In the effort to find some foods that my toddler will eat, we asked his doctor about Carnation Instant Breakfast... we did not ask him if it was gluten-free, just if it would be somthing work looking into, and he called Nestle himself and talked with them and got us this info! Talk about going the extra mile for your pateints! We did not expect him do to dall this, but he did. :)

Can I just say when I saw the post, the jingle from the 80's stuck in my head... (I think it was the 80s...) "Carnation Instant Breakfast-------You're gonna love it in an instant." That's my contribution to this thread :lol:

Can't say I remember that one, Jen. :D But I still hear the Ovaltine commercials and they bug me. My husband loves Ovaltine, but I can't say I'm sad that we can't have it.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
