My prayers are with her and her family. She has made a wonderful contribution to our lives through her cookbooks.

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but didn't seem appropriate in the "baking & cooking section." I subscribe to a celiac list-serv and received info last night that Bette Hagman, the gluten-free gourmet author, has been hospitalized due to a stroke. Some of you may already have heard this but I thought others might want to know as well. Below is the info I was given in case anyone wants to send their good wishes for a fast recovery.

I heard about Bette's stroke 3 months ago, since I live in Seattle. She used to attend one of our local support groups. So the 'stroke' news is 3 months old--unless she had another stroke since then. :o However, I have not heard anything from any of our local celiac support group members about how she's doing. I'll call the Seattle GIG Office on Monday to post updated info here.

Yep the information on her condition was posted back on April 20th, however I was just curious how she is doing. Thanks.

OK, I just spoke to the Seattle GIG office about Bette Hagman. I'm not sure exactly when she had her stroke, but I guess it was around late March or early April. :unsure: She has been alert and speaking even right after her stroke, but she's still recovering physically. She does read encouragement cards and notes, so she would appreciate those. :) I don't know the address of the recovery facility where she's staying, but you could send notes in care of the Seattle GIG office:

The best news is that she is very determined to recover and return home ASAP.

Thank you all for posting the news of Bette Hagman. She is really a smart person and I have several of her cookbooks and also use her recipe for 4 blend flour rather than buy already mixed. She certainly will be in my prayers for a speedy recovery because we need her help and advice.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
