Prayer request, please

A quick post.  We have been doing the Specific Carbohydrate Diet protocol for Josh for 4 weeks now.  Basically, we are severely limiting his foods to starve out bacteria and yeast in his digestive system.  We have been adding one food at a time to a very small set of introductory foods.  It is not going well.  We are seeing improvements and the yeast seems to have died off.  However, Josh is developing allergies to almost everything he is ingesting.  We received our last food allergy test results this week and he is highly allergic to every nut in existence, wheat, corn, soy, eggs, sesame seed, and on and on.  Anyway, I had an appointment with his nutritionist yesterday afternoon.  Josh is currently eating broth, meat (chicken, turkey, pork, beef in rotation), boiled pears, green beans (he won't touch) and avocados.  We have taken out the duck and quail eggs because we think he's allergic to them, and we're not certain if bananas, apples and/or carrots are a problem so they are all out until we are 5 days free of duck and quail eggs.  Zucchini made him sick, so that's out too.  Then, we'll test apples, bananas and carrots one at a time before introducing new foods.  PLEASE pray this goes well and we can start building a diet for him.  This is our last effort.  If we can't build a basic diet for him, we'll have to go to an elemental protocol.  That basically means we'll put him on liquid formula to give his GI system a rest and try to get him back on solid foods months down the road.  I'm in tears at the idea because I don't think I have that left in me to do.  I've been going crazy enough with the introductory phase of SCD and boiling foods constantly.  We need to fight his development of new food allergies.  As his nutritionist explained to me, once he develops an IgE allergy to a food, it's basically for life.  I am not giving up hope yet, but prayer is definitely needed as that is our source of hope.

Our laptop crashed and I just got it up and running again.  I owe a post about Kate's 1st birthday and what a true blessing she has been to us!  And, I hope to get an evening in to just reply to a few weeks of e-mails.  Thank you all for your prayers and support!
