A Mothers Intuition

A Mothers Intuition




Something my mother told me when I was young, was when you are a mother you will know. Know when your child is lying, know what your child needs, and know what to do. At the time I thought, sure, but as an adult I now know what she means. A mother’s intuition is that nagging feeling that something isn’t right, with your child. It gives you the motivation to find the answer, to solve the problem.



After having my sons I have realized that this intuition has served me well. The problem is that when I was a young mother I didn’t listen to “it” often enough. As my son grew I saw odd behaviors which others easily dismissed. So in turn I dismissed my “gut feeling” about my son and pushed it to the back of my mind.



Until one day I did decide to listen to that nagging feeling and found that my son did have a problem, a disability. This was confirmed by doctors and finally that nagging feeling went away.



I found myself in a similar situation with my youngest son Jordan a few years later. He suffers from IBS, which gives him lots of pain, and diarrhea. Recently he had a serious flare up and lost 20 lbs in a month. We went through all the tests including the scopes and found nothing. Not satisfied I found that nagging feeling again. So I decided to try something on my own. I had heard about Gluten Free diets helping children and adults with IBS and other bowel disorders, so I set out to have him eat only Gluten Free products. It has been 2 wks and I am happy to announce that Jordan is doing very well! He has had more good days than bad and is feeling healthier!



So I guess Mothers do know best, especially their intuition. Never underestimate that feeling. Seek answers until that feeling goes away. My children are living proof that a Mothers Intuition is real.
