Just tuned in Larry King Live and a woman named Deborah Scaling Kiley on her lead in was talking about people and survival and she actually mentioned people who survive celiac disease. I wish he had asked about it, but was shocked to hear it mentioned.

Sally--I did Tivo it and forgot about it till now! I just checked--the show was about people who survived life-threatening situations. The woman you mentioned was talking about her boat sinking and being attacked be sharks. 2 of her companions didn't survive. I heard no mention of Celiac....

Hey Patti:

Can you listen to it one more time. If I heard it right she said it at the same time she said something about many people surviving different things and I am just sure she mentioned celiac. If not maybe I am finally losing it!

Thank you Patti for finding the transcripts. I just read the transcripts and wow quite a story. It is amazing to say the least, I remember when this happened back in the early 80s. I also read her first book.

From what I can gather the person with celiac disease didn't come out on the show. This is what was said...

--------------------------------------------------------------------

""""KING: boy, that's all from "I Shouldn't Be Alive," a weekly on the Discovery Channel. Our guest is Deborah Scaling Kiley, author of, "No Victims, Only Survivors."

You have a foundation with that name, right?

KILEY: We're working on it right now. My lawyers are establishing it right now. It's really my goal, through this book, to really work with people and take them from that victimization into being survivors.

I tell stories of many different survivors here, and breast cancer, celiac's disease, there's diabetes. Yossi's story, who is here tonight, is also in there. """"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

If Deborah “Debbie” Kiley Blackmon speak of celiac disease in her book -- we need her as our celiac disease spokesperson!

I'll link her web site and if anyone wants to write and ask her more questions... Open Original Shared Link Click on the link 'the author' then choose 'eMail the author'

I thought that's what I heard, wow thanks for finding the transcript. I wish he had asked about the celiac, but I think it's a good thing that it was mentioned.

If no -one wants to write to her and ask -- I will... Just let me know...

I remember her story and read her first book about the boat the 'trashman'. I know what it feels like being at the mercy of the ocean. I'm a boater, have been my whole life, learned to swim before I learn to walk. And I've made the same trip from the NE to south Florida by yacht, and the gulf stream crossing many many times... and can imagine what it must have been like for them. I can't imagaine being a celiac and a drift for days with nothing... I've been in 12' seas and no navigational tools, only a compass in the middle if a fierce storm.

It's not clear by Larry Kings interview who was the Celiac...

my daughter almost died, if she hadn't been diagnosed in time she would have, she dropped 50% of her body weight in less than a month, at a year old she weighed less than she did when she was born. The doctors thought that we had caught it too late, they thought they were going to send her home to die. :(

Lister, make no mistake, people have died from this disease..... Undiagnosed celiac kills......

Even diagnosed, there are cases (and complications), google up refractory celiac sprue, or ulcerative jejunitis.

Every person's response to the gluten free diet is different. Some people experience immediate improvment, others it takes over 2 years for the healing to begin...... Depends on the severity of the damage, I guess......

sorry this kinda went off topic. yeah i had immediat improvments the first week but then i was back to where i was the next week really strange its like some days im improving and some days im getting worse. as for damage and me, the only thing my doctor has found was subsarean folds in my small intestine, so it looks like im in pretty good shape. o bye the way if anyone is looking for a copy of the book on lary king live, go to well pm me and i will give u a website where you can find a free copy of the book, its really good i just started reading it today, also the site has gluten free cookbooks and what not i just dont want to publicly post it

      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?
