Elizabeth Hasselhoff - The View

ISorry, I have to whole heartedly disagree with you on the fact that she's faking Celiac. That's one thing I don't think anyone would do - unless they need a lot of attention, and have probelms.

Ah, but Bitsy has never actually come out and announced that she's a Celiac. Read the previous posts.

Compared to Bitsy, she sure is.

Not to mention the Academy Award, the fact that she's a Goodwill Ambassador to the UN AND she's having Brad Pitt's baby. Maybe not everyone likes her but I don't think "cool" is such an outrageous claim here.

Still, no matter what she does, I"ll always think of her as a homewrecker and rather unstable....third marriage coming up? See how long this one lasts.

And, I disagree - Hasselback is wholesome and adorable, I think, a counteragent to the fun cynicism of the show!

Right...because absolutely no one in this country has ever gotten divorced ever...except Angelina Jolie. Certainly no one who posts on these boards has ever had a failed marriage or anything. And Bitsy's marriage is forever. I'm sure. She's -- what? -- twenty five? [snort]

Jolie is a narcisist at best. Harmless, unless you're a handsome man's wife, but only an interest because she does things others wouldn't for the attention it gets her.

Why can't we have a cool celebrity...like Angelina Jolie

Because Angelina is too busy adopting Ethiopia.

And stealing husbands....what was wrong with Jen, after all? Okay I'm giving the Pitt/Jolie marriage um.....two years.

I think Bitsy will be okay...

It probably WOULD be difficult being hitched to Billy Bob, but he and Angelina seemed perfectly matched - I"m surprised it failed - ;)

(you are quite funny with your observations, I'll give you that)

I like what I've seen of Elizabeth. I have to wonder if she is being constantly glutened by Joy. Joy just seems to be the type who would go into Elizabeth's gluten-free food stash and touching everything with gluten-y hands, just to be a b****. I've never been a fan of The View at all, and am even less of a fan of Joy, who always seems to go out of her way to be horrible. I think maybe Elizabeth deals with a lot of mysterious glutenings and brainfog. <_<

As for Angelina, I've been compared to her (back in my skinnier days). My husband used to like her, but said that once she married Billy Bob, the whole situation just grossed him out. :lol:

Joy reminds me of my horrible mil. BLECH! :angry: And I've only been able to watch that stupid show about a half dozen times. Nothing about it appeals to me. Eh, I'm not a tv person anyway.

I love them all. It reminds me of what I left in DC, when I left to marry and raise two girl. I would not have traded that for a million (hum, well no). Don't some of you ever wonder what life would have been like, if you did not take that turn in the road.

I would not have traded it, but I do wonder..... I was in politics in Washington. I do wonder where I would have ended up. :unsure: PS- I was NEVER AN INTERN. :lol:

As far as I can tell she has not answered that question. She has mentioned she does not eat gluten but does not say why. She hasen't responded to any emails either, so maybe we will just have to wait and see if she ever tells. It would be nice if she did, then we could have someone speak out about it. I know many of us emailed Oprah last year trying to get her to address celiac, but no luck so far. It's too bad because awarness could really be raised about celiac which would make doctors and patients aware of it, might even save a few lives.

:lol::lol:

That made me laugh! I gotta say though....I'm with CeliaCruz on this one...I'd much rather have someone like Angelina Jolie as a spokesperson than this other person...ummm what was her name again? I havent watched The View in years so dont know who she is and I must have not watched that season of survivor either...I have no clue who she is.

It doesnt sound like she's owning up to being Celiac (if she even is)....I know Angelina wouldnt hold back if she was a Celiac....she puts it all out there....nothing "fake" about her....thats why I like her. She does what she wants and she tells it like it is. She doesnt care what people think.

Jen, she seems sweet and all but I get the feeling she cared more about her career then her mariage and now she's regretting it...too late. She was self absorbed and I think it cost her her marriage. I think she has self-esteem issues as well.

debmidge Rising Star

The Jen/Brad/Angelina thing reminds me of the Debbie Reynolds/Liz Taylor/Eddie Fisher thing of the 50's .... Debbie was married to Eddie and Liz stole him away - same as Brad/Jen. Nothing changes in Hollywood.

I never watch The View; it's on while I am at work. I can't take Star Jones anyway. Hopefully EH will return emails or mention them on the show. That would be nice.

As to Angelina adopting Ethopia, well I wish she'd adopt some from USA. I can't stand celebrities who "poop where they eat."

Naaaaw, I think those are real too. She's got them in her childhood pics and in the pics I've seen of her Mom....looks like she's got those same lips. Maybe she "enhances" them but I doubt it...she doesnt seem the type.

I know you're being funny, and I'm not offended - but please be careful and sensitive about what you joke about. I have an adopted son from overseas (he needed a home just as badly as any child in the US) and I have friends who just adopted 2 from Ethiopia. I don't care for Angelina Jolie one little bit, but her splash on the media with her adoptions has raised awareness of the need for adoptive homes for children all over the world.

Really? You do sound offended. I in no way implied that it was a bad thing that she is adopting children. I'm all for it, my dad was adopted, my cousins are adopted. Yay for adoption, I'd like to adopt a child myself. There are children all over the world that need homes, and it doesn't matter to me where those homes are found, as long as they're good homes.

I don't think I should have to defend myself for something that was in no way spiteful or remotely offensive. I'll refrain from making jokes in the future, since I'm not good at walking on eggshells and being politically correct.

I'm sorry for being insensitive.

Whoa baby! Calm down. You don't need to "defend yourself". It takes a lot more than a comment on a Celiac message board to offend me. Like I said, I don't care for Angelina in the slightest, but she has raised awareness of the plight of children all over the world that need homes. I simply asked you to be sensitive - there are many people on this board that have internationally adopted children.

You know what I think is hilarious? This thread started out about a TV personality who may have Celiac (she really SHOULD talk about it if that 's the case but I wonder if the producers won't let her?)- and has turned into heated opinions on ....big lips, marriage wreckers, Hollywood scandals and overseas adoptions...

Poor Elizabeth Hasselbeck, she doesn't even know what kind of trouble she's causing here! :blink:

My friends and I have discussed this exact topic, as we ponder various surgical procedures in our advancing years...and we think, though they are freakishly large, they are real.....note the wrinkles - lips with collagen are stretched tight, no wrinkles (bet you never thought about this in detail, did you?) :)

      How high is too high?  I take 10,000 IU vitamin D3 every day.  My blood is stable at 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L).  Even at 10,000 a day it took 8 years to raise it to 80.  Higher levels of 25(OH)D in blood can moderate the autoimmune attack.  Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Lower vitamin D levels have also been associated with increased OCD symptom severity.  This is a most dangerous popular belief. As mentioned you are suffering from vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Part of the recovery, that is never explained by doctors, is replenishing your deficits.  Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption.  The Western diet is a diet of deficiency.  That is why many processed foods are fortified.  Gluten free foods are exempt.   "I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis."  There are 200 symptoms that can be caused by Celiac Disease and the malabsorbtion it can cause.     • "Floating, undigested stools for over a year now. Dont think its related to celiac as it was like this since im 17 and not 13-16( i got diagnosed at 13). " Many are misdiagnosed as gall bladder disease.  Choline is needed to create the bile salts needed to digest fat.  90% of our population is deficient.  Eggs and beef are the best source.  The RDA (minimum daily allowance is 500 mg to 3500 mg daily.  One egg has 27% DV.  Broccoli, chopped, boiled, drained, ½ cup only has 7%.  Low choline can cause Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.   Choline and Risk of Neural Tube Defects in a Folate-fortified Population; Could we be overlooking a potential choline crisis in the United Kingdom?;   Choline was formerly called vitamin B4.  I prefer phoshphatidyl choline for supplementation as it is the form we get in food.   • Chronic back pain started gradually, worsens with movement, lots of cracking/popping sounds.  Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to chronic back pain, But I took levothyroxine for slightly low FT4 levels.  I supplement Iodine by taking Liquid Iodine.  50 mcg per drop.  The RDA is 150 mcg to 1000 mcg in the US.  In Japan it is 150 mcg to 3000 mcg.  I take 600 mcg a day. Since 1970 the intake of iodine has decreased in the US by 50%.  Hypothyroidism has increased 50%.  Insufficient iodine leads to the thyroid gland working harder to produce these hormones, and if it cannot keep up, hypothyroidism can develop, according to the Mayo Clinic.   Iodine Insufficiency in America: The Neglected Pandemic.   I see improvement in muscle tone, healing, brain fog since taking the Liquid Iodine.  I could not eat enough seaweed.

      I completely understand the frustration of finding reliable gluten-free ingredients—it's exhausting when trusted products disappear or companies don't respond to safety inquiries. For teff flour in bulk, check out Azure Standard or Bulk Foods; both often carry gluten-free grains in larger quantities and clearly label dedicated facilities. For soy flour, Anthony's Goods tests for gluten and offers bulk options, though always verify their current certifications. For beans, peas, and lentils, Palouse Brand is a great choice—they're GFCO-certified and transparent about their farming practices. As for lentil elbow macaroni, Explore Cuisine offers similar pastas, though cross-contact policies vary. When companies don't respond, I lean on third-party certifications (GFCO, NSF) or stick with brands like Jovial or Edward & Sons that prioritize allergen safety. It's a constant hunt, but hopefully these leads help! Have you tried local co-ops or ethnic markets for teff? Sometimes they stock bulk African or Indian brands with clear labeling.

      Beans in desserts are a fantastic way to add moisture, structure, and protein while keeping recipes gluten-free. Black bean brownies are a classic, but other beans like adzuki and pinto can also work well—adzuki beans are naturally sweet and often used in Asian desserts, making them great for cookies or cakes. Lentils, especially red lentils, blend smoothly into batters and can replace flour in recipes like blondies or muffins. Since you’re allergic to chickpeas, you might try navy beans or cannellini beans for a milder flavor in vanilla-based desserts. For less crumbliness, blending cooked beans into a paste helps bind the dough, and adding a bit of xanthan gum (if tolerated) can improve texture. If you’re experimenting, start with recipes that replace half the flour with bean purée before going fully flourless. Have you tried using aquafaba (bean liquid) as an egg substitute? It works wonders in gluten-free baking too!

      This may make you feel better about cross-contamination: https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-i-need-new-designated-pans-plates-and-utensils/ https://theceliacscene.com/rethinking-cross-contamination-no-need-to-be-so-careful/ I use Tom's of Maine or a toothpaste that states it's gluten free.  I have allergic reactions to some toothpastes so some of the toothpastes in health food stores are usually safer for me. They're typically gluten free as well. Spices can contain cross-contamination from gluten.  There are a few lists online of spices that are safe for celiacs.  I also grow my own herbs and use them in place of store bought when I can.  I think Badia lists their spices as gluten free and Spice Lab has some gluten free too. Knitty Kitty has a great point about nutritional deficiencies and B vitamins.  I got a lot of aches and pains when I got off gluten.  I tried to replace wheat with other healthy grains like teff, buckwheat and sorghum.  Limiting one's diet too much and not getting enough vitamins, can make someone feel worse.  A lot of the gluten free foods in the stores are made with lower quality ingredients than the wheat varieties.  I try to replace all my foods with homemade options.  Then I know the quality of the ingredients and which vitamins I may be high or low in.  Probiotics or prebiotics can help with bathroom issues.  Better to get them in foods if possible and not pill form.  My doctors keep recommending magnesium too.  It's not supposed to be taken alone, but they don't seem to care about that.  It's easy for vitamin D to be low too.  That was another thing doctors told me to take.  Unfortunately, they didn't monitor it and it went too high.  Again, better from natural sources like food and sunlight.  However, supplementing can help if you're not getting enough.  Some sources say to take D with K2.  You may want to have iodine levels checked.  If you add iodine, make sure to get sufficient selenium for thyroid.  You can get iodine naturally in most seaweed.  Nori may also be one of the few non-animal sources for B12.  Brazil nuts are a good source of selenium and you only need a few a day to meet RDA.  Some brands of nuts specifically say gluten free.  Unfortunately, there are issues with Brazil nut production and they're much harder to find this year. The more you can vary your diet the better.  One study said aim for at least 30 different foods in a week.  You might want to try kiwi fruit.  There were some studies that said eating kiwi improved mood.  It also has a covering which most people don't eat, so that should protect what's inside from contamination. I've limited my diet quite a bit over the years because of migraines, so I know how uncomfortable it can be finding safe foods.  However, I'm afraid limiting diets like that may actually be causing more harm than good.  It's something I'm trying to work on.  I keep trying to expand the number of foods I eat and my recipe repertoire.  I made a list of brands of foods that I've found that are gluten free so I have a guide when I'm shopping.

      Hello, @Dora77, I agree with you that your doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease.  My doctors didn't recognize nutritional deficiencies either.  I became very deficient in vitamins before I was diagnosed, so having experienced similar, I understand what a difficult time you're having.   Poor absorption of essential nutrients is caused by the damage done to the intestines by Celiac Disease.  The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients, so supplementing to boost your absorption is beneficial.  New symptoms can develop or worsen as one becomes more and more deficient.   There's eight essential B vitamins that our bodies cannot make, so they must come from our food and supplements.  These eight B vitamins work together, like instruments in an orchestra.  They need to be supplemented together with essential minerals like magnesium.   Deficiencies in the B vitamins can have overlapping symptoms.  Some symptoms can be traced to specific B vitamins.  OCD can be traced to low Pyridoxine Vitamin B 6.  Yes, I had OCD and washed my hands until my skin cracked and bled.  ADHD symptoms can be traced to low Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  ADHD is something one is born with.  People who are born with ADHD have a metabolic problem with getting sufficient thiamine into their brain cells.  People who develop symptoms of ADHD later in life are more likely to be low in Thiamine.  The same symptoms appear if one is not getting sufficient thiamine from the diet.  Yes, I developed symptoms of ADHD.  These symptoms improved and disappeared after supplementing with Thiamine and the other essential nutrients. I was diagnosed with Type Two Diabetes.  99% of diabetics of both types are deficient in Thiamine because our kidneys don't re-absorb thiamine properly.  Thiamine is needed to make insulin and digestive enzymes in the pancreas.  Poor digestion (floating, undigested stools) can result with insufficient pancreatic enzymes.  The gall bladder (upper right quadrant) needs thiamine to make and release bile which also helps with digestion.  Constipation is also a symptom of Thiamine and magnesium deficiencies.  The thyroid is another organ that uses lots of Thiamine, too.  Low thyroid hormones can be due to insufficient thiamine, selenium, iron, and iodine.  Swelling of hands, face and feet are also symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.   Our bodies use thiamine to make energy so organs and tissues can function.  Thiamine cannot be stored longer than three weeks.  If our stores are not replenished every day, we can run out of Thiamine quickly.  If we do get some thiamine from our diet, symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously, because a twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent improvement in brain function and symptoms.  Thiamine interacts with all the other vitamins in some way.  Many other vitamins and their metabolic processes won't work without thiamine.  In Celiac Disease you are apt to be low in all the essential nutrients, not just thiamine, but thiamine deficiency symptoms may appear first. Talk to your dietician about eating a nutritionally dense gluten free diet.  Keep in mind that processed gluten free foods do not contain sufficient vitamins to be useful.  Processed gluten free foods are filled with saturated fats and excess fiber (that could explain your constipation).  Dairy products, milk and cheese can cause problems because Casein, the protein in dairy, causes the same autoimmune reaction that gluten does in some.  Your current restricted diet is dangerous to your health.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  It's a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal healing.   Discuss with your doctors about correcting nutritional deficiencies as soon as possible.   Interesting reading... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34165060/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21816221/#:~:text=Lipid-soluble thiamin precursors can,and attention deficit%2Fhyperactivity disorder.
