    {Sigh}I really need to go do my PT exercises, but I'm having such fun lurking here. Besides, it's hard to hold a good stretch when you're falling on the floor laughing...

    Hmmmm..what do you think might happen if we all pray that prayer with Ursula? I mean, is it too personal a thing for us to do? Is this a sort of sacred thing between Ursula, Ken, and God? Would we be somehow tresspassing? Or is there another third-party prayer we could all do? (Somehow, I suspect that my own, "Dear God, please get it through Ursula's family...

    I'd rather be ALONE than be with your family, too. Seriously, your family is NOT a good representation of neurotypicals! I admit to being extremely judgemental here, but I wouldn't even call them a good representation of humanity! Now, if you lived in our family, I'm sure we would drive you crazy, too--but it would never be because we are inconsiderate...

    Jayhawkmom, if you don't already have Special Diets for Special Kids by Lisa Lewis, please try to find a copy. She talks at great length about kids with these issues who will eat nothing but nuggets and fries. She put in a lot of gluten-free CF recipes (and this was way back before Annalise Roberts even thought about gluten-free!). gluten-free ingredients...

    Sorry, Vincent, I didn't mean to imply that medical intervention is never necessary! When it is necessary, we are lucky to have it! I have another friend whose daughter is deaf in one ear. They have no idea what caused it or when it happened. . It wasn't picked up until she was in second grade. I'm glad your little guy's hearing is okay!

    I was never able to sleep in contact lenses. I only trieed for a week, and every time I dozed off, I would jump awake and think, "I have PLASTIC in my eye!" Then I would have to take them out. The one time I did manage to sleep in them, when I woke up, I did what I've done every morning since I was 4--I reached for my glasses and put them on. I decided...

    I agree with GirlNinja--my kids are usually better in 12-24 hours, but every now and then, there'll be a particular vicious virus that knock'em flat for 3-5 days. I don't know anything about ear tubes, but I did read in the paper yesterday that the medical community is FINALLY realizing that recurrent ear infections are not usually bacterial and don't...

    AutumnE, I have the same eye problems you have, but my recent tests for lupus and Sjogren's were negative. I've noticed the eye problems (dryness and twitching) are much, much worse when I am simply tired. I also get hiccups when I'm very tired, and so do all my kids. If I take out my lenses and soak them for 5 minutes, I am fine for the rest of the day...

    I thought I would sort of nip things in the bud by cutting my hair short. BAAAAD idea! I've compromised--shoulder length (used to have long braids)!

    Wow, Nic--when my daughter was 5 weeks old, she ran a fever, and the pediatrician immediately had her admitted to the hospital and treated for bacterial meningitis--which it wasn't. They determined on the 4th day that it was 5th disease. I do understand why they felt they had to treat it as meningitis, though. And I also found out that between 4-7 weeks...

    Hey, Shrimp, tell us what gluteny foods you are desperately craving--most of us probably have recipes for whatever it is (and we can clue you in on where to get bizarre ingredients such as Xanthan gum)! Some people here swear by some mail-order gluten-free bakeries, too. Once you get through the first 2 weeks, it gets SO much easier, really. My first...

    Cereal is usually a good bet at this point: Dora cereal, or gluten-free rice krispies. I can't remember--can he handle casein? If he can. skim milke might be easier on him than the high-fat stuff. If not, Vance's Dari-Free or gluten-free rice milk would probably be easier on the tummy than soy.

    Once your immune system produces immunoglobulins against an offending substance (in this case, gluten), you will always react to the offending substance. There are many people here who continued to eat gluten before they realized what damage it could do, and they have serious problems that might never go away. I don't think you want to go there. ...

    I'm glad you're happy!

    Yes, just left-click your mouse!

    Thank you, everyone! Wow, so MANY of us are 29!

    Raisins are a MAJOR choking hazard to children under 3 years--really. Daycare centers here aren't even allowed to give them to children under 4, even if the parents pack them. I'd suggest little single-serving tubs of applesauce. THe Cocoa Pebbles Rice Krispy Treats is a good idea, too. Or what about cool new toothbrushes?

    Happy birthday, Evie! And--we have the same birthday! Also wanted to let you know that, pretty much because of you, Nini, and Lynne, I have been gluten-free since finding this board in January--even though I have no diagnosis, just a really high IgG (which the dermatologist said meant nothing, even though I had a positive dietary response) on top of...

    Could you possibly post the recipe? Until this year, I always made soup from the bones of the rotisserie chicken that I got at the supermarket, but I can't do that any more, Giant Eagle has wheat starch in their marinade.

    Ursula, it sound like you are planning very well indeed! Sorry, I did forget that you were taking a course--I think you had mentioned that you were planning to. You GO, girl! If the pastor and his wife think that Ken's reputation is more important than the harm he is doing to his wife, then I have little respect for your pastor or his values. But that...

    Ursula, I can't help disagreeing with your assessment of Ken. If my husband treated me like I am no good, and taught my duaghter to do the same, would you say he was a good person, but misguided? UUUURRRRGGHH! (Sorry, that's steam coming out of my ears--I know that I have no right to say that anyone is not a good person, but it sure sounds like Ken is...

    Sorry if this has already been suggested, but there are some unbelievable good recipes in Annalise Roberts' GLuten-Free Baking Classics. There is somethign she calls Submarine Sandwich Bread which tastes to ME like the artisanal bakery breads, and the sandwich bread leaves Kinnikinnick's in the dust! The Sub bread is made in a French bread pan (with little...
