Sad :( Aggressive Brain Tumor

I thought I'd post because it puts all in perspective. My stepdad (as much my dad as my own) called tonight and his grandson has an aggressive brain tumor. 18 months old. His surgery last week went okay and he has been recovering well. I guess we all thought that things were going well. Who would have thought that the tumor was a terror??? His prognosis is not good.

Makes food intolerance/immune disorder seem insignificant.

I'm so sorry to hear that Diane. My thoughts are with you all. Yes, it puts everything in perspective & I wish to heck it didn't b/c that would mean no brain tumor.

I am so very sorry.

I have said before we have an gastroenterologist, immunologist, endocrinologist but it isn't an oncologist so really, it's manageable. It truly does put it in perspective for sure.

Yes, it's so true. No matter how awful we may have it some days, it seems someone always has a bigger battle to fight.

So sorry about the little one, hon. I hold your family in my thoughts.

I just lost a dear friend to breast cancer at the young age of 54. But when it's a child!

Oh, when it's a child.

Prayers to you and your family. I am SO sorry!

I am so sorry to hear your news.

Love and light to this child.

From my personal (yet relatively new) experiences and success with homeopathy, I have come across youtube videos and articles about successful treatment of brain tumours with homeopathic remedies. I just wanted to gently toss the idea out there in the event that your family may wish to explore treatment outside the conventional allopathic realm of medicine.

Thank you all for your thoughts & prayers.

What a calming, reassuring group of members on this forum - you continue to amaze and reassure me - 12 months since joining.

The little guy is home and they are working on a plan for treatment. Mum is being strong (relative), realistic but still hoping for a good outcome.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
