I was just watching the CBS evening news and there was a teaser for a story coming on tomorrow night. The teaser went something like this: this whole family has a disease but none of them knew it until little Emily got sick. It's thought a million Americans have it but most of them don't know it yet (end of tease). Chills went down my spine and I usually have excellent instincts so I think the story may be about Celiac. I don't even watch the CBS news so it was a fluke that I had it on. I can't be home tomorrow to watch but I'm going to tape the whole show tomorrow night, just in case I'm right. I'll post back if I'm right or wrong.

Flukes can happen for a reason...we just happened to be watching MSNBC when Keith Olberman *briefly* mentioned Celiac Disease and put up a website address. We had never heard of it and decided to look it up. Much to our suprise (and shock) it was as if we were reading about our son. We now had a name for what was wrong with him and, better yet, we now had a way to help him get better! :D

I'll be watching, too! How awesome would that be??

Isn't October Celiac Awareness Month? That could make it newsworthy right now.

cbs evening news...national news usually comes on at 6:30 (after the 6:00pm local news) Some places it comes on at 7 (those who have full one hour 6:00 local news...but usually that is only in bigger markets)

Well my instincts didn't let me down. Dr. Green had one of his staffers post a listserv notice that CBS will do a story tonight about Celiac on the evening news. I doubt such a segment will be able to be compreshensive but at this point, any publicity is good publicity in my view.

Thank GOD Katie Couric is so in touch with her colon! I haven't watched the CBS evening news since she's been on (I don't generally watch the news dinner/kids time) but I'll make a point to try tonight!

I am trying to find the "listserv" notice that 'floridanative' was referring to. Is it something that can be viewed?

CBS Evening News with Katie Couric will be featuring a segment on celiac disease with Dr. Peter Green tonight at 6:30 pm Eastern Standard Time. Tune in!

Above is just one of the listserv posts about the program tonight. Another group posted about it as well.

par18 - listserv is something you have to subscribe to. It was originally started at John Hopkins University. For tips about dining out most anywhere in the world, this is the site I use. It is an invaluable site for me and it's free.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
