Does anyone know of a company that makes corn based lasagne noodles?My son doesn’t tolerate rice products so we use corn pasta. I wouldlove to be able to make him lasagne, but haven’t been able to find acorn based lasagne noodle.

Hi there- I was curious…i was at a local GFCF support group meetinglast night (about 12 moms) and not one used a calcium sup. We use thepowder from kirkmans and one mom said that their DAN doc said not touse that..I can understand that some kids might have too much calciumin system but it seems odd that none use it. What about you guys?Who uses a calcium sup and if so which one- or why not XYZ? Feel freeto e-mail privately.

My husband and I are thinking of having another child and since we havehad two children with special needs (Down Syndrome, ASD)I would like tolower my homocysteine levels prior to conception. Jill James studysuggests taking daily 800 mcg folic acid, 500mg-1gram TMG, and 1 mg ofmethyl b-12. My question is that if I decide to do the methyl b-12 inthe form of a shot, how much should I take in ml? I really don’t wantto have to do more than one shot per week because I hate shots. Rightnow I am taking a lozenge of methyl-b12 but I question it’seffectiveness.

Anyone’s child have a potato intolerance. My daughter was completelyaddicted to them once we started the diet. I realized she hadn’teaten anything that way since we took away wheat (she could eat awhole bag of goldfish if we let her!) She had been off them for 3days and her rash started to clear up and she was eating baout aquarter of what she was eating. I decided to check and make sure thatit was potatoes that affected her soI gave her some fries tonight.She was like a wild animal. Giggling and laughing all over theplace. She was totally oblivious to us calling her-Suddenly, shecrashed. She laid on the floor and started to fall asleep! IS thiscommon? I realize we have to give up potatoes, but can it reallyaffect her that much…This diet is already so hard and she refusesall corn and rice things unless I mask them in tomato sauce.Another quick enzyme question…I gave her acidophilus yesterdaymorning and she drooled really bad all day. I saw some white flakesin her drool and she was real irritable. Could this be a sideeffect?What can you feed them if they can’t have potatoes?

We are wanting to collect our sons stool samples correctlyfor the CDSA/P and the urine for the OAT test as well! He is notpotty trained and we have been off our vitamens and mineralssupplements for the 3 days that the test says to be. My question isthis….with him not being potty trained and he has had a BM today inhis pullup am I able to use the stool in the pullup. The instructionssays not to get the urine or toilet water in the collection. Hasanyone else had this problem? If so, any suggestions?

Also anyone know of a calcium supplement that is easy to hide in food, he cantaste anything. We have tried them all. Free of corn soy gluten casein, or scdacceptable.

I have a few questions about that.Do you give this to ward off viruses or to help fight the possibleeffects of the MMR vaccine some of us unwittingly allowed the medicalproffession to poison our children with?(Sorry soapbox)What dosage ofliquid drops mwould you use on a 30 pond child? I also wanted to knowif any one has any info on sensory issues, maybe books that would helpme figure some things out. All of a sudden it seems that my son isbecoming very sensitive even to his favorite cartoons, hands over earsfor music.

My 3yr old DD has been on the gfcf diet for about 5-6 days. I noticedthat her feces are very dark and extremely smelly. Is this normal?

Also, can too much rice be constipating? My DD has not been going asregularly as she used to.

Does anyone else here use homeopathy? I have been using it with Sam forquite awhile before we figured out he was Autistic. My ND told me that it hasbeen used recently with alot of success for ASD. I should be getting moreinfo. on this so if anyone is interested, let me know.
