  1. The rheumatologist said that my joint pain was not likely to be related to something like Chrone's or colitis (for which I'm having a colonoscopy next month) because I don't get red, swollen joints. He gave me the pressure point test, reviewed all my records, took a detailed history, and said this is really what he thinks I have. Diarrhea is very common...
  2. I've already had the endoscopy (doesn't anyone read the signatures?! LOL) and the biopsies for celiac were negative. He's not even doing them for the colonoscopy because he's positive I don't have it.
  3. Once a special needs child turns 3 they are eligible for services through the school district. I would call them, or better yet, send them a certified letter, as soon as you can get to it. Once you send a letter they are required to look into it.
  4. LOL How's that for a disclaimer? Anyway, where he pushed was on my lower left abdomen, right where he said my decending colon was. He was ok with me not taking the Prevacid if I wasn't having reflux or heartburn.
  5. Somehow, I missed all of your responses until today! So much for the "View New Posts" feature.... Anyway, thanks for the info. I'm glad now that I didn't have it for lunch the next day, as was my plan. Well, on the plus side, I did have a reaction to it, so that sort of confirms my sensitivity to it, right? So much for my stupid GI telling me ...
  6. Well, I've been off casein since before I went off gluten (see sig... ) so it can't be that. I suspected that soy was giving me trouble so I stopped using soy milk (every morning in my cereal and in my coffee) and a couple of days ago, I suspected I may have been glutened by one of those pre-cooked chickens from Sam's. As of this date, no test has...
  7. He got me questioning myself.....for about 5 minutes! LOL Anyway, when he pressed down on my abdomen I almost lept off the table because it hurt so bad. So what do you think I should expect from these tests? I know about the prep but I'm wondering what sort of results I could get. Just what could they find? I'm still having diarrhea on...
  8. Well, every kid is different, as you know. Some kids just will not be able to handle anything other than vocational training. My son is VERY intelligent and will do very well in a technical, engineering, or programming field. I don't know about literature on this...I'd have to do some research. There are programs available (especially if your son is...
  9. The one my son goes to is in NJ. In Burlington County. Just so happens to be in our district, but kids from all over the state go there. There are aspie schools in many areas. It has done WONDERS for Alex. They let him pace himself and work in his own way. He pretty much teaches himself the math and has flown ahead in that area. The language is...
  10. That was a quote from me. We did have his hearing checked when he first started having speech problems. Although he did poorly on the behavioral tests (probably because of his low sensory registration) he aced the ABR. As to the information you posted about your son--thanks so much for giving me a glimpse of what I can hope for for my 12 y.o. aspie....
  11. Kinnikinnik bread isn't too bad, but it's spongy if it's not toasted, so it'd be perfect for grilled cheese. Whole Foods also has a white bread that's not bad. You have to look in the frozen food section for both of these breads. Kinnikinnik is only availabe at certain stores (I found one near me from their website) and Whole Foods bread is obviously...
  12. I second that! Thanks for thinking of it, Ursula. Thanks, I do take Relpax for the migraines as a PRN. It works pretty well. But some days the migraine hits on the way home.....
  13. I'm glad you explained that because all I could think of when I saw your name was "heiney" ya know...like rear end.
  14. I'm not sure I want to know what either of those mean.
  15. Interesting....I grew up in Gloucester County, and now I live in Burlington County. Not *too* far from Marlton, but a little more toward the shore. I work in Trenton so I probably drive by your house every day. I'll wave on the way home tonight!
  16. Very many kids with Asperger's do have SID, but SID doesn't have many of the components of AS. From Open Original Shared Link DSM-IV DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR ASPERGER'S DISORDER A.Qualitative impairment in social interaction, as manifested by at least two of the following: (1) marked impairment in the use of multiple nonverbal behaviors such...
  17. That is actually very clever! Makes me feel a little less goofy for ensuring that my 3rd child's name had a 4 letter nickname so he would match the rest of us. Another Jersey girl! But....you LOVE it????? LOL North or South (because there IS a difference!)
  18. You know the ones I'm talking about, where they cook a whole little chicken for you and sell it in the plastic try with a cover. I had some last night at my IL's and now I'm wondering if it's ok. The only thing it said on the package was "Seasoned Pre-cooked Chicken." I think it was from Sam's. Did I do a boo-boo?
  19. "mythreesuns" is a reference to.....you guessed it, my three sons! Edited to add: I forgot to mention that the reason why it's mythreesUns instead of mythreesOns is because when I first used that username on WebMD (as soon as I found out my 3rd was a boy) mythreesons was already taken. Plus, well, I guess, on occasion, they do light up my life...
  20. ROFLAMO!!!! This happened well before my own personal gluten concerns, otherwise I would've been checking the label! LOL Given your own family dynamics, you might be able to appreciate this mix: *12 y.o. Asperger's child who is extremely sensory defensive *9 y.o. Tourette's child *2 y.o. with low sensory registration and limited language...
  21. FYI, I agree with all of this, but keep in mind that SID can go the other way as well. I have a 2 y.o. who also has SID, but he is UNDERsensitive to almost every sensation--touch, taste, motion, etc. This is a kid who LOVED the taste of Windex, didn't respond to sounds not because he didn't hear them but because they didn't always "stimulate" him enough...
  22. Doh! Um, what's a Kroger? The only 2 choices I have for this kind of food (as far as I know) is Trader Joe's (small selection) or Whole Foods. Whole Foods does have something like a bulk section, so I'll check there. I didn't really know what I was looking for before so I just kept looking in the baking aisle. Well, now, that's...
  23. Ok, um, you're stupid. Seriously, though, you have no idea how many times I almost finished my kids' pb&j, or licked my fingers after buttering their toast. We've all been there, so if you're stupid, then so am I!
  24. Now THIS is more like it! Steve, I don't know you that well so I'm not here to comment on your state of mind, but I just wanted to say that this OT post is much more refreshing than recent OT debates/bashing/defending/etc..... The other posts, I'm not touching. Making good-natured fun of a friend? Now I'm all FOR that!
  25. Aren't they though? TOTALLY not biased at all, am I....
