His responses are usually(if you say no). -Well you should get on. -Here, call my brother, he runs a shop by the river. -I have a spare one in the drawer over here, you can have it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79394347 goddamn why do you women paranoia over kids so much. wellness,motherfucker eats shits breaths,its well.keep kids completely away from doctors! she has nonverbal autism, she has to the doctor. I'm not paranoid about my kid and this was the only time she was even at the pediatrician this year because she's super healthy, eats very well and if she does get a cold I treat her at home unless she's very sick and it's clear she would need antibiotics. |

ESPECIALLY all breads and wheat containing "malted barley". also it's best to avoid eating too much meat. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79387251 thank you very much!! She doesn't eat a lot of meat but she loves pretzels and bagels. I will research all this and make some adjustments to her diet.  |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77466799  United Kingdom09/18/2020 10:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had to take my 9 year old to the doctor today for a well visit. The nurse led us to our exam room, took her vitals, and asked me a few questions as per usual. Quoting: Nevermind32 But today, one of the questions that the nurse asked me was if we have any guns in our home. They have never asked me that before. I have 3 children who all go to this doctor and not once did they ever ask me if we had a gun. Of course I told her no, even though everything we have is legal with proper paperwork and safely stored. It's none of their business if I own a a gun! Plus rule #1 of prep/survival is to keep your shit a secret! I have a right to be able to protect my children and as a single mother (i live with my 65 year old parents and my kids) owning a gun is necessary. No one is going to make me feel bad for having the ability to defend my family. I just thought it was very odd. Why the hell would they ask me that? What do they do with that information? What does it have to do with my daughter's health? I just wanted to share because I think you guys would find it odd too and maybe we can discuss it. You should have said, I'll tell you the answer to that when you tell me how many times a week do you use the Vibrator and is your Husband any good in bed? |

She doesn't eat a lot of meat but she loves pretzels and bagels. I will research all this and make some adjustments to her diet. finding bread or other processed foods made without malted barley is almost impossible. whole wheat flour is the most widely available alternative, but you have to bake it yourself. I'm lucky that my wife has time to bake for us sometimes. her father goes semi-nonverbal if he gets too much glutamate. when she keeps him away from it, he is worlds better... a different man entirely. |

Where can i buy whole wheat flour? I'll be able to bake for her, I want to try it out for a week or 2 and see if she improves. |

Although I am very pro- 2nd amendment, there have been too many kids accidentally killed by firearms in the house. That’s all. Stop reading more into it and save your indignation when real threats emerge. Your pediatrician is just going his or her job. Bebe |
