ARCHIVED Question About Ttg Iga
kareng replied to birdie22's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My best guess is - Its either a normal occurrence in humans or an inherent issue with the test. That is why they have a range for normal. For some reason, tests in healthy people may have a small amount of what is being tested for. Or, the test has an issue that this normal range fixes. -

ARCHIVED Adult Diagnosis: How Long Til You're More Or Less Used To This?
kareng replied to mmoncrief's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I found it got easier as I went along. Read all the ingredients when you buy a food for your home. Then, when you are home, you know everything is safe and you don't have to have that stress. If you live with a gluten eater, then the obvious things like bread or cereal will not be gluten-free but make sure everything else is. For example - always buy... -
ARCHIVED Apparently You Guys Were Right, It's All In My Head!
kareng replied to Renegade's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This is not scientific evidence - this is just a person's blog. Open Original Shared Link What’s with all the talk about certain types of food causing “cross-reactivity?” There is not yet reliable data about cross-reactivity. As for the alleged possibility that many gluten-free foods or drinks (such as coffee, milk, orange juice, etc.) would trigg... -

My Son Is Having Gluten & Lactose Intolerance
kareng commented on anshika-0204's blog entry in anshika_0204's Blog
You will get more answers if you posted this in the forum. Maybe the parents section or post diagnosis section? This section is for blogs which usually don't get a lot of responses. -
This thread is 3 years old. We have some very recent discussions of DH. You might get someone answering back on one of those?

ARCHIVED Flintstone Vitamins
kareng replied to Liddle4's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I answered this on the other old thread you posted on. The website says they will list gluten. The ingredients on the gummies clearly list wheat. All the other I of on this thread is 4 years old and ingredients change in that time period -
ARCHIVED Are Flintstone Sour Gummie Vitamins Gluten-free?
kareng replied to Ashley's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This is from the website today. Looks like they label wheat clearly and, if they don't list wheat, are likely gluten-free. This looks like a typical CYA statement as they don't test for gluten. Looks like the gummies say they contain wheat. Open Original Shared Link "All of the Flintstones Products that contain wheat or wheat derived ingredients... -

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Ground Turkey Without Natural Flavoring?
kareng replied to seraphim's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Grill those Jennie O people! :0. Seriously, post what they say. I would be curious. I have heard they sometimes add raw turkey juice or chicken for chicken. I don't quite understand where this " juice" comes from. Maybe when they grind it the juice comes out and they mix it back in? -
ARCHIVED Newly Dx - Reading And Learning A Lot
kareng replied to moosemalibu's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If you want to have a positive endoscopy, you should keep eating gluten. As you start healing, you will start absorbing more and more of your food. If you feel good exercising, continue to exercise. Cut back a little if you think that might help. -
ARCHIVED Needing Some Encouragement...anxiety Kicking In
kareng replied to mommyof4's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If its anxiety about the job and your new schedule....it will work itself out in a few days, right? You might try some relaxation techniques or yoga or a brisk walk. Pregnant? Try to sneak a little food in. Maybe broth or Popsicles. 2 bites of chicken and then go do something else. Then a couple of bites of rice. walk away. Sometimes being hungry... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Ground Turkey Without Natural Flavoring?
kareng replied to seraphim's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Have you tried to contact Jennie o and see what the natural flavoring is? The butcher at my store said that the whole turkeys they have ( not Jennie O but it may be true for them, too). Are injected with water and salt. It's hard to find any without that extra salt which was my issue with them. I know some on here grow their own chicken and turkeys. ... -

ARCHIVED Beans, Cucumber, Turnips And Cabbage
kareng replied to Amwilkes's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Well...I went to the Princeton Word net and tried to get gluten free and gluten. It only gives a correct definition for the word gluten ( but not as it applies to a Celiac diet) and no gluten-free diet definition. It may have been fixed since 2006 or even be misquoted. Still more reason to get info from reliable sources. -

ARCHIVED What Do U Guys Think?
kareng replied to Herreralovv's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
There is no scientific evidence for cross reactive foods in Celiac Disease. It is possible you get similar symptoms. That doesn't mean it is causing your body to produce antibodies. Your link is just some guy who thinks he knows a lot about Celiac. Not sure he has any real scientific basis. Food poisoning, lactose intolerance and stomach virus have... -
ARCHIVED Beans, Cucumber, Turnips And Cabbage
kareng replied to Amwilkes's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The original question was from 3 years ago and was answered. The internet has lots of great info, but I have found no reliable medical or scientific sites that make these claims. There are sites and blogs and other nonsense on the internet that will tell you how to grow bigger boobs, loose 30 pounds in 3 days, and other stuff. We like to deal in facts... -

Open Original Shared Link "A well-balanced diet A gluten-free diet means avoiding all foods that contain wheat (including spelt, triticale, and kamut), rye, and barley, and their derivatives.

kareng replied to Amwilkes's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We have a rule on this forum, if you are going to tell us some info that isn't widely known, you need to provide some reliable sources to prove it. I have never seen any reliable source saying that beans, cabbage, turnips and cucumbers have gluten. Gluten is a protein found in grain which is the seed of a grass type plant. None of these other foods... -

ARCHIVED Neurologist Vs Gastroenterologist
kareng replied to ms-issippi's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
The section is indeed ":Related Disorders" but she was not talking about diabetes, which can be a related disorder to Celiac. You weren't relating the diabetes to her issues, so it just looked like you were saying people with Celiac can't have sugar with an implication that sugar isn't gluten-free. By all means, explain the neurological symptoms of diabetes...- 23 replies

Are the blood tests they just took positive for Celiac antibodies? That would show you are getting enough gluten to give you a reaction.- 5 replies

They are gluten free. Diabetes is a separate issue. I don't think this poster was asking about diabetes. No need to confuse her more than she already is. Her doctors are doing a good job of it.- 23 replies
