For any of you in NH... I would highly suggest a visit to Balance Point in Milford, NH. I spent about two hours with Christine (The Holistic Doc) to discuss my current food allergies. She is amazing. I think she would also be awesome for children! She works only with folks that suffer from food allergies and celiac disease. She suggested several...

How exciting! You will be fine! IEP and 504's are tricky stuff. Depending on what your IEP states you should be covered. I would suggest reading it over before your next meeting. You can always add things to an IEP at any point if you are not happy with what is happening. An IEP is usually much more specific than a 504. I would make sure that your...

sedunk replied to lillybug's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Greetings, I am a sixth grade teacher and I will tell you that it doesn't get easier with age. I have had both ends of the spectrum. From students crying wolf, to students who refuse to see the nurse when they really need to. I would suggest a reward system or sticker chart for good behavior. If she doesn't cry wolf I may offer a special snack... -

Greetings, I am about to fire my PCP. I met with her last week. She told me that she thinks I am depressed and not sleeping enough. That is why I feel tired. I feel tired because I am anemic!

Greetings Rebecca, My last message was sent before I finished. . You may also be allergic to your cosmetics. My lips and mouth area blew up when I recently used some este lauder lip gloss.

Greetings, As a teacher, I am so sorry to hear that your school district is being that difficult. If I were you I would request a nut free classroom.
