Are there any medical professionals out there who can tell me if it is true that bananas can be a remedy for diahrrea? I was diagnosed as having Celiac and certain foods agravate symptoms of Celiac. In my case caffeine is a culprit. It accelerates my stomach lining and bowel movements. Immodium . Lomotil and Librax all work and help. But as far as a natural remedy it seems that bananas slow down ALL of my symptoms-the only problem is that too much banana in my diet seems to have a binding effect in my stomach (Not necessarily constipation). I find bananas seem to enhance the effects of medicines i take. Anyone have any knowledge or advice on the effects of bananas and my medical condition? Thanks

In the past 3 weeks I've had 8 coldsores. I've tryed everything from l-lysine to perscription ointments and nothing seems to work. Every time I think its about to clear up then another one starts. I've had coldsores my whole life, but usually I'll get maybe 4-5 a year. Why am I getting so many all at once?

Doctor thinks I have gout. Awaiting blood tests. With medication do you still have to modify your diet? Do you still get attacks after taking meds? What has your experience been with gout?

Thanks

because, since my wife got it, I seem to have come down with a case and so have all the guys at work. I don't think this runs in my family, but my mom and dad died in a car crash before I was born.

removal of carpet is not an option and it is vaccumed twice a day, so would something like an ioniser help to prevent the allergy or is there something that can be sprayed onto the carpet or into the air to cure it

Neice (3 yo) has the repetitive version, where she repeats the same task over and over. Also, when asked to hand over one block, she'll just count the blocks.

Nephew (2 yo) has the version where he throws fits constantly and can't focus on pretty much anything at all. He also cannot speak yet, aside from "whee" and "dada".

They both live in an apartment with me, their father, and my stepfather.

How can I help them to learn the most efficiently, despite their autistic problems? How can I learn to help them work around their autism?
