around here for the past couple days. The neighbor kids have Snow Days so Will has had playmates and pretty much ignoring us. lol. He's at his cousins house now and later we are off to Eden Alley for more friends and a good meal. Jack is sleeping.
We are working on a low salicylate diet - eating lots of chicken and rice. I need to get to the store to stock up in this house. I purchased The Salicylate Handbook and look forward to getting it. http://www.foodcanmakeyouill.co.uk/bookshop/sali.htm
Two weeks ago WIll was complaining about a "laughing problem" that he had. We didn't understand. A week later we notice his breathing is irregular and he is having stomach spasms when he breathes about every other minute. Then it got a little worse so I made an appt. to see the Worthless Doctor. Will said he was so excited to get his laughing problem fixed. Worthless Doctor told me he was faking it. I wanted to make sure it didn't have anything to do with his heart and Worthless Doctor said no. I asked about food allergies and Worthless Doctor said allergies would show up as a rash and rarely related to breathing difficulties.
Will had been eating lots of apples and pickles. I learned cucumbers are quite high in salicylates.
So that was last... Wednesday. We went low salicylate that day. He is no longer have the stomach spasms. I need to start a food diary for him and will get that together soon. I want to do this right.

if you have time, can you discuss the salicylate issue? what foods can he eat, and why would his body be allergic to so may nutritious foods? i dontt doubt your diagnosis, dont get me wrong, i am just interested in the concept.
how does the allergy work, can he grow past it, etc?
wishing you the best,

I haven't been getting your blog updates for awhile, so I came here to check it out, and I'm glad I did. Not sure why Bloglines didn't show you were updating.
Poor Will. I'm glad his problem is fixed, though. He's lucky you're his mom. I can't believe the WD said he was faking it!!!!
We should get together. Maybe if we get a warmer day we can come and walk around your lake.
