    Hope you don't mean Kellogg's Corn Flakes, because they are definitely NOT gluten-free (they contain malt, which is from barley, which is gluten). Most dieticians know very little about gluten, unfortunately...

    I hope things are improving for you. Are you home now? You need a doctor like House on your case! (In fact, I think thyroid storm was mentioned on one of the House episodes last week...

    "Eye-opening" doesn't quite say it all...

    How are you defining "enjoy?" It seems to me that people could have spared 5-10 seconds to glance at and listen to an extraordinary musician. The number of people who didn't even glance his way or slow down their stride DOES shock me. Are people in such a hurry that a few seconds cannot be spared for something like one of the best violinists of the...

    Wow, I am so far behind, I may never catch up! But I just saw this and wondered if anyone was still in touch with Penguin? She was diagnosed last year with Crohn's--but it might very well be Lyme, mightn't it?

    OUCH!!! However, I would sort of agree with you in that I don't think he chose the kind of pieces that would make most people stop and listen. Now, if he had done an encore piece like this: Open Original Shared Link, I bet he would have had a huge crowd. Performance is pretty much the same thing, on stage or on the street: you have to play pieces...

    I was referring to the text: "But the behavior of one demographic remained absolutely consistent. Every single time a child walked past, he or she tried to stop and watch. And every single time, a parent scooted the kid away."

    When I was a grad student at Juilliard, my roommate and I used to take our instruments to the corner of Broadway and 72nd and play duets for an hour or two--and we would usually earn $20-40. But that was in the 80's. Maybe times have changed, or maybe it's just a DC thing. The really eye-opening thing is the part about the children...

    Hi, everybody. Mamaw (Sande) emailed me that she was hospitalized with sudden major thyroid problems. Apparently, her thyroid suddenly became super-hyper, pumping out massive amounts of hormone that sent her heart into afib. I got the feeling from her that the doctors didn't seem to know what's causing this or what to do. So please join me in some...

    Yeah, my garfava flour and any bean-containing-flour mix that I have used smells absolutely disgusting! I very nearly threw the batter away, but that horrid rotten-egg smell does bake away, somehow. Strange, though, isn't it?

    You can have celiac and only have some damaged villi! In fact, you can have celiac and have villi whose damage is only visible under a microscope. So not having all your villi damaged does NOT indicate that it is not celiac. Many of us believe that celiac (defined as damaged villi) is what happens when a gluten-intolerant person continues to ingest gluten...

    Did you feel better off gluten, or do you think there is still something else causing problems?
  13. Fiddle-Faddle
    If you spend a week or so making great gluten-free meals for him, including really good gluten-free breads (there are some wonderful recipes here), and gluten-free pastas, maybe he might notice that he is feeling better (especially if you don't tell him that they are gluten-free)???? The other option is to have the celiac specialist talk to your husband...

    Is he saying he barfs it right up onto his feet?

    I'm so glad you have a good doc--that's something most of us haven't seen! I myself don't have an obvious reaction to being glutened, which means I don't know when I'm getting poisoned until my system can't take it anymore. Then I get DH and very minor loose stools/constipation/bloating, but nothing like what most others here experience.
  16. Fiddle-Faddle
    Hmmm. I suspect that your bloodwork was negative because you were already off gluten for two weeks when the blood was drawn. How is your gluten challenge set up? Are you just waiting for a noticeable reaction or are you planning to have blood drawn or a biopsy? Because now that your intestines have healed, it may take months for you to have a noticeable...

    Interesting. It is very unusual for someone on the autistic spectrum to lie, as usually they are hyper-aware of rules, and extremely rigid about breaking them. Sounds like he is making up his own rules. Maybe what you are describing here is more of an OCD thing?
  18. Fiddle-Faddle
    I totally agree! I remember reading somewhere (It was 4-5 years ago) that the highest concentration in America of those on the autistic spectrum (or suffereing from mercury poisoning, if that's more accurate!) is in Silicon Valley...

    Wouldn't Braggs Liquid Aminos still be a problem for someone sensitive to soy, as it is derived from soybeans?

    Au contraire, mon ami! (Sorry, I like Hercule Poirot!) check this out: Open Original Shared Link

    With all due respect, Ursa, I strongly disagree with a regular breastfeeding schedule as being every 3-4 hours. You are the first mom I have ever met who was able to make that work! And while I am glad for you that it did work, I think it is potentially dangerous to advise a new mom to use that schedule--it is a FORMULA schedule, and rarely works for breastmilk...

    I ust reread--feeding on both sides will increase your prolactin levels, which would be a good thing. But feeding on one side at a time can work too, as long as you don't wait 2 hours til the next feeding. You don't WANT her to be satisfied for longer at this point, you want her to nurse often, because that is what will get you to produce more milk. Are...

    Are you nursing the baby every 30-90 minutes? Going any longer than that during the first few weeks, for most women, will not stimulate your breasts enough to produce milk. I know the doctors say every 2-3 hours, but seriously, I think they are full of crap. My first baby was dehydrated until the La Leche Lady told me to feed much more often. Also,...

    Does Thai fish sauce contain soy? It does taste similar, you just need to use less because the flavor is quite strong. It mixes nicely with lime, sugar, rice wine, rice wine vinegar, curry powder or 5-spice powder, honey, etc.

    I suspect that MOST autistic people do have celiac. They are simply undiagnosed. And would also suspect that a good portion of them have a neurological presentation, rather than intestinal (or possibly in addition to it. EVERY single mom of an autistic kid with only one exception that I met at my son's various therapies said that their kid had diarrhea...
