I usually don't watch The View as I'm working but I had to eat lunch early today and I had the tv on while preparing lunch. Some Dr. was on pushing his book - Ultra Metabolism. He did not mention Celiac disease but he did say gluten in the course of talking about what our bodies were made to digest. Elizabeth (host) did not say she had Celiac either so that was disappointing. But hey - I'm sure the book talks about Celiac among other diseases that the food our society eats causes. I'm going to look for the book and skim through it to see if it's worth a read. I do not know the author's name but it is Dr. something.

I actually saw this, too. He kind of nodded to Elizabeth, and she to him when he mentioned gluten--but that was it. I was, however, angry that they had a doctor on that was very interesting and talking about how food can affect our health, and when he started talking about gluten, and actually said "one percent of the population is severly affected, and another 30 percent--" at that point Joy cut him off and said how everyone is allergic to wheat now, all her friends who go to a nutritionist are told they are allergic to wheat, blah, blah, blah. She cut him off and basicly acted as if wheat allergy was just a big fad. (I know there are people who feel that way, but here was a person, a doctor, who was trying to explain why) I was so dissapointed--I thought this was going to be a good discussion about nutrition, how food factors into health and inflammation. The women on the panel kept interrupting him and down-playing just about everything he was trying to say. I would like to read his book, I got that much out of the segment :D . I plan to email the View, and voice my opinion--which is all this rant is, by the way :)

:) Patti, I agree and will rant along with you. I get frustrated with that show for that exact reason. Too many of the hosts interrrupt the guest and you really can't get enjoyment or information that guest brings to the show. :( Not too many talk shows let the guests shine. I guess the only one I can really say does that is perhaps Charlie Rose, but he is on at midnight here.

I will check out the book, though!

Patti - I agree with everything in your rant (lol). It seemed as though at least everyone but Elizabeth was totally against even having this guy on the show but I wonder why.... I saw the nod you spoke up between the doc and Elizabeth too. I don't know why she can't just come out and admit why she's gluten free. Im also going to e-mail the show and let them know how dissappointing that segment was when in fact, if done correctly, could have helped thousands of people - at least! Remember though the sponsers of network tv are greatly represented by lots of gluten containing food makers..... In any case, it sounds like the book is worth looking into. For those who have lots of health issues, the book goes into how food is affecting those too. At least that is what I perceived from the 'barely could get a word in edgewise' good doctor'.

Robbin and Tiffany--Thanks for confirming that I wasn't being too critical--the thing is, how many times do they have a celebrity on and literally hang on every word they say? It was just so annoying to try and listen to what this man had to say, while they were cackling on over him. Well, if we feel this way, and let them know, maybe others around the country will do the same. I also wonder if they poo-poo'd the wheat talk because of sponsors--wouldn't surprise me at all. Grr-rr :angry:

PS--Tiffany, I also wonder why Elizabeth dosen't fully acknowledge her gluten problem. She alludes to it, but that's as far as it goes. I emailed her several months ago, and got no response.

Patti - I have no idea what Elizabeth is so scared of except her show advertizers which pay her salary.

I just googled the book and the Dr. who was on today has a website - www.unltrametablism.com which I'm pretty sure he did not get to mention today. Anyway, he has a little audio pc. you can click on to hear but it's nothing much. His diet is basically whole foods and no sugar or caffeine and I'm not sure I can cut those out too. Maybe one day I'll get there. But basically he says no packaged and processed foods which means essentially - no GLUTEN!

I saw that today too, and was frustrated right along with you. They were giving him such a hard time, and would not let the poor man speak. I was hoping more would be said about the gluten issue, but Elizabeth H. seemed to change the subject pretty quickly after that came up. Don't know what the deal is there....but it was really aggravating to watch.

I e-mailed Dr. Hyman as well as Barbara Walters. I asked her why they bothered to have the guy on when they didn't let him get a word in edgewise and said if they'd let him speak and get a few statements completed he could have helped thousands of people who are sick and doctors can't figure out why.

Because people don't want to hear that the foods they're addicted to are having a negative effect on their health.

I think there's also a possibility that corporate sponsors -- particularly if they're big food companies that don't want to deal with the extra overhead of producing gluten-free products -- might not be so supportive of public exposure. I think this is why it's easier to pass celiac off as an allergy problem in the mainstream media -- otherwise, there would have to be a giant revolution in the way food is produced and processed in the US.

Hi my names is Marie - I was recently diagnosed with Celia. My husband John

saw this guy on TV talking about his book and told me about it. The doctor's

name is Mark Hyman, M.D. - Ultra-Metabolism is the name of the book.

They are all careful not to admit anything. Notice how Star never admitted having a bypass? ha.

But i agree, I hate when they interrupt informative guests..just to make a joke or put in their two cents.

Although its true, the wheat-free thing is a 'fad' for some people , its too bad they didnt take that opportunity to inform more people about the legitimacy of it.

According to his book, he mentions thyroid affecting metabolism, hypothyroidism as a leading cause of weight gain..and "gluten-allergy" as a leading cause of hypothyroidism. And by removing gluten, in essence, u can boost your metabolism. YAY. I wish I could send this book to all my past gastroenterologists who said it was impossible for me to have celiac because i was overweight. Maybe im overweight BECAUSE i have celiac! (ok, that and i like to bake)

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure.

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease. Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease.

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease.   Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease.  Though having the genes for Celiac is not diagnostic in and of itself, taken with the antibody tests, the anemia and your reaction to gluten, it may be a confirmation you have Celiac disease.   Do discuss Gastrointestinal Beriberi with your doctors.  In Celiac disease, Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.  The digestive system can be affected by localized Thiamine deficiency which causes symptoms consistent with yours.  Correction of nutritional deficiencies quickly is beneficial.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, helps improve intestinal health.  All eight B vitamins, including Thiamine (Benfotiamine), should be supplemented because they all work together.   The B vitamins are needed in addition to iron to correct anemia.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.
