  1. Can you start teaching her with play? "Auntie Jenn can't touch bread. Let's wash out hands after we eat so we wash away the bread." "Did you eat some bread? Let's think what you touched and we'll pretend we have to remove a spell from it by washing it off." That sort of thing. Make it a game for her to keep you well.
  2. Thanks for posting those. The Fasono papers talk about Zonulin, but I didn't see which reference talked about the link between intestinal permeability and diabetes. Could you point that one out to me? (the first link didn't open for me at all)
  3. The relevance of K can be modified by the addition of OH, usually in the form of vodka. The direction of modification (positive or negative) depends on which side of the equation you add the OH to, yours or theirs.
  4. I spent the night dreaming about conditional probabilities and kinship coefficients. D'ya suppose there's any way I can get credit for this for my class?
  5. Can you provide sources for these statements?
  6. Bad reaction: He takes you to Tahiti. Medium reaction: He takes you to Hawaii. Small reaction: He takes you to Disneyland. Unclear reactions: He pays for your shopping day with the girls.
  7. The best way to find food intolerances is to do an elimination diet. Blood tests might give you an idea, but the way your body reacts is the best indicator.
  8. I have no problem with wine or distilled alcohols. I drink single malt scotch, so no chance of contamination through a cheap blend, and all the wines I've tried have been fine (barring that over-indulgence thing). If you, personally, react to something, then by all means remove it from your diet, but don't assume that everyone has the same response.
  9. Bo, the magnificent, is standing guard at the top of the steps. Having overcome his fear of the choickens, he's willing to risk life and limb....well...he;s willing to sit at a distance..... to prtect the family providers.
  10. You don't think he would go racing off into the greenspace behind my house looking for adventure? I've had like four glasses of wine and it's getting very difficult to keep correcting my typing. I need those chickens to get into their coop so I can go to bed. Guess I'll have another glass while I'm waiting...
  11. Coyote, eagle, raccoon and roaming dogs. I've been letting them out in the evening when I'm home and I pay pretty close attention to where they are. I've gone out a couple times and found a raccoon snacking on the chicken treats, but leaving the chickens alone. It's not the best situation, but they really like to have a couple hours of free time to destroy...
  12. They are kind of amusing. I have to keep the door closed or they'll come in the house. And they've dug holes in my neighbours flower bed to snuggle in to, but she's gone so I'm sure it's ok. :ph34r: They come running when they see me, which is kind of cute, and very handy for collecting them out of the neighbour's flower bed....
  13. I agree with GFM. This is sounding more like an allergic response - not something to fool around with.
  14. It can define you, or not, as you choose. There is nothing wrong with either decision. Are you a vegetarian? Or do you eat vegetarian? Are you a baker? Or do you bake for a living? Are you a mom? Or do you have kids? I think it's a subtle statement on how you feel something affects who you are. I am a scientist. It is integral to everything...
  15. aawww. Every year the UW puts up a duck dock on the fountain so the baby ducks can get in and out easily. I've given the happy little chickies an apple to chase around the deck. Gives them something to do, other than paw through my flower pots in hopes of finding something tasty.
  16. :wub: Somebody layed an egg on my deck! :) I'm guessing it wasn't one of the cats.....
  17. send us pics of your arms after you've tried to strap toast to a cat.....
  18. yep. Gotta take it out, then put it back.
  19. Ninja would have been cool. Maybe you can get him to change his mind.
  20. Neither buckwheat nor quinoa are grains, and the storage protein for corn is very different from the storage protein for wheat, barley, and rye.
  21. Cod marinated in white wine, lemon juice, and garlic, grilled potatoes, salad.
  22. Maybe you are making them feel bad about the dullness of their own lives and it's easier to dismiss you than it is to start living....
  23. If you have diarrhea as a symptom you could be losing electrolytes such as potassium.
  24. You sound like the best mom ever! If you feel they've run all the tests they can possibly run, then you have nothing to lose by controlling his diet and seeing if what he eats is making him ill. Do the gluten-free, dairy-free thing and see if it helps.
