Thank you for the suggestion =). I think I know what my food intolerances are.

It would take a book to tell my whole story, but this isn't the right forum for

it. At one point, for a whole year, all I could eat was fish, rice, sunflower

seeds, some fruits and some vegetables. Nothing else. I slowly added foods

back over the course of a few years to where I could eat " everything " except

gluten, dairy, soy and eggs. I've been able to eat eggs for the past couple of

years now with no problems. No yogurt, because I can only do small amounts of

sheep or goat cheese.

My health has gone from horrible (arthritis so bad we were pricing electric

carts plus other issues) to fantastic - I teach PE and coach HS girls'

basketball and play along with them. I spent the last 13 years making sure that

I've taken care of myself so I would never be that sick again. Now, I want to

make sure that my son doesn't get that sick. He appears to have inherited my

tendency toward autoimmune problems. (To top it off, he's a redhead, and I've

been told that they have more digestive issues than other hair colors.)

I'll try to be patient and get through this - it's already better today. Go

figure - as soon as I ask about it it starts to disappear.

Thanks!
