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.

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)

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      @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.

      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...

      @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?
