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)

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      By catnapt · Posted

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
