Dear Annie: Recently, I let my ex-husband's mother, "Gladys," watch my daughter for the weekend. She hasn't been allowed to do this for quite some time due to problems we had with her and her other grandchildren.

While here, Gladys grilled my daughter with questions about me, my current husband and other family members. She has a history of backstabbing me. She is very sneaky. While in my home, she and her oldest son hacked into my e-mail account, read all of my mail and changed my password. Luckily, I had my laptop with me and was able to catch it before they did too much damage.

Gladys got into my account by calling my mother and innocently asking for her maiden name, which was the "question" my account asked to help me remember my password. Please let your readers know not to use something so simple to discover. I feel I can never trust Gladys again. Is there some law I can mention to scare her so she won't do this again? ¿ Maine

Dear Maine: Discovering your password and opening your e-mail is the equivalent of eavesdropping on your phone calls. It's not nice, but no one is going to arrest her. If Gladys had done real damage taken money from your bank account, for example, then she would be breaking the law. First, change your password and make the "clue" more cryptic, so only you will understand it. In fact, you should update your password frequently. Then tell Gladys that she is no longer allowed in your home when you are not present. Period. That bridge is burned.

Dear Annie: My mother-in-law read the column from "Michigan Grandmother," whose granddaughter was diagnosed with fructose intolerance. When our daughter was 3 months old, she had some constipation, and the pediatrician recommended corn syrup be added to her formula to stimulate her system. The corn syrup threw her into liver and kidney failure. The wonderful doctors at the Cleveland Clinic discovered she had Hereditary Fructose Intolerance and saved her life.

There is a lot of cooking involved with this type of diet, but it can easily be managed.

That grandmother can find a wealth of information regarding recipes, eating out, etc., at www.hfiinfo.proboards42.com. As with any information, you should always check with your own doctor before following any dietary advice.

My daughter is now 3 and doing great. She's a beautiful, smart ball of fire. ¿ K.G.

Dear K.G.: Thanks so much for the useful information. Our readers were eager to help "Michigan Grandma" and offered a plethora of websites. Read on:

From Iowa: I was diagnosed with Dietary Fructose Intolerance in 2005 and had to learn a new way of eating, but it freed me from being almost house-bound with intestinal problems. There are two types: "Dietary" and "Hereditary" Fructose Intolerance, the latter causing many more problems. The University of Iowa Medical Center (where I was diagnosed) has good information at: www.tiny.cc/fructose. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) has a publication online entitled "Sugar Content in Selected Foods," which is available through the search box at www.fnic.nal.usda.gov.

Wisconsin: We have a daughter who is allergic to eggs, and the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (foodallergy.org) has been very helpful. It's $30 for a one-year membership and well worth it.

Boston: I found my local natural food stores or boutique markets to be incredibly helpful (the staff is familiar with different dietary needs), and foods marked "natural" at regular grocery stores often do not contain added fructose or sucrose.

Illinois: The best website I've found is kidswithfoodallergies.org. The support forums there are filled with information on recipes, negotiating with insurance companies, picking a great doctor, explaining diet restrictions to family members, schools, day care centers and so on. It has been a lifeline for my family.
