:( IT'S GONE NOW :(

Gosh you guys, I'm so excited.

I think we've come along way---

I emailed them this am and pleaded them to play the video for all us on celiac.com to watch and thus educate others who are not dx'd yet.

I just went on to do another print out and email some family members and THERE IS WAS.

you have to watch a comercial for Special K cereal :lol: but under the picture of Simon --were the videos are and WA LA.....THERE IS IS.

Going back and watch it now.

Thanks Judy, I don't own a television so watching the clip on the Internet was very resourceful.

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

I'm so glad they did it too.

Realized last nite ;) I 'shouldn't have assumed it was MY email and taken credit for it',,,,,,maybe lots of others on the board and out in 'cyberspace' did too, but if so, better yet....It's still up there this am so who cares...they listened to someone.....

Hubby watched it too and thought it was good.

anxious to hear what son in CA thought of it.... :rolleyes:

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.

elonwy Enthusiast

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 just went on the website, and I don't see the video. What is the description next to the link?

floridanative Community Regular

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.

OMG IT NEVER DAWNED ON ME...LOOK AT OPRAH AND THE BEEF...

Oh it makes me so sad, can it be true.... :huh::rolleyes:

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.

then sent another one today and think did a cut and paste will have to see. I'm really pissed :ph34r: (pardon me) now. I'll paste it here if I find it.

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.

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
