]]> Comment on shopping tips for a corn allergy by guinever http://homeschoolingwithguinever.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/shopping-tips-for-a-corn-allergy/#comment-8032 guinever Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:07:13 +0000 http://homeschoolingwithguinever.wordpress.com/?p=944#comment-8032 Heidi, I'm sorry that you're feeling bad. I hope you get your intestinal issues solved and can figure out a diet that works for you. I know that reading food and drug labels is time consuming and tedious work. Check your claritin-D label and call the company about it containing corn. The claritin products I was referring to are children's ready tabs and the liquid. Although the adult pills that you swallow have fillers, the Claritin-D *might* be corn free. I didn't check on that. Heidi, I’m sorry that you’re feeling bad.

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:34:58 +0000 http://homeschoolingwithguinever.wordpress.com/?p=944#comment-8031 I found out recently that I have severe intolerances to CORN, EGGS, GLUTEN, and PORK. I also have mild intolerances to rice, soy, and dairy. It has turned my life upside down. I discovered this after suffering for 6 months with daily stomach cramps, nausea after eating everything, fatigue, and bouts with diarrhea or constipation. I was diagnosed with IBS by the doctor but felt it was something more so I sent my blood to a lab that tests for intolerances. I felt certain it was something I was eating that was making me sick. I had cut gluten out on my own to experiment but still had the issues. come to find out that CORN is my biggest problem. I still get very depressed trying to find things I can eat. It has been 10 weeks since I have adjusted my eating. Can't say I've been totally corn free because I didn't know all the names for corn until recently. Just had a really bad time w/ my seasonal allergies and took Claritin-D. Well, my intestinal issues have returned. Just saw on your site that that contains corn. I am sooooo thankful for sites like this!!! It also helps to know that I am not the only one going through this. I found out recently that I have severe intolerances to CORN, EGGS, GLUTEN, and PORK.

]]> Comment on first appointment with the rheumatologist by Carrie Wallis http://homeschoolingwithguinever.wordpress.com/2009/11/14/first-appointment-with-the-rheumatologist/#comment-8030 Carrie Wallis Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:38:04 +0000 http://homeschoolingwithguinever.wordpress.com/?p=992#comment-8030 Guinever, So sorry to hear this has been going on with little Jackson. I will add him to our prayer list at home. For what it's worth, Dr. Ben was one of our primary doctors while Meredith was in the PICU at UK. He made the call to give her the high dose steriods and the medications that probably helped save her life (even though he had the diagnosis wrong, he treated it correctly -- the hand of God!). If you think about it, please tell him that Meredith is almost her normal self again. And we will covenent with you to pray for another miraculous healing for Jackson! --Carrie Guinever,

]]> Comment on can I feed six on $100 a week? by allison h http://homeschoolingwithguinever.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/can-i-feed-six-on-100-a-week/#comment-8025 allison h Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:57:26 +0000 http://homeschoolingwithguinever.wordpress.com/?p=941#comment-8025 Guinever, GREAT IDEA!!! Having a stocked pantry helps as it gives you the freedom to stock up on the staples when items are on sale. The menus look good. And since it is about to be cold for a few months, soups are filling and can be made in bulk and frozen. (of course making them with J's allergies in mind.) Thanks for the reminder that we can feed our families on less $$. :) Guinever,

]]> Comment on plain homemade yogurt by Sandi from Australia http://homeschoolingwithguinever.wordpress.com/2007/11/10/plain-homemade-yogurt/#comment-8021 Sandi from Australia Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:40:41 +0000 http://homeschoolingwithguinever.wordpress.com/2007/11/10/plain-homemade-yogurt/#comment-8021 Thank you so much for the tip of leaving off the crockpot lid. My pot maintains a litre of water at 125 degrees F on the low setting, which seems to set the yogurt well and I don't need to watch it. With the lid on, it zooms up to 150 and kills the bacteria unless I keep switching it off and on. Now i can 'set and forget'!! Thank you so much for the tip of leaving off the crockpot lid.
