People Who Don't Suffer From BP

Seeing a lot of newbies on this board who don't suffer from BP but still think they have a right to be here. This makes me very uncomfortable.

As long as people are properly respectful, I don't mind. And by that, I mean, it's rude to make assumptions, accusations, etc. or be TOO aggressive about questions or getting too personal towards people who are just suffering from a disease.

But, even if people aren't respectful all the time, one thing I remind myself of, is that if they are on this board because a "family member" is bipolar, or even a FRIEND, the chances are pretty high that they are bipolar as well and either unaware or in denial. Hey, don't other BPers who don't know they're BP'ers yet, deserve to be cut some slack?

The truth is that you're never sure that a person is really all that they say they are on the interwebs. We just have to go with our gut feeling and never be TOO lax about things.

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
