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.

I agree that this was a good piece! And I cried too. Thank goodness that people will get this message. I am excited to send it to my parents, who so far have been to stuborn to get tested. Taylor

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
