Fyi: American Celiac Disease Alliance

The celiac community showed its strength and Congress passed a landmark food allergen labeling bill. Now, it's time to take on the health insurance

companies.

A major project of the American Celiac Disease Alliance (ACDA) is working

with insurance companies to provide reimbursement for dietician services.

Your help is needed to demonstrate there are many individuals with celiac

disease and almost ALL can benefit from the services of a registered

dietician. The ACDA has prepared a brief online survey to find out which

companies are covering dietician services and which are not. The survey

results will be used to educate insurance companies about WHY such services

are so vital.

Please participate in the survey by going to our online advocacy site -

www.capwiz.com/celiac . (Complete the survey just once, please.)

An earlier version of this survey was provided to attendees at the GIG annual

conference and may have been distributed to some support groups. If you

completed that survey, it's ok to take this survey, too.

If your support group has a website, feel free to link to the ACDA Advocacy

site to make it easier for your members to participate in the survey.

While you are at the advocacy site, don't forget to add your name to the

Action-E List to get updates on breaking news affecting the celiac

community.

I just did it like two seconds ago and it worked for me when I clicked on Take Action. I was able to complete the survey with no problems.

I just did the survey also. Make sure you click on the 'take action' in the center of the survey not the top.

This would be great if dieticians were up to snuff on celiac. However, in my experience, they are not very helpful. Advising things such as eating Rice Krispies are acceptable and when questioned about the malt, they have no idea. It was a waste of money for me and my health insurance.

We had the same experience with a Nutritionist (it was a waste of time and money) and it was paid by insurance as I had a note from the Gastro justifying the need for the visit. I only had to pay the normal co insurance.

I just completed the survey with NO problems. I was asked by GI if I wanted to talk to a nutritionist, and I declined. I am self taught about celiac and doing fine. They are NOT up to date on celiac disease.

My insurance did cover a dietician and she wasnt much help. The only thing she did that was helpful was give me the name of the celiac contacts at the health food stores. All other information she gave me I already had, even some was incorrect. And being that she isnt celiac she really couldnt answer alot of questions for me.... the best answers I have found have been on this message board.... this place is a life saver!!!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?
