Not a journey, but a quest

I have been writing this blog on and off for 3 years now. It started when I went for surgery in Thailand and I have been adding major events and breakthroughs as they happen. 
Well it's time to turn things up a notch and make some more positive changes for my family. I get on a roll where we are eating awesome clean meals and the kids are thriving. Then it all gets too much with work and uni and I drop the ball. The kids health suffers and their behaviour reflects it. 1 child suffers from headaches, 2 pyrrole and leaky gut and the 4th gets constipation and tummy cramps.
In the last two years my focus has had to switch from obsessing over my weight and trying every weight loss fad known to man, to getting my gut healed. 2 years ago I was running 5km races. After an injury during a hill race I was under the care of a physio and getting cortisone injections into my hips. From there came the discovery of SIBO where treatment had me on top of the world for 4 weeks before crashing down again. Add a year of naturopaths with no real benefit.  I am now seeing an acupuncturist who is addressing my gut issues and pyrrole. I am happier and more balanced than I have ever been. Perfect time to stick with changes that will make my family as happy and healthy as possible.
I have amazing family and friends that support and encourage me every day. I will invite anyone who would like to add to my blog to do so, the more stories of discovery the better.
