Keith Olberman is the A-NUMBER ONE REASON my son is gluten-free and no longer miserable. I know I've posted this before, but for those of you who don't know.........

My husband and I were watching MSNBC one night during the Michael Jackson trial. Keith Olberman was auctioning off these ridiculously, stupid-funny tounge depressor puppets he used to depict the trial on a daily basis. (It was so stupid it was funny! :)) Anyway, at the end of one of his shows he mentioned that all proceeds from the E-Bay auction would be donated to one of the Celiac Disease foundations. We had never heard of it before so we googled Celiac Disease. We were truly at a loss for words when we read about it. I vividly remember saying to my husband, "My God, this sounds like Zachary." Fast forward....Zachary has now been 100% gluten-free since March 2006 and has done a complete 180. He doesn't have a single, solitary god-awful symptom that he suffered from for two years and his behavior is that of a typical 3 1/2 year-old. Talk about being at the right place at the right time....

**PS--The "highly respected" pediatric GI we took Zachary to *emphatically* told us his issues had "nothing to do with his diet" and the relationship to removing gluten and his behavior was "purely coincidental". :huh: He felt we were probably givng him too much fiber (whole grains) and it was probably making him gassy/crampy and giving him diarreah.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
