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.

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is...

      It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady...

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing  more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some  medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is not a killer disease, it is a disabling disease as  you have found out. You have time to find some ways to help you recover. Stay on your gluten-free diet and be more careful in avoiding cross contamination . KnittyKitty  and others here can give you advice about avoiding some foods that can give you the gluten auto immune reaction and advice about vitamins and supplement that help celiacs. You may need to take higher doses of Vit. B12  and D3.  About 20 years before a Dr. suggested I might have Celiac disease I had health problems that all other Dr said they could not identify or treat. I was very opposed to alternative providers and treatments. So many people were getting help from a local healer I decided to try that out. It was a little helpful but then, because I had a good education in medical laboraties she gave me a book  to read and what did I think. With great skeptism I started reading and before I was half way through it I began using the methods outlined in the book. Using those herbs and supplements I went from hardly able to work to being able to work almost fulltime. I still use that program. But because I had undiagnosed celiac disease by 10 years later some  of my problems returned and I started to loose weight.    So how does a person find a program that will benefit them? Among the programs you can find online there are many that are snake oil scams and some that will be beneficial. by asking around, as I did. Is there an ND in your area? Do they reccomend that person? If you would like to read about the program I use go to www.drclark.net

She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..
