Oh my gosh Judy! What a great idea! Thank you for doing that. I'm going to watch it now. I missed just a snipet since I was half asleep but I heard bloating and Celiac and I jumped so high I almost fell of the bed.

This is the beginning of something big for us people.

Hi Jen and FN

Hubby watched it too and thought it was good.

I must be foggier than usual this morning - I can't find the video. If someone else finds it, can they add the link here?

Thanks.

It was just there, I watched it like ten minutes ago ( I teared up a bit too) and now I can't find the video. I predict that our ranks will swell after this though, I mean I demanded the blood test because of a magazine article.

I e-mailed GMA and begged them to repost the video so others can see it. I have a client who is trying to help a friend so I wanted her to be able to see it. Anyway, I did find another video that maybe you all know about already buy I didn't. It came up in a Yahoo search. It's Open Original Shared Link and it's very informative indeed so we can refer people to it as well.

p.s. this link (above) is not working now but it was a minute ago. Does anyone think it's wierd that GMA has about 500 videos on their site, but I can't seem to find the Celiac video from last Thurs.??? Am I just overlooking it somehow? I went to the video link at the top of their home page, then tons of videos come up for different subjects such as health. Many stories are up from a long while back - but not the latest one.

p.s.s. My bad - I had a period in place of a slash. You should be able to view video by clicking on link above now.

Thanks so much for your post. Been off forum a few days.

I'll see if I can find it.

Nice to have one that's always there.

Just wanted to note that GMA finally got back to me today and said they are considering my request about putting the video back up on their site. I still find it fishy that they have about 500 videos on their site...some really old ones and yet they can't keep the Celiac video up for a week.

Me too FN :o

Thanks so much for doing that and glad they got back to you.

I think we're emailing the wrong person...Oprah....has she ever gotten back to ANYONE? :rolleyes: .

GMA did this piece on their own, put it back after it was taken off...

just my thought, but if you have time, maybe you want to start a new thread about this AND we can bombard them with emails to put it back up. Sure a whole show at Oprah's would be nice. but maybe we can get news out faster esp. to our family and friends.co workers etc.

I'm going to write and ask if they'll put it back up too noting older ones there.

What do you think of the idea of --if they decided to do it--- they can email Scott and tell him when it's going on and some how he can post it. I won't mention that one till I hear from you. I'm too new to know whether Scott does stuff like this. Just an idea.

I like your idea about Scott getting involved but I don't know if he is willing to do this. Maybe he'll let us know. In any case, I will start the thread tomorrow aabout bombarding GMA to beg them to put the video back up. This is just plain odd to me. I know for sure (since I reg. watch GMA) that one of their videos (of so many) is over six months old. Why can't they give us our full fifteen minutes of fame?

I know, Scott's got his hands full. Maybe they could write you and you could post it. Maybe they will tell you about when it will go up so you can notify the forum :blink: Maybe since your starting the thread that might work. Thanks so much for doing it. I didn't get the job done. Trying to get some other projects out of the way. Been spending way too much time on this computer... :lol: I promise I'll write Maybe you could post the link to where to write...I wrote to Dr Tim and the main 'contact page' maybe ther is a better one.

Thanks again.

Judy - On the www.gma.abcnews.com site, there is a place that says something like 'questions or comments'. That is how I e-mailed them both to thank Dr. Tim last week and to ask them to put the video back up. Bot today I noticed they now offer a service called 'video on demand' and they charge a monthly fee for it. I would not pay them a penny for that service!!!

Does anyone else think abc may have gotten a call from The National Wheat Assoc.?? I'm not one for conspiracy theories but I guess Shirley (member here) mentioned in another post how the Wheat assoc. sued the Celiac/org group because their logo is a sheath of wheat with the no symbol over it. Way more people were apt to see the Celiac story on GMA than ever to see the Celiac/org logo, right? It is not in question that some (if not all) large companies and industry assocations as a matter of routine search the web for stories that they either like or don't like about themselves. Any of you who work for such a place know what I'm talking about.

I couldn't find on google any phone # anywhere to call and will still try to find one..if anyone does,,,I'll use it.

I emaild both of those places too. Thought at east Dr Tim would answer.

It didn't copy but it was really pc but very strong. I wanted my dentist to see it

I've been kind of worried that something like this might happen. I mentioned it a while back in the Oprah thread. The network might not want to rile up the wheat growers (sponsers=money), and if they got a complaint from them, it could account for them pulling the video.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
