Rachael Ray Has A New Talk Show Coming Out

[Nantzie]

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!

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. ), 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.

Thanks for the link--I sent in my suggestion, too! (But my computer wouldn't let me copy it so I could post it here )

[IrishKelly]

Yep, i sent a letter too! Hopefully most of us here can take the time to send a letter...even if it's a quick one
