    We always gave our kids fresh broiled salmon--we flaked it for them and let them pick it up as finger food. You can usually find it on restaurant menus (ask for it without glaze or soy sauce or whatever they put on it). It's very healthy and easy to digest.

    Wow, Franceen, I just saw your "undiagnosed DH" tag line--that's me, too! Germany isn't so far from Sweden, Norway, Holland, but don't they have much higher rates of diagnosed celiac disease? Are the crops so different, or the farming/harvesting techniques, or is the diet very different? More fish the closer one is to the sea, I suppose, but what else...

    You may very well be correct, Peter,; I'm just playing Devil's Advocate here: what if your nearly extinct villi had something to do with your reaction? Or what if there are different levels of reaction among us, like some of us don't react to oats, but others do? Could that apply to spelt and barley as well? And those two ideas are probably completely...

    My husband bought me a cookbook several years ago called Cooking Pennsylvania Dutch Style by William Woys Weaver, written in 1993 It gives a lot of very interesting historical information including this about spelt, which apparently is very important in PA Dutch cuisine: "Spelt is called Dinkel in Pennsylfaanisch. It was known as German wheat in colonial...

    Ursula has done much more research about soy and probably knows muchmore than I do about it. However--if constipation is the only problem, you might try giving him lots of "stone"fruits to eat: peaches, pears, nectarines, plums and mangos. Not the juices, the fruits--they have much more fiber, etc. My daughter wwas breastfed, and she was very constipated...

    Hi, Julie, I'm so sorry you've been going through this. I know how awful and frightening it is. I agree completely with Ursula that it was the vaccines, not just a virus from the office, especially considering your own medical history and the fact that your baby is on formula (for which I do NOT judge or blame you!). I would wait for several MONTHS...

    WOW! I"m just sitting here with tears running down my cheeks, I'm so happy!

    Two years ago, I would have called a 9 dollar shipping charge highway robbery, but with gas prices these days, it's not so bad, is it?

    Christine, I dated a real loser for only 2 months, and I never could figure out what happened to my brain during that time, or why it wasn't working. Finally, one of my best friends said, "Look, would you be happier with him or on your own?" The truth was, I was scared of being on my own, which was asinine, as I'd been on my own for years before those ...

    Tanya--wished on a star tonight! My husband is getting up early to take a download of Megan's website to the Sisters of Divine Providence's prayer board. Lots of good thoughts, prayers, and love from Alison & co.

    That's how I felt with all three of my pregnancies--evey time I vomited (many times per day), it felt like my body was deperately trying to rid itself of a poison. With the first one (where I refused anti-nausea meds as I was so worried about the side effects), the only thing keeping me from suicide was the fact that I so wanted the baby...REALLY made me...
  12. Fiddle-Faddle
    Good night, Tanya--hope you and Meg had a good day and will have a restful night!

    Sorry, Andrew, but you are being SO condescending here, it's disgusting. I have never been through what these people have been through, but I wouldn't presume to not believe them. There is where Western Medicine is a total failure. I realize you are probably spouting what other doctors have told you, but they just don't know any better. Someday, you...
  14. Fiddle-Faddle
    I'm sorry you were given such a runaround by people who are supposed to help you. However, taking prednisone without medical supervision is unbelievably foolish. You're really messing further with your immune system there. I actually agree with Andrew here. If Lisa was having appendicitis or pancreatitis and they didn't test her for it, they would...

    Isn't Morfin Voldemort's uncle in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince? Or was that his grandfather?
  16. Fiddle-Faddle
    No!!!Don't leave it at that!! Tell me more!

    Can you have inflammation without histamine? Do we produce histamine when we sprain an ankle and it swells? Or is there a different mechanism? I'd ask my husband, he's a chemist, but he's snoring right now...
  18. Fiddle-Faddle
    For some reason, bananas have always given me reflux, which makes no sense to me as I can't think of anything blander than a banana. (The GI doc thought I was mental when I told her that.)Could that be a histamine response? As far as I know that's the only fruit that I react to.

    Pant! Pant! (I'm out of breath from frantically trying to keep up with this thread! ) Vincent, I get silent migraines that are very similar to what you describe. I get what they call an aura (which is a visual distrbance, even though it sounds like I ought to be glowing)--everything looks more or less normal except for the millions of tiny black dots...

    Neither does my son, who does have Asperger's. Where did that list come from? (Edit: he does still have problems with eye contact and some social stuff, and he did have most of those problems at age 3, but with lots of work, help, and prayers, he has conquered them.) (I'm not implying that anyone on this thread HAS Asperger's--I just think that maybe...

    Let's hope the baby originally scheduled before her is just fine and just doesn't need surgery any more. The earlier time should be much better for Megan, especially if she's NPO. Michael's surgery was on a Tuesday, too! Tuesday must be peds cardio day all over the country, I guess. I think we got to the hospital at 5:30 or 6 am, something like that...

    As long as it doesn't list any gluten-containing ingredients or warnings, I don't see why it wouldn't be okay. I think, these days, most manufacturers are carefully covering their butts on the CC issue by printing the warning, "may contain wheat" after the list of ingredients if the product is produced on lines shared with wheat. I use the Manischevitz...

    "I'm a believer" is one of the Monkees' greatest hits! It's the 5th one down, I think.

    Sorry it took me so long to read this thread, I took kind of a long vacation in Rachelville.... Psawyer gave a good explanation of kosher. To confuse things more, though, there is also "Kosher for Passover," which means that the product can NOT contain leavening; most people think it means "no wheat" because there are so many wheat-free baked goods available...
