Might want to get that checked out: Open Original Shared Link "The most common cause of acquired nystagmus is certain drugs or medication. Phenytoin (Dilantin) - an antiseizure medication, excessive alcohol, or any sedating medicine can impair the labyrinth's function. Other causes include: Head injury from motor vehicle accidents Inner ear disorders... -

Ugh! You children! Momma said clear liquids first and then a couple of little bites! Hope you feel better soon! -
ARCHIVED Is Yeast Gluten Free?
kareng replied to River*'s topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes. A special yeast may contain other ingredients. Also, If it is used in a finished product, it will need to say yeast ( yeast, wheat, etc). Plain old yeast is gluten free. But this highlights the need to read ingredients every time. -

I have never see a yogurt with gluten. It said it contained wheat? -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Foods Still Causing Gluten Reaction
kareng replied to FastTurtle's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If the ingredients state wheat - that is one thing. Broth isn't another word for wheat. As your link pointed out - its salt water. I try not to buy them because I do not want the added salt. -
That's horrible! You were diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2010 but no one told you the only cure is to go gluten-free until now? Sounds like malpractice to me. Anyway, read around the forum . In the coping section is a Newbie thread that could be helpful. https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Foods Still Causing Gluten Reaction
kareng replied to FastTurtle's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Where did you get the idea that " broth" contains gluten? Usually it's chicken juice, water and salt. If they add wheat, they have to list that. Your links don't say " gluten" or wheat. You can tell which have the added salt water by looking at the sodium content. Unsalted chicken has some naturally occurring sodium but it will be way less than the package... -
ARCHIVED Help! Severe "d" Don't Feel Glutened Though!

Well.. Its bedtime. Have some water and go to sleep. That will give it a 6-10 hour rest ( hopefully ). -
ARCHIVED Help! Severe "d" Don't Feel Glutened Though!
kareng replied to moosemalibu's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
before you were born, I worked at a Children's hospital. When the kids got bad D or vomiting from a virus, the best thing to do was let the intestinal tract rest. No food, no excess liquid, nothing that required a lot of digesting. Once the problem isn't happening as much, add small amounts of food. If all goes well after 4-6 hours, eat a bit more each... -
ARCHIVED Help! Severe "d" Don't Feel Glutened Though!
kareng replied to moosemalibu's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Sometimes, Its not about gluten. Sounds like you got a nice virus and it went to your gut. Sometimes, the best thing to do is only clear liquids ( Gatorade, water, flat ginger ale/ sprite, water) for 12-24 hours. Then add something bland and easy like a few bites of rice or a few bites of cooked apple or some banana. Wait.....maybe an hour or two and... -

Gluten in plain chicken? I have never seen that. What brand puts gluten in the plain uncooked chicken? What is the gluten, wheat? -
ARCHIVED Is Yeast Gluten Free?
kareng replied to River*'s topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm not sure what you are trying to say but to repeat what everyone and your article says - plain yeast is gluten-free. Brewers yeast may not be. -

ARCHIVED Burning Skin
kareng replied to canchzr's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My son has this issue. He found that soaps without sulfites help a lot. He uses Open Original Shared Link. As shampoo and soap. He gets a sulfite free toothpaste as he was getting sores in his mouth, too. -
ARCHIVED Help!
kareng replied to djsweis's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If you were gluten-free for 2 years, Celiac testing means nothing. 1 week on gluten is likely not enough to show the damage needed to show up on a biopsy. -

ARCHIVED Trader Joe's Cottage Cheese?
kareng replied to Nikki2777's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think its pretty hard to cc a dairy product. You can't really make bread in a milk/ dairy factory. Just read the ingredients. -
ARCHIVED First Post: Diagnosed Via Low Bone Density - Prognosis?
kareng replied to rukh's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Or....did you get tested? I took it to mean that you only had a bone scan and he told you to eat gluten free. But reading back....maybe you did get Celiac tests, too? If that is the case, you can't have a tiny mount of gluten if you can at all avoid it. If that means no restauraunt, then that is what you must do. -
ARCHIVED New Guy- Needs Help To Start Diet For The New Year!

This is the Frito Lay list for the US. I think it's slightly different in other countries. Open Original Shared Link Yes, People! I know none of these items are good for you! But sometimes, a Celiac needs some normal junk food! -
ARCHIVED First Post: Diagnosed Via Low Bone Density - Prognosis?
kareng replied to rukh's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
If you have Celiac disease, then even a small, tiny amount of gluten, keeps the antibodies going. The antibodies continue to attack the small intestine and effect absorption of nutrients/vitamins. For people who just stop eating gluten to see if it might help with a certain problem -I don't think it is known whether the small amounts from a bakery... -
ARCHIVED Kraft Marshmallows
kareng replied to piglips82's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Even tho this thread is over 3 years old, Kraft marshmallows are still gluten-free. Kraft has a good policy about listing items made from any gluten - not just the federally mandated wheat, but also barley ( can't imagine rye is in much but bread)
