Too bad the author didn't include rye and barley when defining that gluten is. Actually, it seems like she thinks gluten is interchangeable with wheat. Sometimes they don't do the research..

Still nice to be in the press...I suppose

Grrrrrrrr. That's just making me mad! We need them to say "gluten"!

I think I need to go for a run.

Send a letter to the editor (or whatever it is for a website) so that they can correct this info.

At least the article was about allergies and the 8-must-list allergins and not about celiac disease. The author did miss use the word gluten. <_<

". . .But thanks to the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA), any food produced after January 2006 containing one of the eight most frequent food allergens (in the linked PDF chart) will now use the common name for the allergen in the ingredient list. In other words, a product containing gluten, known to most of us as wheat, will now say "wheat" on its label. . ."

Why should they (CNN) get any more right about this than everything else they report!

I just sent an email.

I invited them to visit our forum to get their facts straight and see what some of our real issues are. Like the fact mainstream drugs, and beauty supplies have gluten they don't tell us about. And how we are demanding change. How soy is in everything we can NOT avoid. And how the word gluten doesn't mean just wheat.

Please write to them and fill their mail box. They need to hear from all of us.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
