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

Someone posted on one of these threads that they got a free copy and read it, or was reading it.

So tell tell, what's it about?

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better.

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies.  It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about.   Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis?  Was your tTg IgA level very high?  These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients.   Are you eating processed gluten free food stuffs?  Have you looked into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?
