ARTICLES, REPORTS AND RECIPES


Children

• Bullying
  Bullying is thought to affect around 20% of school-age children - and those who are ‘different’ (because they have a food allergy or are on the autistic spectrum) are most likely to be the victims. Below are some suggestions from a recent FAAN News plus a review of an excellent book by Nick Dubin on Aspergers and bullying.
  
  Gluten/wheat

• 'I can't eat wheat. How can I replace the nutrition it provides?'
  Margaret Moss looks at what you may be missing on a wheat-free diet - and how you can replace it.
  
  
  Natural Medicine
• Alternative Antibiotics
  There are times when pharmaceutical antibiotics are a necessity and can save lives, but for those with a drug sensitivity, an intolerance to any of the many excipients used in drug manufacture or any problems with compromised gut flora, they can create far more problems than they solve. John Scott looks at some alternatives.
  
  Food Intolerance
  
  
• Allergic to the smell of food?
  As a dairy intolerant who also reacts to garlic, Sinnet Morch had a hard time finding anything to eat when she was hospitalised after a recent stroke. However her problems with garlic have their root in her lifelong intolerance to strong food smells.
