    Will, I'm a mom with a 13-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy, and they go through the exact same thing. On the last day of school, a teacher gave everybody in my 13-year-old's class a bag of chocolate covered pretzels. My daughter, Rachel, was so tempted to eat them! Everyone else was! So she decided to eat just one. Nothing happened. Then she ate the whole...

    Oh, man I wish you would open a restaurant! In New Jersey!

    But if this really worked, wouldn't we all collapse in the bread aisle of the grocery store with all those bad vibes surrounding us?

    In my opinion, when you have these dramatic swings it's an indication that there's something affecting the child from the outside, whether its food or some other environmental thing. If a person just has a bad temper, they have a bad temper pretty much every day. If they are basically good natured, then that's their basic nature every day for the most part...

    Here are some cakes that we've done, though you would never call them healthful. You might be able to modify to suit your tastes, though. Hamburger Cake - bake a two layer 8 inch round cake, and another 1/2 recipe cake batter in a metal bowl the size that would be comparable to the round cake pans. Mix white frosting with some chocolate to make a tan...

    Pamela's pancake mix is really good, especially with chocolate chips in it. It doesn't take but a minute to mix them up.

    I've made them using cornstarch to coat. Then made a sauce combining hot sauce and melted butter. I thought they turned out well!

    Two of my kids love this and two hate it, so I saute the chicken and then remove 1/2 of it to make a regular chicken stew for the ones who don't like it, then make the rest for the rest of us. One of my sons calls this "Rockin' Chicken". Moroccan Chicken 8-10 boneless thighs 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1/2 chopped onion 3 cloves chopped garlic 1 small...

    Just prayed and will continue to pray for you.

    Yes, good point. Just because there are no symptoms doesn't mean damage isn't being done. And even though glutamine is naturally occurring in common foods doesn't mean it's safe to super-concentrate it and take large megadoses, especially since it enters the brain. Best to stay away from it. There are other healing supplements out there. We liked Slippery...

    Oh, just to clarify, my son has neurological symptoms of celiac. He had been having what appeared to be partial seizures, though we don't know for sure since he never had one during an EEG. He had ataxia symptoms, brain fog, rashes, but didn't have the traditional digestive symptoms, so he's not the textbook celiac type.
  12. Cinnamon
    I tried giving it to my son awhile back, and he reacted badly to it. I'd read so many good things about it being so helpful for intestinal healing, and hadn't made the association between glutamine and glutamate, but I think you are right. If a person is sensitive to MSG, they shouldn't try it. If a person has any neurological symptoms, they shouldn't try...

    Yes, we've had this and I'm sure it's from gluten. I can always tell if my son cheats because he will sleep poorly, and when he does sleep, he wets the bed, and he will be 12 years old next week! When he's gluten free, he sleeps well. I'll bet your son is getting glutened, or hasn't healed thoroughly yet. I can't imagine how hard it must be to keep an 18...

    We've tried it. We all reacted to it, but it wasn't our usual gluten reaction, so I'm not sure what happened, or if it actually was the pizza. We all broke out in an unusual rash that we'd never had before. The pizza was okay. We've never been back, so I don't know if it was just a coincidence or if it was the pizza.

    ARCHIVED Neuro

    Cinnamon replied to jacqui's topic in Doctors

    I have an 11-year-old who had many of the same neurological symptoms, and the neurologist was useless, as well as all the other doctors we saw. One doctor said that the debilitating brain fog he had was indicative of schizophrenia. This is a friendly, normal kid with both feet firmly planted in reality. I remember the day the neurologist called to tell me...

    I was just to the doctor Friday with the 3rd of my 4 children to have problems with wheat. We are Irish all the way around, and he said that even though food has gone global, our bodies are stuck back in the 12th century or so. Potatoes were the staple for thousands of years in Ireland, and even though wheat's been available for quite awhile, that wasn't...

    Noooooooooooooooooo, not the McDonald's salad!! Aargh! Well, thanks for letting me know. Darn. That was the one thing everyone liked.
  19. Cinnamon
    We go to McDonald's occaisionally and get the Bacon Ranch salad with grilled chicken, fries and an ice cream sundae or McFlurry with M&Ms. We've never been glutened there, though I think there is a thread here where people have debated whether or not McDonald's is safe. Our local McDonald's has always been okay. Boston Market has a delicious Chopped...

    Sometimes a nice, warm bath helps, maybe with a little Epsom Salts to help them detox.

    Another thing about D-Mannose is that, supposedly, in theory at least, it's supposed to bind to the lectins in gluten and keep them from adhering to the small intestine, I guess in the same way it keeps the urinary tract healthy by preventing bacteria from getting a foothold and multiplying. I was researching this when we first went gluten free. It's hard...

    Yes, it it exciting! We've tried so many supplements hoping that they will help in some way, only to have them do nothing but lighten our wallets. I have a cabinet full of them! So it's great to see some actual improvements. I think my varicose veins are doing better, unless it's just my imagination. It's great that you don't have the additional intolerances...

    Hi! I just wanted to jump in here and say that I got some serrapeptidase to try, and I think it's great! I didn't get Serralone but Serratrol, which is only 10 mg of serrapeptidase versus 1,200 mg in Serralone, but I saw the Serratrol in the health food store and thought I would give it a try. I was hoping it would help reduce inflammation for all the gluten...

    That was my first thought, too, after reading the wine post, that alcohol is absorbed through the stomach. That's what I'd always heard. But when I double checked it, I found out that 20% of alcohol is absorbed through the stomach and 80% through the small intestine, according to the sites that came up when I googled it. I also had read about okra being very...
  25. Cinnamon
    That is interesting. I would have to guess that the alcohol isn't enough to clean the villi or deactivate the gluten, though. Beer made from barley malt still bothers people even though it has alcohol, though there isn't that much alcohol in beer. Maybe I'll try boiling some glutenous spaghetti, drain it and throw out the spaghetti, then swish some wine in...
