Her new talk show is starting in a couple weeks. I was thinking since she is more food oriented, she might be willing to do a show on celiac. She probably has at least heard of it. Lets do a writing campaign to suggest a show on it.

Open Original Shared Link There are a bunch of topics that you can write on. I was thinking the What's On Your Mind one fits well enough.

Maybe someone here will end up on her show! B)

I thought this was a great idea and wrote to her tv show. I'm not looking to make an appearance on her show (I honestly don't need the extra 10 lbs. :lol::lol: ), but I did want to seize this opportunity. So many people love Rachel Ray...this would be an awesome "Celiac Experience". I would like to see someone who does have an "offical" Dx or a child with a Dx appear. Although we all know better, an official Dx would hold more weight on a nationally syndicated talk show.

Here it is.............

I would not only LOVE to see, but truly appreciate, a talk segment as well as a food/cooking segment regarding Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance on your show. Both of these issues are serious and are given LITTLE TO NO MAINSTREAM MEDIA EXPOSURE. Needless to say, they are very important to those of us who either suffer from them or have a loved one who does.

My 3 year-old son is severely gluten intolerant but tested negative for Celiac Disease via bloodwork. We weren't willing to put him through a biopsy as he's only 3 years old. He does, however, have an active auto-immune response to gluten. After approx. 2 years of my son having awful gi symptoms, bleeding diaper rash, not sleeping through the night, having tempertantrums and screaming for no apparent reason (to name a few), we heard about Celiac Disease by mere coincidence. We were amazed by how highly symptomatic he was and decided to removed gluten from his diet.

The results of implementing the gluten-free diet were absolutely amazing. His gi issues and bleeding diaper rash resolved themselves, he started sleeping through the night and had far fewer tantrums...they were more appropriate for a 3 year old! :) If my son accidently ingests gluten, the gi symptoms immediately return as does the awful behavior; I'd scream too if my tummy hurt like that! :) So many of us who are dealing with gluten related issues would love to see main-stream media attention given to this very serious medical condition. Sadly, so many people have no knowledge of it hence the reason so many people suffer for years due to being mis-diagnosed. (We'd also like some help in the kitchen to be perfectly honest with you!!)

I would NEVER put my son back on gluten, but I am grateful I figured out what was wrong with him before he had significant intestinal damage. I ask that you please consider Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance as a topic for your new show. .(www.celiac.com) (www.glutenfreeforum.com)

Lots of luck in your new endeavor, and I look forward to "seeing you" on the 18th.

With her popularity soaring the way it is you would think if she did an episode that we would finally get the recognition we deserve abd the public would see that it is serious and we are not just picky people. Good luck.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
