Just watched the video. Good story, but that gluten free store?! Must've been a set. No such thing in real life. Maaaybe a gluten-free section.

There's a gluten free store in Taylorsville, UT. It's called Against the Grain, and they only carry gluten-free stuff. The owner's not making a ton of money for herself, but she is able to pay her rent and keeps up the store so that when others are diagnosed they've got a resource to help them out as they start the diet. It's great!

Nisla,

I couldn't get it to run from the links posted here. I went to www.cbsnews.com and scrolled down to find the Celiac video.

I tried that, I still couldn't get it to play. Couldn't get ANY of their videos to play. My OS plays videos from Google, YouTube and CNN with no problems...

2nd Storehouse on Indian River Road. Take 64, get off at exit 286b (Indian River East) and turn R at the light (if you turn left you turn into the Founders Inn/Regent). It is before you hit the intersection at Centerville.

Jeff is the owner, and is a super nice guy. Its a small place, but he has lots of great stuff.

Have you tried organicdepot.com? That is a great place too---kind of a co-op for the area. Love it, too.

I love that Farm Fresh carries a bunch of stuff, too...the new one on Independence is wonderful, also.

I'll ask my mom where the gluten free place is in PA. They live outside of Harrisburg, in Mechanicsburg. I want to say the place is near Dillsburg, PA. There was an article in the Harrisburg newspaper about it, which is how she heard about it.

I'm actually in the process of moving, but I'll get the info and PM ya once I have settled....leaving Virginia Beach for Northern VA. Sad to leave the beach.......

Ok. I need glasses. :blink: I missed the "de" in "organicdepot.com". I reread that first paragraph 3 times before I caught it.

Yes, I run Firefox as my primary browser, but often I run into a glitch with videos, espectially from the msn site. IF your computer has a Windows OS, though you should have Internet Explorer even if you're not using it. (Look around, I bet it's there.) There's even a Firefox plugin that you can download that will allow you to right-click and choose (Open this window in IE) It's not necessary though. Just open the IE browser if you're running a Windows OS. I do have that plugin for just such instances...it's convenient. In fact, when I got ready to view this video, I didn't even try from Firefox. Rt-click, poof, I'm in IE; watch the video; close IE; poof I'm back in Firefox.

You can flip back and forth between browsers painlessly. I hope this helps you! The video is GREAT!

There appears to be something wrong with the way the video is embedded in the page. I'm using Firefox and I can't view the video on the website.

HOWEVER

I used their link to send the video to me via email and the resulting link plays fine. Give this a try:

Thanks Laura, I'll check it out. Call me when you come back and we'll get together. Best Wishes on your move and new job.

I was very impressed with the coverage, the whole story. However, my only fear is that all these people will push to get tested and only get the standard blood test and be told they DON'T have it (like I was) and then go on eating gluten.

I was hoping for some mention of the unreliability of the "standard" tests for gluten intolerance.

I e-mailed CBS as well....we all need to do so if we want to see a more comprehensive story on Celiac in the future. A CBS producer today could be working for NBC or ABC tomorrow. Producers get credit if a story gets a lot of feedback, especially if it's good.

Since Dr. Green was in the segment I figured his staff would know how it came about. One of his assistants told me via e-mail, that Dr. LaPook (sp?) works at Columbia too so he apparently knows Dr. Green. So kudos to both Dr. Green and Dr. LaPook for making this happen. I also sent Dr. Green a thank you e-mail to his staff anyway, who promised to pass it on. I said what we need now is Dr. Green and Danna Korn on Oprah...the doc can talk about the medical side of Celiac and Danna can show how the gluten free lifestyle can be tasty and fun as well, besides being healthy. Now if that ever happened, I'd probably faint so I'd have to be taping it - lol!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
