Without enough saliva from chewing and HCL in the stomach, neither carbs
nor proteins can digest properly. These undigested proteins can incline us
toward developing allergies. There are ways to test for HCL production and
ways to increase production using HCL/pepsin caps, herbs or drinking apple
cider vinegar, or lemon juice in water, as well as eating kale,chard,
spinach, and a few other foods. The mother may also benefit from acupuncture to
help improve her digestion which might have the added benefit of not
exposing baby to anything potentially allergenic.

I was going to mention Zinc levels, but thanks Celine for covering that and
the HCL and more contributions so thoroughly. So fascinating, so helpful (
and wish I had known this years ago when working with a family also told
the Elemental AIM was the only solution....) Mom really fought through,
trying so many things, but wow we are also learning!
Thanks again,
Peace,
Judy
