Stomach aches are not in your head. They are definitely in your stomach!

My doctor sent me to a shrink who pronounced me to be sound as a dollar and very

sensible and reminded me that doctors don't study nutrition very much.

Medicines seem to have so many side effects. Just watch the TV commercials. My

doctor has not been as much help for celiac as Elaine.

But I respect that in a time of crisis I know I should and will turn to a

mainstream medicine man or woman. And I know there are many dedicated doctors

trying to help our autism kids. Given that, I'd still have more confidence in

those who recognize Elaine's work with SCD.

No, but they did it for my son!! " He's just a boy. It's testosterone.

It's grief: He needs anti-depressants and grief counseling. He's in

control of you (i.e., bad parenting) . . . " And the best: When we started

DAN treatments, the pediatrician told us we were being guinea pigs!!!!!!!!

Oink!! (OK, I know guinea pigs don't oink . . . )

on the patient, menopause, anxiety, just being a " woman " . Anyone else had

this expierence?

Do I ever understand the dilemma about being told you are " high-

strung " ! I almost died of Crohn's before the doctors found it. I

was told I just was stressed out and was put on anti-depressants for

a while. That just made things worse! Everything from IBS, a cyst

on ovary, appendicitis, psychosis. What people don't understand is,

the pain and chronic illness affects your mind, NOT vice versa!!! Of

course, continual stress and trauma do play a role, I believe, but

overall, it is the illness in the gut causing all the other problems.

Better a " guinea pig " than a " lab rat " stuffed full of antipsychotic

drugs from a psychiatrist....LOL.
