I recently learned from Indonesian moms on another list and Dave

Humphries that autism is skyrocketing in Indonesia, too, with

estimates of 1 in 100 to 1 in 150. Some of them believe the sudden

rise corresponds to the date an immunization schedule was mandated.

Also, I used to think my kid was the only one with a rice reaction,

but according to some CD websites, it's a problem for many people

with CD, at least initially until their diets are gluten-free and the

gut heals. And on this list and gfcfrecipes, I'm seeing a number of

posts about kids with rice reactions.
