The variety of comments also got me thinking that maybe reducing gluten may help (eg. someone said they give their child a salad for lunch) rather than totally having to eliminate it?
While the fan ... |

I am glad you are starting to feel more confident.
Take another deep breath.
Here goes. Do NOT let your frustration and distrust of government prevail. You are calling failure before a step ha ... |

| I think Hartzospace summarized it really well. Many have found they simply feel better eliminating either gluton, dairy, or both, and when you feel better, you have less to deal with, and are less li ... |

So, as the parent of a child with boundary difficulties, I say all firm reinforcement from others that this is not going to be allowed is helpful. Your son should not be shy in stating clearly and ... |

| My feelings, generally, are that diagnosis and labels are only as good as what they can do for you. For us, a tentative diagnosis from school has opened the door for all the services my son seems to ... |

Defend our borders, yes but why go 8,000 miles overseas to police some country that's in disarray?
I totally agree.
But when you are the big man on campus, you don't have that option.
Still, ... |
