    Sorry, I didn't. I did click on the link, but when it asked me to accept that my answers would be saved, along with my computer info, I X-ed out. I don't want them sending me info, cookies, or any other surveys, let alone keeping my computer info. I don't know enough about them. Anyway, since I didn't see it, that's why I posted two possibilities that...

    jayhawkmom, I am guessing that the small mouth question is there as a way of collecting data. For all we know, a small mouth might have something genetically in common with Asperger's; perhaps it's on the same gene as the one responsible for low mercury threshold. The number of autistic kids that I see who need expanders is high; in fact, my son seems to...

    I found these: Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link There was a lot more, but that's a good start. When I was in high school, one of my music teachers was writing a dissertation on sound and color. She did a survey to see how people assigned color to certain musical keys. She said EVERYBODY she...

    Good question! Sorry, I don't know the answer.

    Question about the grapefruit: If it interacts with opioids, and gluten is an opioid, could one of the reasons gluten intolerance took so many decades to hit me be that I always ate a lot of grapefruit???

    Ursa Major, thank you for the enlightening and fascinating history--I had no IDEA! Wow. I must have been very lucky--I think the teachers I had in the public school were strongly affected by the 60's, and we were taught to think for ourselves. Interesting to see the teachers my kids have, though, and the methods they use. The previous math curriculum...

    Sorry, Debbie, I didn't mean you! I meant Ursa Major's son's teacher (and other teachers who think that the child MUST do the math problem the prescribed way, even though they can get the correct answer by doing it a different way). 3 weeks out of 4 years, and they call it a specialisation????!! Who do they think they're kidding? That's like trying...

    The ironic thing is, the Aspies are considered "rigid?!" Who's being rigid here? The (supposedly normal) teachers!

    My favorite part was that it was so ridiculously EASY!!!!! And no messing with gluten-free flours!!!!

    {{{{HUGS}}}} She does live on, in a sense, in the wonderful memories you carry in your heart. Not the same, I know, and not much comfort right now. You might try writing down a lot of your memories of her right now; memories sometimes fade with time. Also, her family might be comforted by your memories.

    Georgie, I think she does know what she is talking about, but I think that there are two distinct groups of thyroid patients. One group does well on Synthroid and/or other synthetic thyroid hormones, and one group does not, but does do well on Armour. I can't help wondering if there are patients who do NOT do well on Armour? At this point, I have no reason...

    Many people with FIbro pain actually have undiagnosed celiac. Think about it--the symptoms are identical....

    I hate the flashing things, too!! ADD and Asperger's are both on the autism spectrum, and I'm not convinced that there is a totally clear line between them; seems more like a gray area to me. Both ADD people and Aspies can have some symptoms of the other. In the end, I'm not even convinced that separate labels are necessary. Either way, you're somewhere...

    I'm so glad you posted this! There is a Jimmy John's downtown where I work, and I never would have imagined that they had an "Unwich," and I wouldn't have dreamed of walking in the door! Thank you!!!!

    Thanks, guys--this is all very interesting. Georgie, I wouldn't want you to switch from Armour! Obviously you do well on it. But why do some do well on Synthroid and some not? I wonder how they determine that levothyroxine is what is CAUSING the bone loss? Are they directly comparing it with Armour, or are they comparing it to people who are not on...

    I went to my endocrinologist yesterday, who is surprisingly knowledgeable about the connections between autoimmune thyroid disease and celiac. She even said that many people who are diagnosed with diabetes actually have celiac, and their diabetic symtpoms disappear when gluten-free. About a year ago, I had been complaining about alternating feeling hyper...

    Would this be orthostatic postural hypotension? That means that your blood pressure goes DOWN when you stand up, and not enough blood gets to your head (at least, that's how it was explained to me). Could it also be somehow related to thyroid?

    This sounds fantastic, and I can't wait to try it. One question, though: how can it be foldable AND crispy at the same time?

    I had this idea, and it worked!!! I am SO psyched! Blend: 8 ounces mascarpone cheese 15 ounces ricotta cheese 1/4-1/3 cup sugar Add chopped nuts or grated chocolate or mini chocolate chips as desired. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Scoop out and if mixture is stiff enough (depends on brand of ricotta, I think), roll into cannoli-size...

    I'm just glad you're home, safe, and healthy! I was getting really worried for a while there. I wonder--if your mom ever looks back on her tantrums with embarrassment. Maybe you could print out some stuff about neuro celiac and rage? Maybe she'd feel a bit better about it if she could feelthat it is not entirely her fault (blame the gluten!), and then...

    That is SO weird. I was reading your friend's vomitous reaction to Phenergan, and THAT is how I react to Percoset! One thing interesting about Phenergan for me--I eventually settled on 1/4 of a pill to help me control the hyperemesis when I was pregnant, and it helped enormously. In retrospect, I realize that I was vomiting because I was trying to eat...

    Annalise Roberts' Gluten-Free Baking Classics, IMO, is as good as these recipes. SOme of her recipes are on her website, which I think is www.foodphilosopher.com

    Phenergan is a strong antihistamine. It is prescribed as an antinausea drug; since it tends to TOTALLY knock you out, it is also given to hospitalized patients as a non-narcotic sleepinig med. The regular dose (given to me as an antiemetic during pregnancy when I couldn't keep anything down) knocked me out for 17 HOURS.

    Does Amazon have a weight limit for their flat-rate shipping charge?

    I just wanted to say to those of you who had such HORRIBLE mothers how sad I feel for what you went through, but also how very much I admire you for breaking the cycle and becoming such wonderful mothers and caring sensitive adults, yourselves. May the Lord bless and protect all of you!
