    Okay--the prefab gluten-free cookies taste like dried out sponges and cost a fortune. For now, get Fritos, they calm the cravings, and then ya gotta invest in: gluten-free Baking Classics by Annalise Roberts superfine brown rice flour (Authentic Foods brand is best, Whole Foods carries it, or you can order online) white rice flour (buy at Asian grocery...

    Good morning, Rachel! Good heavens, girl, it's not even 5 am where you are--don't you ever sleep?????

    I know people who have MS and Lupus. I feel so grateful not to have either of those, and I feel so much BETTER off gluten, and I have found so many delicious recipes here, that I honestly don't feel frustrated. Really, the only frustration for me is the lack of convenience foods, but I am learning to make big batches of the things I like and freeze them...

    Also--wash hands every time you leave a building or come home! (As well as the obvious bathroom times.) This is something that teenage boys rarely do. Purell and wipees do NOT do the job. Purell might kill organisms, but they stay on your hands--and if they make their way to your mouth, your immune system will still be set off. I did find that not...

    Never was an issue for us--we just sneaked off to the guest room or the living room couch! As for no sex for a year, it was literally 6 months after the birth before I could sit down without any pain (HORRIBLE hemmorhoids after the birth), so I wasn't the least bit interested until after that, anyway.

    According to my husband (a PhD chemist), ANYBODY who takes organic chemistry ought to agree with you. He says that ANY exposure to mercury can be deadly--that is what he was taught and what they practice in all the labs. When one of the pediatricians tried to convince me that thimerasol was a different kind of mercury and therefore not a problem, my...

    Both the crib and the changing table turned out to be a total waste for us. Changing the baby on a towel on the bed was WAY easier and safer, and when he started to turn over and roll, a towel on the floor was even safer. The crib ended up storing stuffed animals. I slept way better when the baby was in bed with me (between me and a bedrail, so that hubby...

    You'll probably be MUCH healthier this year! (Just remember to wash your hands a lot! Soap and hot water work WAY better than Purell and/or wipees.)

    Look up acrodynia: Open Original Shared Link Symptoms are very similar to autism. It was diagnosed around the turn of the 1900 century in children who were given teething powders that contained--mercury. It disappeared as soon as they stopped manufacturing the teething powders.Nobody ever hears about it any more. Vaccines were first given to the...

    Not necessarily. What you suggest is true for many kids, but not all, certainly not mine. The MMR is often the "Trigger" , and many parents even have video proof that their kids were totally different (i.e., autistic) after it. However, my son had no discernable reaction to it. It was the DTP that all my kids reacted to. My first had it at 2 months...

    Beautiful picture, Laura! I wonder about the safety, though, of having your birthday listed--or am I just paranoid?
  12. Fiddle-Faddle
    That would be the tetanus shot--except it's "packaged" with 2 other vaccines, diptheria and pertussis. THat just happened to be the vaccine all three of my kids had a MAJOR reaction to. After the first one, they swore up and down that the problem was the live pertussis, and that the new acellular version would not cause reactions. As usual, they lied...

    Happy Almost-New-Year, everybody! May 2007 bring peace and good health to all! And I want to add my deep appreciation for everything all of you have taught me this year. Without all of you, I probably would not have known enough to defy the Great Lord Dermatologist and go gluten-free.

    I've been assuming that these "normal" people are actually undiscovered celiacs who are just entering the learning curve...

    I swear, this is somehow linked with vaccines (which used to contain mercury) the same way autism spectrum disorders are. When my oldest son was 15 months old, he was given the MMR vaccine (a week before a friend called us up and said not to get it). When he entered kindergarten, we opted not to get the second (supposedly required) dose, but when he...

    I've been to 5 different Giant Eagle Grocery stores in the last 2 weeks, hunting for San-J wheat-free tamari--and they don't carry it anymore. And they WERE carrying Authentic Foods brown rice flour, and they don't carry IT anymore, either. Grrr.

    I wouldn't put my cats--or kids, for that matter--in the laundry room for the night, either! But maybe your laundry room is nicer than mine. At any rate, I think the spraying in the face is not inhumane , is perfectly appropriate, and much nicer than keeping her in the laundry room. It sounds like you have come to a very intelligent and well-thought...

    After one of my friends first said that she couldn't talk anywhere in the house when her baby was sleeping, and then unplugged her answering machine because she said when it clicked, it woke up her baby in the other room, I decided that my babies were going to be used to a lot of noise. We used to put them to sleep while we watched the news. It worked great...

    Great news!

    That doctor in Edmonton showed a shocking disregard for both Victoria's health and your own intelligence, as well as an equally shocking lack of knowledge. The biopsy was unnecessary, and, given her age and lack of gluten ingestion, totally pointless. I would never go back to him. Just out of curiosity, did Victoria ever react to strawberries before...

    Actually, I agree with you on this.
  23. Fiddle-Faddle
    Oh. I understand a little bit better now. So sorry I was barking up the wrong tree there! It almost sounds like she needs to be legally declared incompetent, but I guess that would open up a whole other can of worms, wouldn't it? (Sigh.) Can her husband have her name taken off all the financial stuff and just give her a small allowance? Can he close...

    Angie, you're so good at the baking. Have you been able to figure out a way to make the dough in advance and freeze it so you can bake it like "Pop'n'Fresh?" I don't mind baking them for half an hour or so, it's the mixing and rising that just takes more time, organization, and concentration than I can manage in a typical day!
  25. Fiddle-Faddle
    Angie, those look UNBELIEVABLY GOOD!!!!!!
