I have a provisional diagnosis of celiac disease, but have been symptom free – except for some absorption issues. So now I have to live gluten-free. But I’m the mom, chief clerk and bottle washer. How careful do I have to be when I make regular food for my family? Can I still bake their light, fluffy and tender birthday cakes using cake flour? Sandwiches on regular bread for them? Since I don’t have symptoms, isn’t it going to be impossible to tell how much is too much?

My 16 year old friend is struggling with bulimia/anorexia. For the past month she hasnt been eating, and if she has she throws it up. I am the only one she has told and i have finally convinced her to see a doctor. She is worried about her mom finding out though from the doctor. Because she is underage, is the doctor required to tell her mom about her disorder or is her secret safe in the doctors hands?

Also, this maybe a dumb question, but is there medicine a doctor can give her? What will a doctor do for her?

My mom has bed bugs in her room and she wants me to see if there’s any other way to kill bed bugs other than calling an exterminator. Is there another way to get rid of them?

He was really upset and everyone else started balling when they found out and my mom keeps crying over it so I am guessing it is really bad but I don’t know much about lung disease. Can anyone please help me? I want to know how long he has to live?

I’m in the process of enrolling in a medical transcriptionist course, I’ll be taking my classes online through Everett Community College, it’s a AAMT approved school. Is this a good job for a mom who wants to work from home? I’m not looking to get rich doing it, just want a real work from home job.
