    How awful1 I hope you feel better soon and it never happens again! It's exactly the same as food poisoning to the rest of the population, isn't it? I guess that would make sense--your body knew it was poisoned and did everything it could to get that toxin OUT. I'm actually wondering--any chance that whatever you ate 5-12 hours BEFORE the candy might...

    So sorry to hear you were ill--I hope you feel better soon. Everybody is getting sick of me saying this, but YOU NEED CHICKEN SOUP!!!! Can someone make you some?

    Was there a sauce on the poached fish? Usually restaurant sauces are made with flour.

    According to the official CDC site, the flu shot in the US DOES contain thimerosal: Open Original Shared Link I am not blabbing indiscriminately here; I have done research on this, as has my husband, who is a PhD chemist. Thimerosal was not "taken out" of vaccines. Pharmaceutical companies were to stop producing childhood vaccines with thimerosal...

    You are probably doing better than I did when I first went gluten-free, but just in case--it took me several weeks to realize that there were several gluten-containng foods that I was eating that I didn't realize were gluten-containing! You are probably already avoiding these items, but I'll list them for any other newbies who might be making the same mistakes...

    I don't know if this is feasible for you, but when I started my kids in daycare, I went with them for a couple of hours every day for the whole week before they started for real. That way, it seemed to them (or so I thought) like a safe, familiar place where they already had had some fun times, and they knew the teachers a bit. When I had to actually...

    My information is not necessarily up-to-the minute--it comes from two different families, each with children, who lived in Japan until a few years ago. Incidentally, a Chinese friend who applied for citizenship here in the US was told that if she could not produce records of her immunizations in China, she would have to receive "catch-up" vaccines here...

    Vicky, thank you for the intelligent, thoughtful post. I have learned so much about the dangers of vaccines; much of that, unfortunately, has been from either my own experience or my children's experiences. This makes it a very emotional issue for me; I am glad you are able to keep things so calm. I agreed to have my two older children vaccinated on...

    Yum! Thanks for posting this--I'll have to try it!

    Lisa, some info for you: Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link You seem to be very casual about your health. If you are not going to go to the hospital, please at least get on the internet and do some serious PhD level research on your symptoms. You have to be able to take care of yourself in order to be truly independent....

    Aw, shucks....

    Lisa, doesn't your school have some kind of student health service you can get to? Everyone who posted is correct--you really need an MD to look at this and rule out the many serious possiblities. Black poop is a serious problem. Ibuprofen might make it worse. Swelling and pain are serious problems. Tylenol won't help the CAUSE of this problem...

    Hope you feel better soon, Bev! Two words: CHICKEN SOUP!!!!!!!!! Drink as much as you can get down. Go to the Chinese Take-out and get some egg drop soup if you can't make your own. My friend who has his own Chinese take-out restaurant says that they never use wheat in the soup, only cornstarch to thicken and turmeric to make it that funny...

    I found: Foster Farms frozen grilled chicken strips--no gluten in the ingredients! (It does contain cornstarch, if you are sensitive to corn, you need to know that) Mareblu naturals CranBlueberry Trail Mix Crunch (contains cashews, pistachios, almonds, evap cane juice, rice syrup, cranblueberry/sugar blueberry juice solids, cranberries, sunflower...

    What gluteny things do you like? Maybe we can come up with good substitutes for you...
  16. Fiddle-Faddle
    I wish I could cure them for you!!!!! Since I'm not capable of that, I am simply sending you (and them)hugs, prayers, and positive energy. Where there is life, there is hope. (And I eat Fritos and dark chocolate chips when I'm stressed.)

    Your sister sounds jealous--and UNHAPPY. It must be obvious to her that you are in a positioin to do the mommy thing much better than she has done. Maybe , if she coudl do it again, she would do the attachment parenting/breastfeeding thing--or maybe she was unable to make it work because she was single and living in a trailer and had no support. ...

    {{{{{{Good thoughts for Patti}}}}}}}}} Rachel--I'm probably oversimplfying and over-hoping, but--maybe if the candida and mercury get dealt with, the Lyme might end up being something that stays BENIGNLY in your system? Maybe the candida and the mercury act as catalysts to the Lyme, and once they are out of the picture, the Lyme might be something like...

    Maybe it's just where I live, but I have heard many, many, many, many more stories like Ursa Major's than like Richard's. And Ursa Major's story mirrors my own experience, as well. As for the "at-risk" population, those are the same people who are at serious risk from the mercury in the flu shot from the multi-dose via. They are also more likely than...

    I hadn't heard that before--that is interesting. I have had very strange reactions to wasp and bee stings--first round of testing said that I was allergic, second round said that I wasn't. I never thought to make a connection between that and any other problems, but maybe there is a link.

    Hmmmm---I have always insisted that I thought water tasted best in glass glasses rather than plastic cups or paper cups (which my mom insisted on using when I was growing up--ugh, all our drinks tasted like wax). It never occurred to me that chemicals might be leaching into the water, though (I know, I know--DUH!).

    What is actually in the flu shot IS pertinent to whether celiacs (or anybody else) should get it. Mercury IS in any flu shot that is not coming from an individual-dose ampule. That is fact, not debatable. Mercury is dangerous for everybody, but especially to people with autoimmune disorders. And it crosses both the placenta and the blood-brain barrier...

    This recipe is in my trusty old Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook (well, it was new in 1989). Since it only calls for 2 Tablespoons of flour, seems to me it ought to adapt to gluten-free very easily: 2 Tablespoons gluten-free flour 1 Tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel 4 eggs 3/4 cup sugar 2 1/2 cups walnuts, pecans...

    We already KNOW the pharm companies have a long history of lying. There is a an enormous amount of documentation of this. Just look up Polio and SV-40. Do the doctors and nurses lie? No, I don't believe they are lying. I think they are misinformed.

    Yikes! What time do you have to be at work?
