About Me

with a background in psychology and special education, my calling is working with children on the autism spectrum and related disorders and their families. while my job is to teach families how to cope and move forward with their lives, i have been fortunate enough to be supported by many of these same families in my own health journey as i learn more and more about the gluten-free/CF/SF world.

    "The problem is, if I stop taking my acid reflux meds, I get terrible heartburn. I'm not sure what to do. Anyone else having a problem with acid reflux and low acidic stomach acid? How can I break this cycle? " I had to take my acid reflux meds twice a day. Once I eliminated most of my trigger foods I was able to wean down to (for the most part) once...

    i had the procedure...was in an outpatient wing of a hospital and they gave me (a 33 year old) the option to have my mom wait there with me or not. i said "no thanks" but that is because my mom tends to aggravate me. but there were kids and seniors with their families each in their beds as we all waited to get our iv's and get rolled in. the parents with...

    in regards to your daughter - once she understands why she is eating a special diet things will get easier. in schools it is VERY common for kids with dietary issues to have their own foods these days. teachers in the know will let allergy/diabetes/celiac/other special diet families know in advance of parties so the kids can bring in their own treat for...

    i drink tons and tons and tons of water to try to flush my system. i know some people take Imodium (i tried it before with mixed results - i ended up w/ constipation & severe cramps.)

    i actually have a similar situation this weekend so thanks for posting this now. i need to call the host tomorrow for our pre-party reminder check for me (i'm lucky that my friends are willing to "cater" to my dietary needs.) i think your bigger issue could/ is going to be if your food accidentally touches other people's food while cooking & the regular...

    spelt is WHEAT FREE, but NOT gluten-free - has a great taste & high in protein but all the same reactions as regular flour

    if you always let the potential rule how you live now, you will be very bored and lonely. if you really like her, ask her out. if she is the right girl she will stick w/ you no matter what - if not then it doesn't matter if you are healthy or sick.

    some times trauma (and trauma does not have to be physical injury to the head) can cause hair color to change. my grandmother turned 30 and pretty much turned WHITE overnight. no one could ever figure out why.

    many post on here increased anxiety as a side effect to glutening. for myself: the tighter i am w my gluten-free diet, the less i've experienced neuro issues such as vestibular migrains. when i do "cheat" i sometimes notice an increase of anxiety related behaviors such as increases in my need to make things work correctly (whether it's my finances, the...

    Utz has multiple factories to make their chips, pretzels, cheese puffs, etc. You may want to check w/ customer relations to be sure that the tortilia chips are not made in a factory that also makes the pretzels or cheese puffs. (i happen to <3 utz & a number of years ago had the opportunity to go on one of their factory tours.)

    me me me!!! my philosophy is this: i'm upfront w/ them and tell them "do to major allergies (which was the initial issue) and now celiac related issues i can only eat here, here, & here." i figure if they can't handle it now, why deal w/ getting to know them and then having them walk? i tend to get the following responses: Wow - a woman...

    to answer your initial question of "Is this how it happens for other people? One day, you're fine eating corn, then the next, you eat it and suddenly you can't " - yes. is it the corn? unfortunately, that could possibly be the issue. many people on the boards note that they have had to give up corn products too it COULD also just...

    im going to answer #2 first - everyone seems to have differing symptoms, however many state they suffer from the swollen belly. others get brain fog. others get massive cramping. others get headaches. the list goes on and on. some people find that adding/taking digestive enzymes and drinking tons of water as soon as symptoms show up help w/ nixing the...

    again, this will depend on the school you go to.
