My mother and I watched it together and we both cracked up when they showed the family eating those sad, flat little cupcakes! I remember baking things that looked like that. :lol: Someone send that woman some gluten-free baking mix, stat!

Good show. Lots of coverage. . .get ready for the onslaught of newbies. ;)

The CBS News Story was AWESOME!!!!!!!! My prayers were answered!!! Finally, my friends and family don't think I'm nuts!! I had chills up my spine and tears rolling down my cheeks. It was serile. My sons results haven't come back from Enterolab yet, but he has responded to the gluten free diet. He had terrible stomach aches, vomitting, acid reflux, horrible mouth sores, and it was starting to affect him mentally. He couldn't go to sleep at night and nightly woke up with terrible stomach pains and sometimes vomitting. We have been doctoring for 6 months with us, which I know is short in comparison to some people's stories. Thank God I had access to a person who has family members who are gluten intolerant and access to tons of great info on the internet including this site!! Going gluten free was our last resort. The medical community has laughed in my face, basically telling me I'm crazy. I am concvinced I know more about it than any doctor in this area. The first dr. ordered the wrong test and the second ordered the right one when my son had already been gluten free for a month. No one understands the terrible alone, abandoned feeling unless you've gone through it. Thank God for the news story. Now people can see it's not just kids who are withering away that suffer from this. The mother basically diagnosed the daughter and she was CLASSIC Celiac. All I can say is I hope the right people were watching!! The doctors!!! I am so thrilled and have been in a depression over this for the last week. I am so happy!!! Let's try for Oprah now!!!! I have emailed her on this topic and I think there is power in numbers!! :)

I sat here with my hubby watching it. I thought it was great. I only hope that people I know were also watching. I forgot about the newbie aspect of the broadcast LOL. Almost 4 minutes in prime time is awesome.

You guys can watch that portion of the newscast on www.cbsnews.com. Wow, was it good!

I watched it with my mom and her hubby....I thought it would be longer but I thought it was very good regardless. I was hoping my moms hubby was paying attention because I think he might have Celiac. I was happy with the info they provided ...mostly the fact they pointed out that its common, that 95% arent diagnosed and that symptoms can vary. I think alot of people might get themselves diagnosed just from seeing a short segment like that.

I agree. The fact that the medical correspondent specifically stated that it's no longer looked at as a disease specifically related to horrific gi symptoms was clutch! I loved the fact that they listed associated symptoms that weren't specific to gi problems. I thought it was great that they mentioned neurological symptoms and reccurent miscarriages.

Glad I got on this thread tonight and read about the CBS celiac story, that was great to have on National TV!!

I did not see it because I was so tired after dental work today that I went to sleep during that time. Do not want to say I nap because of being older, I blame it onto being Celiac. HA-HA Such 'Good' publicity for "Celiac disease". Am I a newbie on here? Evening all!! evie

Linda,

Actually, surprisingly enough, there are gluten free stores. A family opened one in Pennsylvania, about 20 minutes from my parents house. Everything in their store is gluten free---they opened it because people in their family were diagnosed with Celiac. There is one in Virginia Beach, and he carries probably 90% gluten free stuff (independently owned, and his family has two people with Celiac).

So, stranger things have happened :)

Hi Laura, Where are the stores located? I think there is a health food store close to Cbn - is that it?

Also I will be going to Pa. later this month. Where is that one located? Thanks :)

I sit corrected. I've never seen a whole store, but certainly sections. In fact the health food store kindly labels celiac friendly stuff with a red dot sticker and the words "celiac ok". I wonder where the story originated.

For everyone who couldn't get the video to play I had to click a litte circle next to the file type I wanted to play. There was a commercial first. <_<

Linda,

There was a store in my area that was all gluten free. It was amazing!! Unfortunately it recently closed down. :(

OK, I finally got to watch it. Maybe shutting down my computer last night helped. I thought it was a good piece. I emailed my mom the video link. She's on vacation and I doubt she would have seen it.

We have a gluten free store in Vancouver WA called Lingonberries.

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ? I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet. Rebound muscle pain so intense ...

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️
