IT'S BEEN 7 YEARS: opening up about my health

[@janiceyoder621]

We've gone through a very unexpected health journey with my husband. He had a brain bleed in April of 2024 and has dealt with things like anxiety and A-fib. He says he has much more sympathy for people with health issues. I've dealt with secondary anxiety while trying to be his support. We are so thankful to be leading a near normal life right now. It's a blessing from God when you feel well!

[@theMennoniteMom]

That is so scary 😳 sending hugs! I'm so glad to hear it's going better for you

[@lindawhite5006]

I was diagnosed in September (2024) with Atrial Fibrillation. I've been hospitalized 3 times and been in the ER 5 times. I've had Cardioversion (shock my heart into rhythm) 3 times. I'm scheduled for an Ablation (procedure where they scar the part of my heart misfiring and not working right) on Dec 16th (2024). I'm hoping that fixes things! Prayers are always welcomed!!!

[@marianne57]

Hugs and saying prayers for you in hopes this next procedure helps. 💕

Praise the Lord for the good news! We are so blessed to have you all as someone to look up to. We have always admired you as you deal with your health and all the things that does to someone!❤

[@BrianMiller-rq3ff]

Thankyou for pointing out that people need to have more understanding for people with illnesses, that can't be seen, my daughter has a life long condition, elhers- danlos syndrome and lives with chronic pain, there is no cure, but because you look normal, people constantly brush it aside saying, you'll get better, the condition only get worse,so thank you again ,for talking about understanding and support. Hope you stay healthy. Robyn . Australia

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Praise God for His healing , sometimes we need to not only trust Him, but we also need to take a dip at least seven times before we are healed 🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🥰

Praise the Lord ! So happy for you to be at this place after such a long difficult road . ❤️😊🙏 thank you for sharing your story , it really encourages many !

Thank you for sharing, validating, encouraging & much needed. I just this minute thanked my husband for his care & support and holding things together when I can't. God is good

[@vickiebelk635]

I’m so glad you’re doing so well. I’ve suffered with IBS all my life. I was tickled when you said you booked your seats on the flight near the bathroom. I always make sure I know where the bathroom is when I go anywhere. Most people can’t sympathize with you. It’s so amazing how your body works. One time I can eat something and be fine and another time I’m miserable.

[@liznelson3580]

Thank you for sharing, I have struggled with this nasty disease since 2006. In 2007, I had my colon removed and on a bag for 4 months. Praise the Lord, I could be reconnected and now have a J-Pouch. I still need to be close to a bathroom occasionally, am I completely healed, nope!! No more bleeding but food goes straight through so of course I am limited in my activities. With the Lord's help I can get through a day, I have learned to play the game after 18 years in February. I have given up traveling, but you have encouraged me to try again. Thank you for your channel!!

[@conniekreider6414]

I believe God smiles on the relationship you two have with each other! I’m so sorry for the incredible pain you’ve walked through, and so very thankful that you have a godly husband who loved you through it!! Thanks for sharing your anointing story🥰

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you for your kind words! God is good, and I'm so so thankful for my husband. He's truly stuck with me thru sickness and health. God bless!

[@leonastutzman6190]

Thank you for sharing your story. I am so thankful you are much better and respect anyone who asks to be anointed. It is very Biblical and we should practice it more. Your journey has been helpful to me!

[@mommie2492]

Our family understands your pain and concerns with ulcerative colitis. Our son was 22 when he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. A few years into it it got to the point where they were discussing colostomy bag. Thankfully his doctor recommended a specialist in Denver, Colorado. Sean was put on Humira a self injection drug every week for the last 4 years . Sean has been in remission for the last two years. His colonoscopy’s have shown no sign of ulcerative colitis. I as a mom have prayed for God to answer our prayers and we our so thankful Sean is doing so well. Through all his years of struggle he finished college and is now a nurse in Colorado Springs in the renal department. Thanking God He has heard your prayers and mine. Happy Thanksgiving to your family.

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you so much for sharing this, and I'm so thankful your son found help and is in remission. What an answer to prayer! I can't imagine being a mother and watching your child go through that, especially in the prime of life 😪 Thank you for sharing, and I pray he continues to stay in remission

[@darlenezapotichny6292]

God is good! Wow. I have followed you for a long time and know of your pain and flare ups. I have IBS and have had some horrible times, so listening to you has helped me. Thanks for your sharing. Praying for you and your family.

[@JimChandler-be7fk]

I’m so happy for you all especially you Jeneane. Chronic conditions are so hard to deal with. I’m truly happy for you.

[@ruthturkington1736]

Praise the Lord! So thrilled to hear this news. Keep up the good work & we will keep praying for you!

[@tinagravelle3458]

Thank you for being so candid. I thank the Lord for answering your prayer and helping you to find a solution to your suffering. Running to the washroom constantly day and night at a moment’s notice lends to a far from pleasant life. It takes a lot of planning and management to even try and maintain a semblance of normality. Jesus is faithful. Hallelujah!

[@donnamccloskey6229]

Power of prayer 🙏

[@lindamcauley4728]

God bless you both for being so honest. ❤❤❤❤

[@lifeinthepiedmontVirginia]

Praise the Lord! Thank you for sharing. That same scripture is what I had prayed over our son when we were told he had cancer. His diagnosis turned out to be crohns. He is in his 30’s now on meds but doing so good. It’s a time in our lives that if it wasn’t for our faith I don’t know how we got through it. God is good. ❤

[@lulamamie8524]

Thank you for sharing this topic again. I did watch your video on your other channel years ago??? I did try the Anovite chewy strawberry tablets through your link, and they worked so well for me! I do not know why I stopped ordering them. This video has given me the wake up call to order more!! Thank you for being so open and honest on this topic 😇😃❤ Thank you again 😊

[@annadaniel4336]

Thank you for sharing your story! You have helped me to have hope with my own journey through difficult health problems. I enjoy your VLOG and appreciate you. May God bless you and your family. I enjoy your coffee and it’s one of the few that doesn’t upset my stomach.

[@JandKG]

Jeannine, I started watching your channel 3 and a half years when my autoimmune condition flaired. You've been an inspiration to me. Thank you for being candid - I know it's not easy. ❤

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you and I hope you are doing well? Health issues can be so long and lonely 😪 sending hugs!

[@JandKG]

@@theMennoniteMom Thank you so much! Unfortunately shortly after I developed Agoraphobia (fear of having a panic attack outside my home) so I've been housebound for the past 2 years but I am slowly working on that and slowly getting better. so thankful for God's mercy and grace❤️

[@a.hakvoort8098]

Thanks for the update and for sharing ❤

[@lisatakeitorleaveit]

My husband has ulcerative colitis and he was given an ostomy which he was so grateful for and then he had a j- pouch surgery and has had it for 30 years. It’s a very challenging thing to deal with ❤ as a partner if someone with a chronic illness we need grace and support too. The fact that this issue has to do with bathroom things makes it even harder on the person. Glad you are taking about this💕

[@DianeMcCall-v7f]

I’m so glad for you and your husband! Terribly stressful and frightening experience for you both x Wishing you all the very best of health going forward ❤

[@sueregan2782]

Wonderful message! Rejoicing with you. I had IBS in 2021, mostly resolved now, but was still feeling some inflammation and pain. So, after seeing your journey, I tried colostrum a few weeks ago. On the first day the inflammation calmed down , so only needed to take it for a week and felt much better.

[@mommyduncan84]

If you don’t mind, could you share which colostrum you use ?

[@merg-vh5sx]

I was there for the van era! I can't believe I've been watching you so long!

Thank you so much for sharing your journey!❤ Praise the Lord for healing!

[@peggyjohns7893]

Thank you! I ended up with C Difficile, and it was a similar experience. I researched everything, and finally found things I did that helped. Not being able to leave the house, and I was alone. I completely understand your video and thank you.

[@TRuth.T]

Thanks, for taking the time to update us. Love seeing the two of you :) Lactobacillus Reuteri can be taken for some of the same reasons & may be cheaper....

[@chickenlady8768]

Be careful about stress, I didn't have near the flair ups you did, but I had to learn to control stress, every time I had stress I would get sick . I'm so glad you are on the healing side of things.our God is so wonderful!!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you. I've had to learn that, too... but it can be hard to control some stress. Any tips? 🙂 I'm glad you have found answers from the sounds of it?

[@chickenlady8768]

@theMennoniteMom i don't have the answers for that, I just try to stay calmer,which helps, but like you said it isn't easy, I take magnesium I think that helps me some, but I still get stressed.

[@cynthiawalker8214]

So happy for ya’ll. I remember a lot while this was going on.. I admired you so much for you trip out west. You both are the best! I’m not one to comment and rarely do but always “like” your channel. Trust in the Lord to provide and guide….. God Bless

[@cleanqueen75]

I had what I call a spastic colon about 20 years ago. Everything I ate there better be a bathroom nearby. I had all kinds of tests which came back negative. I finally narrowed it down to drinking anything that is carbonated. The bubbles tore me up! My dad passed away of colon and liver cancer at age 47 and my mom at 85. I get a colonoscopy every 5 years and I am lucky I never have any polyps. I know how you feel. I used to get almost like a panic attack just going to the grocery store! I am glad you’re feeling better.

[@chenglim7080]

Hello Mennonite Mom and Nolan, Many thanks for sharing your testimony and Abba’s goodness and His miracles to you both and your family. A reminder that 7 represents Abba’s perfection and so happy that you are healed and that after what you both have been through together, you both are blessed and stronger! God is good and PTGL Amen, Amen for His healing miracles upon you!

[@dianalama1591]

Love you guys and praise the good Lord for a solution to your health challenges. Nolan, you’re a great spouse for standing with your beautiful bride through sickness and in health. May your lives continue to improve 🙏🏼 I’m going to try the MESSY BUN coffee 😋

Thank you for sharing your story! I have very difficult to control asthma that has caused me to go into hospital several times this year after attacks. Whilst we are incredibly lucky to have the NHS here in the UK, my heart goes out to you as I know the cycle of treatment after treatment can be tough and overwhelming, and isolating. I hope things continue to go well for you, and this video brought me so much encouragement!

Thank the Lord!!

God bless you and your family, Jeanine! My church also does the prayerful anointing.

[@cristinalancia8920]

Thanks for sharing all this with us... Sorry for what you went through. The description of your anointing was very moving. Praise the Lord for your healing and lots if agape love to you, your precious Colossians 3:19 husband and those darling children of yours. 💗

[@LittleValleyAcresFarm]

I am so happy for you in your good report. I remember your sick journey. I hope you continue doing well. ❤

[@muzacminister]

Yes, the laying on of hands and the anointing with oil. Praying in faith and agreement is powerful and scriptural. Praying for you.

[@theMennoniteMom]

Amen!

[@Eph1-4]

Thank you💕 it is lonely. Going to ask my practitioner about trying colostrum. Also going to share this. God bless you🙏

[@homespundevotions]

Bless your dear heart! My heart went out to you so much as I watched and listened to your story. It reminded me of something my mom used to tell me concerning my own afflictions when I would become so frustrated after being anointed and prayed for and nothing seemed to change. She would say, "Cheryl, God doesn't always heal instantly. Sometimes He heals gradually." That has been proven to me SO many times through the years. Looking back, He has worked with me along the same lines as He has with you as far as guiding me to the right supplements and natural remedies and teaching me so many things through those processes. Many times, that is how He does heal us gradually. I think often of the Scripture that says they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. I believe God always hears every prayer and takes note of every act of obedience. I really believe your obedience in being anointed and prayed for was rewarded. I have been hearing more about colostrum lately. I am thankful you explained it in detail. Thank you so much for sharing all of this. Praising God along with you, sweet friend, for the wonderful medical report. God is SO good! Yes! Such a huge answer to prayer! All glory to God! He never does a halfway job! I am seeking Him with my whole heart for the healing my husband, son, and I need. I have zero doubt that He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think.

[@mclemay6703]

Wow! Such great news! I’ve been following you for many years now. I’m so interested in having my daughter try Colostrum for her stomach issues. I wonder if it would help. Praise the Lord for your renewed health and energy!

[@whyme7400]

I really can relate to all you and Nolan have been through. I have been watching you since the beginning (Nolan and Jeanine) and admire you both immensely. I have a handicapped son and everyone in the family is affected and it is a very hard struggle, but you do learn how to survive and live with it. I always think God has a reason for everything although it is hard to accept sometimes. So glad you guys are doing well and you have such a beautiful family! God takes care of all of us. I am 80 now and wish I had this peace of mind when I was in my 20s. Your trip to Nolan's father's funeral was the bravest thing I have ever seen anyone do. Amazing.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Thank you for being up front about your medical. I'm happy to hear you're doing so much better. Medicine shouldn't be so darn costly. I was cleared 6 years ago on my colonoscopy. My doctor said I don't need to have another for 10 years. However to be safe, and proactive he wanted me to do the Cologuard test every 3 years. It's a test that is prescribed to you, sent to your home, you provide the sample, and send the sample to the lab within a period of time. It's a non evasive test, quick and easy, and it's pretty accurate. I've done one of these tests already. All came back negative. I just got the paperwork for another because it's been another 3 years.

I totally understand your story. I am 72 yrs old and was diagnosed with Crohn’s at the age 21. That was the worst time of my life. I finally went into remission years later but lately I have started having infection showing up in the intestine and am trying to get it under control with medication other than prednisone, which I despise. My youngest son was also diagnosed at age 15 with Crohn’s but at age 40 he is in remission now too. I still have to take medication to keep me from running to the bathroom due to having my gallbladder removed in 2006 and it added to the bathroom issues. So I don’t go a lot of places. I used to have to have a colonoscopy every 2 yrs but we have cut back on them now. Sorry for the long post. Praise God you are doing so well.

[@pama.6410]

So happy for your great news!!! As a long time viewer, I think there is another thing that changed life for you and changed your anxiety levels greatly. You had issues about another child, being a girl mom and all kinds of self doubt about your motherhood/womanhood abilities. With the birth of Lexi you two both grew and both learned more about what love is and what parenting should be and how you COULD do it and about male and female working together or whatever that underlying issue was. There was a noticeable change in the confidence/contentment level of both of you. A lot of unnecessary garbage has been dropped since her arrival. That surely has had a positive effect on your well being. God is good all the time. Hope you still join any suffering to Christ's for the conversion of souls or God's grace. All the best and Happy Holidays!

[@laurelarevalos9432]

Thank you for bringing education to this. I am thanking Jesus with you. It's crazy how similar journeys can be. I can relate to so much of what you said except for me it was an extremely intense mental health battle. I am now experiencing healing too. I have to focus more on my physical health now due to gaining weight from my medication. Thank you for sharing vulnerably. I really appreciate you ❤️

[@lovalin4139]

Somebody shared with me that her 9 years old brother was about to have an extensive large intestine surgery due to the similar issue.
