All it did was keep the rejection at a low burn. Then a few years ago I discovered I was a celiac. Within weeks of going gluten free my corneal rejection had cleared up. Now each time I eat guten by accident, I develop iritis and rejection. Now I am dealing with the osteonecrosis that I developed as a direct result of the steroids. Most of my current health problems could have been avoided if I had been diagnosed as a celiac decades ago when I first started presenting at doctors with typical symptoms of the disease.Shezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165727341717139605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369726295282299526.post-71525307753044871042008-03-10T11:39:00.000-04:002008-03-10T11:39:00.000-04:00Wow Shez I am so amazed at the difference dietary ...Wow Shez I am so amazed at the difference dietary changes have made in your life! If I am ever afflicted with something so awful, I will definitely try dietary changes before drugs. Your story is very inspirational, and I am so glad this has worked for you and you are feeling better!<BR/><BR/>Anne (formerly of Chesapeake VA)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15713989452385605179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369726295282299526.post-40797825907301391282008-03-08T18:30:00.000-05:002008-03-08T18:30:00.000-05:00Anita, I think you misunderstand me.

I was commenting on how some docs are quick to say that because no proof of a link has yet to be found, that it is proof that there is no link. I watched a child a child go from being neurotypical to being autistic after a vaccination. I watched the fever that took 2 weeks to get under control, i saw how he withdrew from the world. I've also seen how he has recovered using food and supplements. I'm sure that the catch all diagnosis of Autism is in reality a collection of various issues caused by different things.<BR/><BR/>the real point I was trying to make in my post was how docs are missing a big piece of the puzzle by being so dismissive of foods.Shezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165727341717139605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369726295282299526.post-91735504802427880272008-03-08T17:54:00.000-05:002008-03-08T17:54:00.000-05:00I have to disagree on this, to some extent.

However, the specific topic of vaccines and autism is one that is very touchy for me, in my line of work, and what I HAVE witnessed personally. I've been in this field for almost 15 years, and I truly cannot believe that vaccines can be solely to blame for the large increase in diagnoses of autism that we have seen in recent years. No, we can't say that vaccines DON'T cause autism, but I do not believe that there is enough proof to say that immunizing children causes it. Plus, the risks of not immunizing kids are much worse, in my opinion. There are a lot more kids who DO get immunized and DON'T get autism than there are those who do. I have seen a much higher ratio of children with autism who have one or more parent in a scientific or engineering field than those who have or have not received vaccines. Perhaps there's something to that? Let's spend some time researching other avenues before including or excluding any one theory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
