    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Hi everybody, I'm back. My home computer crashed right at the same time as my kids and myself got really sick. We're all doing better now so I'm back on the computer. Dylan is still doing really well, and we're really excited about all of the changes we're seeing in him. He actually gained 3 pounds. Then he got sick and lost it all again, but at least...

    Dylan's dr. appointment is in 3 days. Does anyone have advice about where we should go from here? The pediatrician seems to be more like, "What do YOU think?" And I'm really not sure what I think. I mean, I'm not the Dr., right? I'm his Mom and I can tell her about the changes we're seeing already, but I don't know if he should have more tests, go off...

    I've been reading up on Belladonna a little bit, and for all of the reasons in the past that it has been used as a poison it has, in more recent years, been used to treat things. It can relieve pain and has been used to treat scarlett fever, whooping cough, and so many other things that I can't remember. I read that the % of alkaloids is the determining...

    Dylan has learned (from his older brother) how to stamp his foot, point at the offender, and scream either "no" or "stop". The look on his face when he does this is absolutely priceless. Sometimes it's cute Sometimes, not so much. I'm sure you've encountered much of the same.

    Okay, I went to Hylands.com and they have like a gazillion natural products on there. There's also a store locator on there so you might have better luck finding a place to buy them. I'm going to do a little more research myself to make sure they're safe. Talk about feeling like a drug dealer.

    Okay, so I checked out your link and it's kind of like "whatever". It says some think it's good, and some think it's bad. What do you think? All I know is that it works. If it's bad for him though, I won't give him any more. Maybe I should call the 800 number on the label. Now I'm the one who's confused! Dylan had some blood drawn and...

    What exactly is "Nightshade" I've heard that before.
  9. Slamey24
    Whatever IS in these things just works miracles for his poor little mouth. Dylan like to get multiple teeth at the same time. He got his first 2 teeth the same week he turned 5 months old, on the SAME day! It was like, one day: no teeth at all, the next day: two teeth on the bottom! Ever since then, he's gotten his teeth rapid fire in groups. Like 2...

    I don't know if it is or not. I'm going to check into all of the ingredients though, before he starts getting his 2 year molars. We found these and our friends have all used them. Also, his Dr. said that they were fine but that was before his diet changes.
  11. Slamey24
    Okay, here goes: CALCAREA PHOSPORICA (CALCIUM PHOSPHATE) 3X, HPUS; CHAMOMILLA (CHAMOMILE)3X, HPUS; COFFEA CRUDA (COFFEE) 3X, HPUS; AND BELLADONNA 3X, HPUS (ALKALOISE 0.0003%) IN A PLEASANT MILK SUGAR BASE. So, I never really checked into it because Dylan's only 1, but what about the coffee? I typed the ingredients exactly how they were on the bottle...

    I've found the Teething tablets in lots of places. Savon, Staters. Don't feel bad about the drugs, it makes for a much more peaceful environment. I'm going to go get the teething tablets real quick and check the ingredients.
  13. Slamey24
    Tell me about it, we would do the "piggyback" where you give him Tylenol and then 2 hours later, Motrin. Those all natural Homeopathic Teething Tablets work great (almost instantly) too but I have not checked their ingredients yet. I hope he can still have them. Oh yeah, I checked your site and he is SO cute!

    Dylan has had 16 teeth for about 4-5 months now. All he has left are his 2 year molars ( I think the same 4 you're talking about). If I remember correctly, my older son got them right at 2 1/2 years and he got all 4 in 2 weeks. Each one took about 3 days, and they all came, one right after another. It was absolutely horrible. I guess it was nice to have...
  15. Slamey24
    I bet he's so cute! No, I didn't know there was a 105th percentile. Dylan has hovered right around the 10-25th until recently (3 weeks ago, I think) when he tossed himself right off of the growth chart. He went down to 21 lbs. That doesn't sound that bad I guess, but he's coming up on his second birthday and his older brother weighed a lot more than that...

    Karen, Oh my gosh, everbyody here is absolutely amazing. I have gotten so much advice that my Dyl journal is filling up quick. Thanks for the reminder about the medecine. We're getting really good about reading all of the labels but medecine just keeps slipping my mind. Just last night my husband gave him something for his teething and I'm pretty...
  17. Slamey24
    Thanks for the support. Our son is also running around like a little crazy person. It's great! I don't think I ever really realized how uncomfortable he was until he started feeling better. Did your son have a distended tummy? If so, how long before that was back to normal? Dylans is still really big and he still has times where he cries a lot. I think...
  18. Slamey24
    Thanks a lot, Tara, You have been so helpful. It is amazing how you get used to your baby being a certain way and don't think of it as unusual until things start to get better. Dylan is still so much better than he was before. He still has his moments, but I have to remind myself that he is only 1 and he's going through a lot of big changes right now...

    Hi, my little boy has never had the "sandy" stools but he goes from being totally constipated for a few days to explosive diarrhea the next. With him, you never really know what you're going to get. The only thing that's really consistent is that they smell horrible. He's only been gluten free for about a week and a half but we're already noticing a change...
  20. Slamey24
    Thanks for the encouragement! I didn't think it was very cool of that woman either, but oh well, what can you do? He is very small for his age (just made it back on the growth chart, though) in height and weight. Add those things to the fact that his head is normal size and his tummy is bigger around than his older brothers and I suppose his appearance...

    I guess that since I'm just starting out in this, I don't really feel like I have any right to tell a complete stranger about celiac disease. I don't know enough to give her an accurate description, I guess. I'm getting pretty good at reading labels and trying new things but I think it's a bit early in the game to start "Spreading the word". It would be...
  22. Slamey24
    I think I've finally convinced my oldest that it's not a good idea to "share" with his little brother. I pointed out to him how happy Dylan is now (he didn't like it at all when Dylan used to cry all the time) and told him that it's because Dylan only eats his special food now. I also told him that if he would help me watch out for his brother and make...
  23. Slamey24
    I totally understand that he can have absolutely NO gluten. That first couple of days was when I was still going off his dr.'s orders that were simply "no wheat". The more I read and talk to people, the more I'm finding out. I went to Whole Foods today and my husband and I were standing there, trying to compare different brands and ingredients and this...
  24. Slamey24
    I look forward to trying Chebe. Thanks for the tip. We're having a b-day party for Dylan's older brother on Saturday and I'm trying to find a recipe for yummy cake or cupcakes that I can make so that he won't feel left out. We're noticing some attitude/mood changes in Dylan and people outside of our immediate family are as well. I'm trying not to get...
  25. Slamey24
    I don't think it's pathetic at all that you've memorized the list. In fact, I'm jealous. I think I should get a bigger purse because everywhere I go I have Dylan's food journal, my separate little journal for tried this...tried that... and the safe and forbidden food lists from this site. So far, so good. We're starting to notice some attitude/mood changes...
