Beegirl, love the quote....I landed in quicksand many times ...almost up to my chin, but it seemed like the more I struggled and kicked, the deeper I sunk...better to just relax and enjoy the sensation until a branch is extended from seemingly nowhere, n'est pas??

...stoic and beegirl....is picture framing 'code' for stock trading...???LOL

Ever wonder why the enteric nervous system is sometimes called "The Second Brain"?

This doesn't surprise me at all!

Try reading Gut_And_Psychology_Syndrome by Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride. Many psychological conditions from autism to schizophrenia can be cured by healing the gut. Compromised flora in the gut cause many problems that seem unrelated to digestion.

One of the things I loved most about her book was that the cure isn't some lifelong drug dependency, or some mystical incomprehensible healing... it's a simple six month diet with a little supplementation! Heal the gut and the psychological symptoms disappear.

My family will be starting her diet soon. We have four children, three of whom have problems with wheat. I would not be a bit surprised if the wheat 'allergy' disappears after fixing the gut flora problem as well as helping some behavior problems we've noticed that seem to be brought on by diet.
