I think I remember reading that some people on here homeschool their kids. I'm looking for some GOOD online resources to look into doing this. I would love some recommendations; where do I start researching homeschooling?

When I homeschooled, most of the resources I used were specifically Catholic .... if you're not Catholic, they would be no help to you at all. :) Let me know if you want them.

Hi I HS my 3 children, ages 7,4, and almost 3yr olds. I just started last year. At first it is a good idea to look at your state's HSing laws. Open Original Shared Link you can look your state up there and here are a few other links that might be helpful. I now have to take soy out of her diet to see if her symptoms go away again, and I cannot imagine how hard it is for those families with kids in school. She seems to be so sensitive too, any little crumb ect, brings on a ton of symptoms.

What state do you live in? I hs my 3 kids, and our state has an online homeschool program that's FREE. It's really, really comprehensive, and they send you everything from microscopes to phonics tiles in addition to all the other stuff. It's technically a public school, which is why it's free...but you can also purchase it if your state doesn't offer the program. It's called K12 and you can check it out at www.k12.com and see what you think.

There are tons of other programs out there, I've used several others as well. If you're totally starting new, you might want to start with a program like K12 or Alpha Omega (it's Christian, though...so that's up to you) that lays out your plans and has everything ready to go. As you go along, you'll find some other great resources and you may want to pick and choose a program that fits your child individually. Here are some other resources we've used:

Singapore math

EPGY math (Stanford university's online program)

Alpha Omega

Spelling Power (great book!)

Teach Your Child to Read in 100 easy lessons (great for beginning readers! So easy.)

Saxon Homeschool math

What ages are your kids? I can probably give you some other ideas based on age if you'd like.

Check out the boards at mothering.com. There is an entire homeschooling section with tons of info. Almost too much so that you don't know where to start. Our state also offers free cyber school. Including the computer, internet, books, etc.

Thank you all for your help! This is some great info to look through! This is my daughter's first year of preschool and I'm already getting really frustrated with how gluteny school is. :(

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
