Could someone tell me how to add the clickable smiles to my postings, I chose this area because it seemed to have a lot of guests! I know it's silly but they're soooo cute! Thank you

Candy: Hang in there. Remember it took a long time (probably) for your son's system to get to where it is. It will take some time for his system to get back to normal. My husband has been a celiac now for about 3 or 4 years and he was at that same point as your son. The key I believe is a very strict diet. My husband NEVER cheats. It's hard,...

Maybe I was mislead, we've been doing without vinegar for about 2 years...
