Boobs, Sue, Kel....everyone really but especially themI've been reading a really interesting book, it's main focus is on Autism, ADHD, asthma. and allergies but he covers many other "epidemic" issues we're facing today. Rheumatoid Arthritis, diabetes, arthesclerosis, and auto-immunes. It's an interesting study of why we have so many more incidences, and a relatively simple (not always easy, but simple) approach to correcting the imbalances creating them.

Thanks Snippy, I'll look into it. Every little bit can help right? My dad was just diagnosed with Candida I told him to read the "Ultra Metabolism" it's what to eat and what to stay away from. You might enjoy that book too.
I came across this site...

I'm working up the nerve to try the glutin/cassin free and yeast reduction diet. I think those are issues for many of us in this house. It's going to be tough though!!! Gluten is everywhere. Hopefully we'll be able to reintroduce it again. Many times you can start eating sensitive foods again once your system is healthy.
I think it may be more of a yeast problem for us.
I also told my mom to try it out, she's sufferred from migraines ever since she had her hysterectomy about 20 years ago. So many drs told her that it wasn't from the hysterectomy, but they started 3 days after so she never believed them. After reading this, we see maybe it wasn't the actual loss of her ovaries, just the hit to her immune system that she's never recovered from.

I wouldn't be surprised by your moms reaction. A hysterectomy is such an invasive procedure, I'm sure it wrecks havoc on the body in many more way then one.
The diet is super challenging, but once you find a shop that specializes in gluten free, it will be so much easier.
I crave carbs all the time, so starting tomorrow I am going to try to cabash most of the bad carbs :( I know I'll feel better, I always do. It's just so much easier eating like poop!!

I tried the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) for a few months. It really didn't provide me much relief but it has helped countless people around the world. You should read about it, it is no sugars (except natural like fruit or monosaccarides), no grain, no lactose, no processed foods, no starch, no carbs. Once you rid your home of these types of foods, it is pretty easy to follow. The main principle of the diet is that an overgrowth of bad bacteria in the gut causes all different types of illnesses.

Definitely something worth checking out with thousands of successful followers. It helped me learn that I am intolerant of corn.

Thanks Sexy. The book gives several different diets that work for different people. But he recommends starting with the Glutin/Cassien free because it affects far more people than any of the others. If that doesn't work then he recommends moving on to the others. He also says to have a blood reactive test to determine if there are other food intolerances, but I don't think we'll go that far yet.

My SIL can't eat gluten. I've actually been surprised by the amount of gluten free alternatives out there (especially at stores like Whole Foods). We even stumbled on a gluten-free bakery in Maine!
I'm not sure I'm ready to get rid of everything with gluten but I think I'll start picking up the alternatives where they're available.

That's what I've been doing. I've found gluten free cereals and the boys like them! I tried Silk but they all revolted. And I've switched to Ezekiel bread. It's dense, but yummy, lower Glycimic index and it's convenient because it comes frozen!
And I've been watching them closely, I do see a change in their temper when we eat something high gluten!
