the trick I need to take her to a naturopath. I had her do a strength test and of course the results were different then the blood test (which is of course not dependable) and food sensitvity test. What more can a girl do? :(

Coconut Oil

Let me list the ways I love to use thee:

1. Body moisturizer. I'm sure there are more creative, less oily ways to use this but we use it straight baby. After bath time I put it all over the girls. I use it on my skin and once a week I soak my hair in it for about an hour and then wash it out. Love it!

2. Supplement. Can you even call it that? Probably not. But I try to make sure the girls and I all have at least 1-2 tablespoons of this a day. I usually add it to a morning smoothie or melt it over cooked peas. Yum.

3. Cooking. It's not great to heat up things like olive oil past a certain temperature. Coconut oil is a healthier oil when it comes to cooking. We like to use it when we cook stir fry and it tastes lovely.

Wow. I thought I had a longer list then that. I think it's late and I can't think of anything else right now. If I think of other uses for it I will add it. Please add your own too!
ps. Only use 100% organic, extra virgin, cold pressed, centrifuge extracted coconut oil. :) What a mouth full.
