is the thin blue stuff that she talks about but I have found that it has
alcohol in it and it burned when I put it on.

<< Dear Lorraine:
Wow. You inspire me as a Mom of 9 kids!!! I'm am pregnant with my 5th
and feel that this is gonna be the last one -- my energy is fading.....
So far, I am the only Celiac in the house.. I do have serious questions
about my oldest but the blood screen came up negative for my three oldest
( doc didn't test 2 yr old)... I am getting off the subject here in a
big hurry..
You asked about the yeast and nursing problem...... I did have some
problems while nursing my third child... I am not sure if it was yeast or
not - the doctor said it was Oral Thrush..... it was a bear to get rid of
for him and for me..... The stuff we were supposed to use didn't really
get rid of it... We finally got some "ginsen blue" . That is a rather
phonetic spelling.. It was this thin blueish-purple solution that I
painted on the inside of the babies mouth.... took care of it within a
week........ I found it at the pharmacy (over the counter) Apparently
it's something that folks used for year and years on cuts and scrapes and
just about anything....... A few places still carry it, but as the newer
medicines have been developed, some of the old tried and true fad away.
By the way, if most of your children are celiacs (and you too) I wonder
if your husband is a celiac as well. That is an awfully strong link in
your family...... But, nice that everyone has company and surely makes
the cooking much simpler with everyone eating the same thing..
If you get a minute, I'd love to hear just a short description of how
celiac symptoms vary from each one in your family.... it'd really help me
keep my eyes open for symptoms in my own family....... My grandfather,
father, and aunt also have celiac and I'm sure that at least one of my
kids will show up with it.... if I don't miss the sublte symptoms.
