Rachael Ray Has A New Talk Show Coming Out

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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
