  1. I agree - my son doesn't even go through the lunch line, I send absolutely everything from home. I worry that if he thinks he can have "something" he'll think he can have "everything". Good luck - can you speak to the Principal or whoever is in charge of the cafeterias at County level?
  2. My son's Gastro mentioned this as we left his office on Thursday and I was so underwhelmed with all the other information and results we got that day that I didn't ask any many questions as I should have, but basically... he said that there is a pill being tested that's probably 5 years away from FDA approval that would counteract the effects of gluten...

  7. That's great news!
