  1. Just the Smalls? I bought a tin of the regular peppermint ones last week and the ingredient list looked okay. I don't want to give up my Altoids (wah!) so I hope it's just the smalls. Rho
  2. I eat this chopped salad a couple of times a week: chopped romaine chopped tomatoes chopped celery chopped radishes chopped sweet red pepper chopped red onion chopped cucumber 1 small chopped avacado (or less, if you're calorie counting) 1 can (drained) chuck light tuna (or 1 cup or so of chopped chicken) Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil...
  3. And I put in a third vote for direct flights only! I've travelled a lot with my 2 kids, and you just never know what's going to happen when you have to make a connection; we've had to RUN from gate to gate on a couple of occasions. I'd be okay with a direct flight, though. I was on the receiving end when my nephew flew out to see us by himself. Not only...
  4. I'm so sorry! I had a similar feeling last weekend - just wanted to cry, felt like I was weighted down, felt alone because family isn't being very supportive. My daughter (9, like your son, and also homeschooled) is the one that I first suspected of having gluten intolerance/celiac disease. She was having HORRIBLE reflux and gas, both of which seem to...
  5. My 9 y.o. daughter has been gluten-free for 2 weeks, and dairy free for nearly that long. Right after she went gluten-free, I was advised by someone, and also read, that she could have a cross-sensitivity to casein, because the structure of casein is so close to that of gluten. She is feeling better - her reflux and gasiness have decreased markedly (though...
  6. How long will she be at camp? That sounds tricky, for sure. I think the cooler full of condiments sounds like a very good idea! Rho
  7. I wish we could all go gluten-free, but my husband is not willing to try it. I'm slowly making my kitchen as gluten-free as possible. I've decided that I'll put any gluteny items in the breadbox, out of sight. I'm trying to make this transition as easy as possible for my daughter. She's been very emotional and a bit weepy this past week. At first I thought...
  8. LOL! I think my obsessive label reading, internet research and gluten-free talk has everyone around me wishing I'd stop. I keep assuring them that I'll taper off when I've got a bit of a handle on all this. It's a steep learning curve at first. I'm glad your daughter is feeling better. Mine is too, so far. Rho
  9. My daughter, aged 9, has reflux. Her symptoms (dry cough, occasional regurgitation and choking) were mild at first (started a few months ago), but really worsened over the last month or so. I tried manipulating her diet, and also tried some natural remedies, to no avail. I finally called our pediatrician about it, and was told to give my daughter Mylanta...
