    I haven't posted here in a while but thought I might chime in. If you have only eliminated gluten then there are a host of other things that may be contributing to your fatigue. Some have been mentioned. I would suggest candida as a possibility. It's hard to test for it but I know how much it effects me. I would recommend a great book I just finished reading...

    Happy birthday!

    Stay the course! Diet is not the only component of your recovery. Stress reduction, sunlight or vitamin D exposure, exercise until you sweat, and some more time. I would highly rec. sunlight. Vitamin D was the final part of my recovery.

    I personally didn't do the SCD but I did do my own version of it which was to eat only foods found in nature that you could eat in their near natural state. It, along with some other therapies, worked. I just had a bagel for breakfast because it's all I could find this morning. Is that a good choice for someone with the propensity to have gastro neuro issues...

    Have you ever checked out www.dogtorj.net ? He also helped fill in some gaps for me. Everywhere you look there are people with answers. Michael Pollan, Barry Sears, Dean Ornish and Robert Atkins not to mention the myriad of others like Gottschall, Gates and all of the other "fringe" people with opinions on how to cure cancer by adjusting the body's PH...

    I finally bought Gottschall's book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle. It's terrific. Full of good, common sense advice and explanations with scientific references. I was expecting a low carb diet book so I never looked into this before. It has added another dimension to my understanding of the role our digestive system plays in our health.

    There is a one hour video at www.mercola.com regarding vitmin D and the role it plays in hundreds of health problems. It is worth watching. You've gotten some good advice. A strict diet that includes some probitics and some light exercise (enough to sweat) and sunlight as well as a reduction in your stress levels are all factors I would consider in trying...

    I would keep him off milk, wheat and soy. You are not a bad parent if you don't give your kid a creamy white liquid to drink several times a day. I know from experience you will feel like one but rest assured you are not. Your child also needs enough sunshine and probiotics to begin the gut healing process. I gauge my children's health based on what's...

    some more reading from NPR. check out related stories at the bottom of the page Open Original Shared Link

    Just read this. This is the first article I've read that put probiotics and sunlight together as treatment. Speaking from my own experience this is exactly what has worked for me.

    Open Original Shared Link I was listening to NPR yesterday and the Science Friday show. They were discussing bacteria and bleach. The human body apparently makes its own bleach. The science is interesting but I posted the link because there are several other stories on the site that discuss bacteria and illnesses. The other interesting story discusses...

    I meant me leaning towards mold. So what toxins are we talking about that effect the child's brain and how or do we know? What is the method that mercury burdens the childs brain to the point he or she no longer functions normally or does the mercury suppress the immune system and other toxins effect the brain?
  14. Ken70
    So why the relationship to rainy climates? I think we each tend to lean towards the thing we suffer from or know the most about as the cause. I would argue mycotoxins from mold are the determining factor but it would only be a guess. What we need is an economist like the guy that wrote Freakonomics to study these diseases. They make amazing conclusions from...
  15. Ken70
    Open Original Shared Link Some of the theories are interesting but there are a couple of simpler possible explanations. My gut tells me lack of sunlight (recognized in the article) and exposure to mold would be the likeliest culprits. At least the researchers are getting closer....maybe.
