Gluten Busters: Gluten-Free Product Alerts by Celiac.com

I agree. Elizabeth has significantly increased awareness through her interview on Larry King and discussions on The View. Many individuals are misdiagnosed or given incomplete diagnoses that only identify the symptoms, not the cause. Hopefully, many will be diagnosed with celiac disease due to Elizabeth's promotional efforts. Thank you Elizabeth!

I also applaud Elizabeth for her efforts. I just bought the book and can't wait to read it. I was only diagnosed 7 months ago (I'm 48!) and am sick of doctor's lack of knowledge about this disease. I'm sure if there was a drug for celiac and the drug companies could profit things would be VERY different.

I'm glad she increased the awareness. However, I have her book and I am very disappointed at all the incorrect data. Many will read it and be misled. I would like this disease to be taken seriously because when you call it 'an allergy', people expect a sudden visible reaction. When they don't see that, they assume that you are a closet hypochondriac. The gluten-free diet is also not a weight loss solution. This disease is life-threatening to those who are walking around misdiagnosed with negative celiac blood tests.

I agree. I had lost 20 lbs before anyone found that I had celiac sprue disease. My doctors thought it was IBS, site effects of medication I was on etc. I had severe stomach pain, diarrhea,thyroid problems, sugar problems. Until they sent me for my 7 year Colon, Endo Screening. They found it on my colonoscopy and lab work. My levels were 70 times more than normal. It is very hard to find foods that agree with me. I am also a Cancer Patient. Also I have found that these foods are very expensive. It is a very serious Disease and Mine had gone undetected for so many years, that my small intestines were eat up. I have been on this diet for about 4 weeks now and it is hard to eat out or snack. I have found that I carry snack things with me. I just wish these foods were more reasonably priced. I love the frozen waffles, choc chip cookies, Tap Bread. But my prices are limited.

Elisabeth is a heroine. I'm a total liberal, and some things just transcend politics, religion, race, and anything else. She proves it. I'll always love her for bravely speaking out on celiac. It's especially brave because she's a woman who talks about "bathroom issues." It's easier for men to talk about that. I love Elisabeth.

I applaud Elizabeth for coming public about her condition. I do ask for money saving tips for feeding an 11 year old. Crackers over $6 a box don't cut it. What about bread for sandwiches? Being new to this disease I am thoroughly perplexed.
