I noticed this question is already here on the board. If you post a

question and/or reply during a Yahoo busy period, or when the server

is overloaded or experiencing difficulties etc, it can take as long as

90 minutes or so to reach the board. This is frustrating I know,

because you don't know if your message made it here or not. But most

of the time it will show up at some point, just depends on how long

the server is requiring to process all the messages it is receiving.

And then sometimes stuff just gets sent somewhere into the cyber

graveyard.

Because you are a busy mother and have more than one child and many

different things to do every day.

Perhaps you can buy gfcf pretzels for the future? Or give all your

kids potato chips.

This sounds like a possible gluten/celiac reaction. Has your son been

tested for celiac?

Why did he need melatonin if he was already asleep?

I have my pharmacist compound dye-free motrin for my son. It works

better than tylenol, and I cannot give anything off the store shelf

because my son does not tolerate the dyes and flavors. If I run out

of that, I crush a motrin tablet into a small cup of water, and my son

will drink that. You can check on the gfcfdiet site to see which

store medications are gfcf.

You can also consider giving Peptizyde at the time of any known

infraction, altho I have heard that Pepcid works for this also.
