Some people may have heard the short segment on National Public Radio's Morning Edition news program this morning (Wed. July 21) but for those who didn't, you can listen to the audio on the NPR website through this link:

I know some people will be disappointed that there was not more info and I would've loved more detail and a more in-depth look at how this disease affects people, but because NPR has a big audience I am grateful at least that the doctor interviewed did manage to relay some important information to the general public and I hope it does help raise the level of awareness.

I thought it was a pretty darn good segment seeing as it was under 5 min. long. I was impressed with the amount of information that Dr. Hoffenberg got into the segment. Always a good thing to get information out!!

      Help figuring out stomach pain

      Her poop is totally normal since going gluten free. Once or twice per day.  She eats a lot of fruits and veggies. No juice. She said the squeezing is in the spot where her food goes in her belly. Definitely not dehydrated. She drinks tons of water.

      Confused about my results

      Hurrah for an official diagnosis!   You may want to put the whole family on gluten free, as a preventative measure for the ones not testing positive right now.  Remember, exposure to gluten triggers the Celiac genes your kids have inherited from you.  Keeping them gluten free now, even though they don't test positive right now, can delay triggering Celiac Disease development in them.

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @annirosex, Get your Vitamin D level checked.  Low Vitamin D can mess up menstrual cycles.  Vitamin D at healthy levels (80-100) acts as a hormone and regulates your immune system.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is needed to activate Vitamin D, so adding thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial.

      Thank you! I saw a different provider this week who took one look at all my medical information and declared it was celiac in the first 5 minutes of the appointment. I am still a bit in shock but so very thankful to have an official diagnosis. The doctor told me to have my children tested and one of them came back with a "weak positive" TTG IgA! Not sure what to think about that! This week has been a wild ride. Thankfully this website has such great information! I've been going through all the do's and don't's of cross contact etc.
