Yeah, usually just send them an email that says "I want to subscribe"

And I got an email about it too! I am so watching it! It comes on at 5:30 here (Texas). You can check at www.tvguide.com for your local time/channel!

A Listserv is like a newsgroup or forum, but all communication is done via email. Members become part of the group, and posts are sent to all members via email.

Wow! I thought it was very good. They put a lot of info into the few minute segment. :)

Kinda strange seeing it on TV like that....

Good gosh you guy are fast.

It was the best coverage on national news that we have ever gotten. I CERTAINLY am no fan of Katie Couric, but someone put it out there and bless their hearts.

COOL! I thought they did a good job! And of course anything with Dr. Peter Green RULES!

Lisa--I feel the same way! After all the letters and emails we have sent over the months, it's just so gratifying to see something like that.

I like how the doctor said that when he was in med school, they were taught Celiac was a rare disease! He wasn't all that old, either ;)

Very good...but i wish it would've been alot longer, i feel like there were so many other symptoms they could've mentioned. But, i am super thankful they did a segment on us :D

omg... YOU guys made this happen with your e-mails? omg... you guys are HEROS!

Who knows what ultimately got them to do it--I just know that a lot of us have writen to every news outlet that we could think of--maybe someone finally listened :D

YIPPEE!! I thought the segment was great! I honestly didn't expect it to be much longer than a 5 minute segment. They touched upon a lot in a brief amount of time. In fairness to them, they *did* give Celiac Disease a major boost in mainstream media and couldn't possibly get into all of the symptoms and related issues in a "segment". Kudos to CBS for putting it out there.

Does anyone else find Katie Couric to be stiff and have little affect?? :huh:

THAT WAS THE BEST SEGMENT ON CELIAC I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!

I'm so glad they didn't push the biopsy or that all symptoms are GI. AWESOME!!! :D

I didn't see it!!! I was at a cubscout meeting with my son, and just got home!!!

DRATS!!!

I saw Dr. Green in Stanford, he was awesome....very funny, but he DID push the biopsy at that point. I'm kind of surprised to read that he didn't.

I wish I could have seen it. Heading to see if I can find a replay of it on the cbs website.....

I haven't seen it yet, but I went to the website and they have an article. Not sure if this is a transcript or not.

Floridian,

Actually, for a national news segment (think, 30 min, minus commercials...what, maybe 22 min?) I was actually REALLY impressed that it got as much time as it did (lead in from Katie, story, then 'discussion'). My husband works in the news business so I pay more attention to that type of stuff....so I must say, I was impressed that they gave it so much time! I was afraid it was going to be a 20 second segment on a research study or something.

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.

It was so on the mark I was actually starting to get tears in my eyes!

When you click on the link, it is the transcript, BUT, on the right hand side, you can click to play the WHOLE story. It was a 3:42 segment. YAY

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free...

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

      By Anne G · Posted

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      By HAUS · Posted

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
