Elizabeth Hasselbeck On Leno

Elizabeth Hasselbeck was on Leno last night. She has a new book coming out that is called "Cooking without the G." G meaning gluten. She has Celiac Disease. I didn't know that. The appearance was pretty disappointing. Leno cut her off pretty abruptly when she tried to go into talking about Celiac. Earlier in the interview thy did get in much about the election that has been over for months now. So much for discussing issues that are timely. Anyway...I think she said the book comes out on May 4th. Generally speaking I find her somewhat annoying but wouldn't mind seeing what she had to say about her life with Celiac and seeing some of her cooking tips.

I've been looking forward to this book for a while now. I'm glad it will be available soon!

The actual title is "The Gluten-Free Diet: A Gluten Free Survival Guide" and it's due out May 4. I just checked the two big book sellers online and both have it available for pre-order.

That's disappointing that Leno cut her off when she tried to talk about it. :(

That is disappointing.

I was all set to watch, and fell asleep during the monologue <_<

Yeah it was extremely disappointing. Naturally, I always perk up whenever I hear the word gluten or celiac on TV. He even went so far as to make jokes about it being a weight loss book on how to keep your g-spot or something lame like that. I think he thought it was just like another book about a fad diet or something. He'd obviously not done his research and had no clue what the book was about.

Bah! I realize it's an entertainment show, and I wouldn't expect an in depth discussion about Celiac or any other health issue, but too bad he had to turn the whole thing into a joke. I wish I had recorded it..... :angry:

She was doing publicity last year about going VEGAN on top of being gluten free, for weight loss, and since she's such a flake anyway, it hasn't helped her reputation.

It's very difficult to eat vegan and gluten free and get enough nutrients, it can be done, theoretically, but realistically, does she do it with her schedule and public appearances, and stay gluten- free ?

What good is a book if you need a chef to have enough time to prepare all your meals for you, if you get my drift.

Hasselbeck isn't my favorite celeb either, but at least she does bring up celiac disease often. I've heard her mention it several times on "The View," back when I was able to watch it while working from home.

I noticed in your closing that you had microscopic colitis.. I also was diagnosed with microscopic colitis 3 years after my celiac diagnosis. I wonder if that is common in the celiac community. Unfortunately, now I have gastroparesis. Maybe there is a connection to the 3 conditions.

PS Elizabeth Hasslebeck is ok...I do wish Leno had let expound a bit more. We need more people to speak out on behalf of people who live with gastric distress issues.

      And I’m anaemic, however I’m also female and vegetarian. I had an iron trans a couple of years ago however it’s starting to dwindle and taking supplements doesn’t seem to work. I can’t seem to absorb it.

      Lymph nodes

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
