Anything that says gluten free. I'm fond of rice chex myself, but I'm not sure if it's officially gluten free. Rolled oats, cheerios, etc are good, but some people with celiac disease avoid oats because there tends to be cross-contamination.

Importance of primary health care?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but there are three types of health promotion: Primary deals with keeping people from getting disease or injury such as offering free condoms or increasing traffic control near schools. Other examples are offering education on good nutrition and keeping water sources clean. Here we assume no one has the problem and we aim to keep it that way. Secondary health promotion refers to trying to keep the diseased population from spreading. AIDs or diabetic testing to know who has the disease is a good example. Here we assume some people have the problem and we want to find out who so we can try to control it. Tertiary health occurs in helping a person who has a disease or injury to minimize the problems for the individual and to teach them ways to protect others if necessary. Here we know who has the disease and we try to help the patient deal with it.

What should you do if your 8 months old baby fell down and his head bumps to ground?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

given the fact that none of us are with you and baby to evaluate the severity, i would STRONGLY reccommend that you use mother instincts (is baby crying more than usual when he/she falls). if there is a hicky developing on the head you may want to take baby to nearest er just to ensure that there is not any broken blood vessels that may cause major issues. one thing that i can say for sure do not let baby go to sleep anytime soon maybe within the hr ensure that baby is awake.

What problems occur to a fetus who swallows amniotic fluid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While in-utero the fetus does swallow the amniotic fluid and they breathe the amniotic fluid it is how they practice for life outside the womb. There are no complications to this unless the fetus has had a bowel movement otherwise known as meconium. This could lead to respiratory infection after birth. It is known as meconium aspiration, and usually if they see when your water breaks that he has done this they will have a neonatoligist there to help in suctioning out the lungs and usually there is a good out come. Other than that for the fetus to swallow it is fine because the fetus will filter it with their kidneys and then urinate it back into the amniotic sack.

What are the contraindications for infant massage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When Baby is ill, has a fever or any infectious disease

If under medications ( e.g antibiotics ) wait at least 2 hours or give the massage 2 hours before giving the medication. Once the dose of medicine is given wait the reason being that once it is given it goes to the blood and circulation systems and the massage will increase that circulation so the medicine will hit it faster so it is best not to give baby massage directly after.

Within 48 hours of immunization

Has broken skin, rash fracture or bruises,

straight after feed. Wait until 30 min after feed

- stop massaging baby if he/she becomes upset

never wake up a baby to give him a massage

Can suboxone show up in drug test for newborns?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You have got to be kidding me...what kind of question is this? I am an addicts as well but i still know enough to realize how messed up you are if ur worried about suboxone being in ur NEWBORNS system....SAD SAD SAD, i feel terrible for that child if your on suboxone KNOW ENOUGH and understand you cant take it while pregnant......Babys are innocent you make their choices, LETS BE SMARTER

What the person above this was trying to say is, as addicts we do things that we are not always proud of, and we should NEVER judge another person for what they have done in their lives, addiction is a disease and is uncontrollable. The answer to your question is, unless they run the special test that they use for Suboxone, then no, it will not show up in a drug test that is given to you, or your child, but please, for the sake of your life, and your child, please, get help, drugs are not the way, there is an amazing life to be lived clean and sober, I have been sober many years now and my life is so much better than it ever was when I was using. There are people out there willing to help, AA/NA is an amazing group of fellow addicts and alchoholics that will not judge you, as the person that wrote the previous answer did, but they will welcome you warmly and listen to you, understand you, and do all they can to help you to remain clean and sober.

"God take my will and my life, guide me in my recovery, and show me how to live. Amen."

I am pregnant and have started taking suboxone cause I don't want them to take my child from me when I go into labor which I am due in only five days. Seriously, hypocrites that take the damn Oxycontin sont know what its like to get pregnant and be sick EVERYDAY.. Who wants to withdrawl while pregnant? And then WHO KNOWS what you had to go through? Guess well be finding out what suboxone shows up as if anything in a few days.. If I go into labor. Quitting better late than never.. and I hear that Oxycontin has no real affects on a fetus except for they might have withdrawls when born which is TERRIBLE and the reaosn I am trying to withdrawl myself, NOW. SO Forget that first persons answer.

How long does a fever stay in a child?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Severity depends on the infection, age of the child, etc.

If the fever EVER peaks around 103 Fahrenheit, you should seek medical help immediately.

If it's a very young child, or you have reason to be concerned, seek a Pediatrician's advice. Instinct is your best tool - if you think it's too hot or has gone on too long, the most you'll get from taking action is a Doc telling you it's normal and a bill from the hospital.

What causes infants hands to stay cold?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When babies are born, their circulatory system (the heart and blood system) is going through a lot of changes. It can take up to 2 days - and occasionally a little longer - for the tiny capillaries (vessels) in the hands and feet to open up and have good circulation. It's kind of scary sometimes if you see a baby's hand all blue, especially if you can't get a good look at its face, but blueness of the hands and feet is normal, and may come and go, depending on whether they're crying and moving, or sleeping. This results in the hands and feet being a little cooler than you might expect, but their bodies are designed to tolerate this for a time. This blueness, called acrocyanosis, is a normal finding in a newborn. The blueness that you should be concerned about starts around the face, especially around the eyes, nose, and mouth. It is a sign of central cyanosis and means that there is not enough oxygen in the blood.

Can you swim with a cold sore?

Asked by Mommy2girls

Its not suggested by doctors to swim with any kind of open sore. Coat it with vaseline if you have to, but swimming with a cold sore in a public pool is considered horribly rude and inconsiderate. You might be asked to leave.

Your son has had a large lump on the left side of his neck just above his collar bone for a few months now with some change and it is visable and is semi hard to the touch He doesnt act like it hurts?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

simple answer, goto the doctor! It's serious enough to be noticable to you and have it hang around for months and obviously it's abnormal. Why take the chance? It could be anything from a cyst, to tissue growth, to even cancer......... get it checked out!

This could also be a case of Lymphangioma. A doctor would probably order some tests including a radiological/ sonographic examination.
