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.

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.

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.

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.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
