Aint that the truth! As a mom of a little one with ADHD, isn't amazing what such seemingly benign things like the sound of a lawn mower could do??!! If you haven't read the book ADHD: Life Without Brakes by Dr. Martin Kutscher, I would defintely buy it. It's an excellent book for parents (and grandparents). I feel so sad for my little guy sometimes. ...

My just 5 year-old son was given a primary Dx of ADHD with a comorbid Dx of Anxiety Disorder and Sensory Processing Disorder in Nov. 2007 (at 4 1/2). He also has a Central Auditory Processing Delay. ALL of these difficulties are very common in children with ADHD; it's soooooooooooooo much more than hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention. Behavioral...

Does anyone know if Best's Hot Dogs are gluten-free? Thanks!

Hi! This information is very last minute........... I just found this information about the National Sensory Processing Disorder Conference. It will be held in Orlando, FL on February 23 and 24.[/color] Carol Stock Kranowitz is the Keynote Speaker; she's the author of The Out-of-Sync Child. The "course" descriptions sound great!! My little guy...

The February 2007 issue of Woman's Day had an article titled Diseases Doctors Miss (page 66). Once I saw this title, the first thing I did was flip the pages to see if Celiac Disease was listed...and it was! It was a brief but decent blurb that included someone's story, common symptoms, Dx, treatment a link to celiac.org and the 800-number for the Celiac...

My son has eaten Wendy's fries quite a few times without any issues...watch, I probably jinxed myself! If you call, ask to speak to a manager and be *very* specific about what you mean by a dedicated frier. I have to say that the Wendy's by me has been incredibly helpful and mindful of the need for gluten-free. When I order my son's plain burger...

I just spoke to organic's and the meat manager. The manager confirmed that their spiral ham is infact gluten-free.

What a cutie!! I know the diaper rash all too well!! My little guy had a blistering, bleeding diaper rash for nearly two years; it was awful. I felt so badly for him. Anyway, the *only* thing that helped it to heal was an ointment called Triple Paste. If you do a search here on the forum, you should come up with a link. I posted all of it's info in...

Ah! I just *love* homemade chicken soup with or without a cold! I have it in the freezer all of the time. It's easy, cheap and yummy....you've gotta like that! I've never heard of the hot lemonade thing though. Is it as simple as warming up homemade lemonade?

FYI...Just spoke to someone on the Novartis help-line and Triaminic Cough and Runny Nose is gluten free. Happy Cold and Flu Season to you and yours!

*Hormel Turkey Pepperoni *Sorrento Moons and Stars cheese *Ener-g pretzels *Tostios ("circle chips") with toppings like melted cheddar. salsa and guacamole *Terra brand Exotic Vegetable Chips (my kids love these) *Sweet and Sour Turkey Meatballs (made with gluten-free breadcrumbs...sauce is equal parts of Heinz Chili Sauce and Welch's Grape Jelly...

"Traditional" testing for toddlers is very often inaccurate. My son's labs were negative, and we also chose not to put him through the biopsy. We weren't willing to put him under anesthesia if we could simply remove gluten from his diet to see if if helped him. He was 3 at the time and is now 3 1/2. His growth was always above average BUT he was always...

OMG, yes!! I love the Johnny Mathis Christmas collections. That is my favorite JM christmas tune! I have several of them...this, of course, is the brunt of jokes from my friends!

I was on a low-dose of Effexor-XR. I did not have a difficult time with the withdrawl process...my doctor had me do it very slowly. However, I have heard nightmares of people coming off of Effexor. My bestfriend had been on Zoloft for quite sometime and recently stopped taking it without any issues. I agree with Richard; a lot of these medications depend...
