President Bush Signs Allergen Labeling Bill

Last night, President Bush signed the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA / S. 741) into law.

Every call, letter, meeting, petition, and crayoned picture paid off.

Thanks to you -- the celiac community -- we beat incredible odds and got this bill passed.

Congratulations!!

Amen, Amen, Amen...

I just have to say that I had a rough day at work but that all changed when I came home and found out about this. I think there is going to be a lot of smiling Celiacs today....

      Welcome to the forum, @wellthatsfun! Count your blessings that you were diagnosed so young.  Your boyfriend sounds like a keeper!  Some of us old farts went undiagnosed for a long time and we're a bit more life worn, but there's a wealth of wisdom here.   Do know that many people go through a period of grief after diagnosis that's normal.  Look into the five stages of grief.  You'll adjust, but for now, venting is understandable.    Sending {{{hugs}}}

      It's on this site.  Click in my name.  Look for the pull down menu that says "Activities" and chose "blog".  Oh, there's the link!     You can send personal messages through this site, too, if you like.

      It's part of the malabsorption that occurs with Celiac Disease.  Yes, I lost weight, too.  We can use up our B vitamins quickly when we're ill.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost.  Supplementing can help ensure we're getting the essential vitamins and minerals our body needs to function well.  Many vitamins can be low in the newly diagnosed.  Vitamin D can also be low.  Minerals like iron and magnesium can be low, too.  You'll feel better once you restore the nutrients.

      Thank-you I will ask the doctor about this.  This is all new to me I'm feeling ill every day and losing weight is this part of coeliac?
