    Gina, I am really surprised at the vehemence of your reaction. I am Jewish, and do not feel that Tailz or Ursula are trying to convert me to Christianity. They are discussing some of the Biblical references to food preparation and the laws of Kashrut,some of which deal with the taboos on blood. Interestingly, these are the Jewish dietary laws--as far...

    Thank you, tailz! Boy, that is scary (about the lyme disease). And thank you for responding to jestgar, I never got around to it!

    Sounds like a good teacher (or at least a brave teacher)!! Our #2 is also very energetic. He is fine if he gets a good 1-2 hours a day to runaround and burn off energy. When he was a toddler, I got him outside every day no matter what the weather was like. If it was raining, I bundled him up in slicker and boots, grabbed umbrellas, and took him and ...

    Well, Dairy Queen seems unusually on top o f the gluten thing! For the best and cheapest fudge sauce, make your own. It takes like a minute longer than opening and heating Smuckers. Melt a cup of dark chocolate chips in the microwave with a tablespoon or two of butter, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in 1/4-1/2 cup of half-and-half, light cream, or...

    I can't seem to access those links for some reason...

    Oh, well, the good news is the whole thing is 3-5 days and then you're done. Lots and lots of hot chicken soup and hot licorice tea (very soothing for the sore throat) and hot lemonade (after the sores start to heal , so the acid from the lemonade doesn't sting). Pee those germs out and flush'em down the toilet!

    Thanks for the link--I sent in my suggestion, too! (But my computer wouldn't let me copy it so I could post it here )

    Hi, Penguin! Mouth sores this time of year might not necessarily be a food intolerance or allergy. The only time I ever had mouth and throat sores was when we all came down with the Cocksackie Virus, when Son #2 started daycare. It's extremely contagious, and seems to be everywhere right after the kids go back to school (and then the moms carry it to...

    So sorry to hear of your frustrating experience. Lotsa good advice here already. I would only add that people ARE just starting to hear about how severe peanut and seafood allergies are, so it may not be a bad idea to say that you are really allergic to wheat, barley, and rye, and that it's just as bad for you as it would be for someone with a severe peanut...

    Most of the time, I would prefer having an OBGYN who has actually experienced what I am experiencing. However, there was one Indian-American OBGYN I saw a few times in my practice who was really, really good--he listened to what I had to say and actually made eye contact, and I never felt rushed. He and his had 4 young children, and I got the feeling that...

    I usually marinate my fish in wine and/or lime juice for a half hour or so. Ginger works wonders in eliminating the fishy odor, but doesn't work in Italian or Greek recipes. It's yummy in Asian recipes, though!

    It's very easy to make your own powdered ranch mix, and you won't have the MSG and preservatives to deal with: All it is is garlic powder, onion powder, dill, parsley, a tiny bit of paprika, and a sqeeze of lemon or a dusting of lemon zest. For ranch dressing, just mix with mayo and milk (or buttermilk). Easy! If you need a thickening agent, add cornstarch...

    What is "sumomi" and what is a "green-egg?"

    So THAT'S why I used to get those stupid white pimples under my eyes and on my forehead? They went away after I stopped ingesting gluten. A-HA! (I learn more and more from this board....)

    One of my colleagues gets hives from a certain brand of hair coloring.

    This was neither vacuum-sealed nor on ice. This was in a plastic-wrapped styrofoam tray placed in an open refrigerated case. I suppose that it's POSSIBLE that it would still be safe to eat after 4 days--but not likely. As I am feeding 3 children, I need to know that it is definitely safe. I have had trouble at a supermarket with fish that was on...

    Here is what I just emailed to them. I will post their reply as soon as I get it. Hi, I have always read that fresh fish should be consumed within 24-48 hours of being delivered at the store where it is sold (and preferably within 24 hours). Last night (September 7), my husband purchased fresh tilapia at our local Sam's Club. The sell-by date clearly...

    Midwives weren't an option for me--I was classified as high-risk because ofpre-eclampsia during the first pregnancy, and I had severe hyperemesis for all three pregnancies, plus my oldest had heart defects. I was lucky that the high-risk practice I chose had doctors who were actually much less interventionist that many regular practices that I have heard...

    I'm so glad that you are doing so well! (I hope you are getting some sleep, too!) Amzing what gluten can do, isn't it? I don't even have an official diagnosis, but I have no desire to go back to gluten at this point! Brown rice vinegar contains WHEAT? Oh, man...

    Hmmm...I wonder if it would work to cut the butter in half and throw in a beaten egg?

    I don't want to send you into an unnecessary panic, but I have read studies linking large head circumference with autism. Given your celiac history, you might want to be on the lookout for any signs of mild autism, such as lackof eye contact, lining things up over and over, not pointing or being able to follow your finger pointing, etc. Hopefully, I'm...

    Anyone who tries to support his theories is immediately blacklisted by the scientific community, just as he has been. I did notice some papers he had written on this from 2003. I also read that the government had tried to pay him to shut up. Not surprising.

    How did they diagnosis it as mastitis rather than fibrocystic breast disease? Did you have other signs of infection (sorry if you already answered that and I missed it)?
  24. Fiddle-Faddle
    Absolutely! Hmm, somehow I missed the paragraph of explanation. Serves me right for skimming, I suppose! I'm just questioning it because I had what I'm reasonably sure was DH (it led to the blood test that showed my IgA off the charts), and when I went off gluten, the rash disappeared (as did the stomach problems that I had been ignoring to the point...
