I had the tv on GMA ealier but was not really watching it and I could swear that Sarah (food contributor) said that some cinnamon buns were wheat free and gluten free. She went quickly on to the next thing so I don't know if I misheard her or not. Nothing else on the table was mentioned as gluten free. Did anyone else see this and if so, is that what she said about the cin. buns - that they were gluten free? If so that's pretty awesome!

Was it Sara Moulton?

I didn't see it but.....I tried to do a search at gma and they are having a netwok outage :unsure:

Usually they will have the recipes of the foods that were shown on air on the website.

I didn't see it, but that is very possible. She works at Gourmet Magazine which featured Annalise Roberts in their November issue. Maybe I'll send an e-mail to one of my friends there to find out, and if that was infact the case find out if they were from Annalise's recipe.

I'll let you know.

I finally got on to the gma site, here is what they sat about Sara's appearance (on first glance I don't notice any mention of anything gluten-free):

July 11, 2006 — Every year, "Good Morning America's" food editor Sara Moulton navigates her way through aisle after aisle at the Fancy Food Show.

At this year's 52nd Summer Fancy Food Show, 160,000 food products were featured.

The show, which is closed to the public and travels around the country, kicked off in New York on Sunday and ends its Big Apple stay today.

To see where it goes next, visit the show's Web site.

All the products featured there will be available to the public within weeks. Moulton found that this year, the predominant flavor trends were wasabi and pomegranates.

Check out some of the great new products she found below.

Okay - I'm sure it was the cin. buns she mentioned as being wheat free and gluten free. I don't think I was dreaming. I'm going to try and e-mail Sarah and see if I heard her correctly or not. Thanks for posting the list - see the word free in the cin. buns? That's why I'm thinking that's it. I'll post a response if I get one.

If you go to the link at the end of my post the first item on the list is the frozen cinnamon buns. There is a clickabel link to the place that makes them, it is called The Robinhood Free Meetinghouse's. That's where the "free" might be coming from. But it still could be a possibility.

Let us know if you do get a response :)

I had GMA on that morning and my husband said that she mentioned something about gluten free food. I was out of the room at the moment. I ran back in, but didn't hear anything else about gluten free foods. So if you were dreaming my husband must have been having the same dream ;)

Oh good then - I'm not totally losing it - lol! GMA has not replied to me and I doubt they will. I have to go through Sara's show I guess to try and get to her. I don't watch her so does anyone know what her food network show is called?

It said Robin Hood Free Meetinghouse's Frozen Cinnamon Buns. Robin Hood is a big flour manufacturer. Why would he and his band of merry men bake gluten-free cinnamon buns - they are in the business of selling gluteny flour.

Great if it's true, but I'm skeptical. ;)

Well maybe the same reason Whole Foods now has Gluten Free Bakehouse goods. If Lee Tobin, their head baker, had not been dx'd with Celiac a few years ago - that line would not exist today.

Thanks ChelsE for posting the links but I can't find a place to e-mail anyone at Sara's show. Let me know if I'm overlooking it. Sara said something was wheat and gluten free so now I'd really like to know what she was talking about. I'm not sure she was talking about the cin. buns but it seemed that she was.

Oh I totally forgot about this. Let me know if you don't get a response from her and I will e-mail her. (We work for the same parent company so getting an internal e-mail may help).

No reply from Sara but I'm not sure I e-mailed the right address.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
