I have a question about type 1 diabetes in a child. I've listened to almost every podcast, and you often say the body doesn't make mistakes and talk about other autoimmune diseases, but I haven't heard much about type 1. I might be crazy to think it could be reversed, but I can't help but think back to my kiddo's first few years of life. He was put on PPIs and had a surgery around 9 months that involved large amounts of antibiotics. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 3, and he is now 6. What are your thoughts around type 1 diabetes and whether it can be reversed? Where would I start? Nothing I find on the internet gives me hope, but I believe in our bodies' ability to heal.
Is there a genetic cause for sudden onset type 1 diabetes as discussed in the episode #604 Is Kate Winslet Right? and the clip Genetic Markers and Autoimmune Conditions?
My son was recently diagnosed with Crohn's disease and put on a shot to help control it. I have listened to several of your podcasts and was wondering what actions or steps I should take. He has had other autoimmune issues and is a very active 13-year-old. He is a twin, and both are State Qualifier wrestlers, so they are very active in several different sports. They eat healthy and are very skinny and little for their age.
