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:

It was a great segment! I got teary eyed too. :blink:

We have two gluten free stores here in Mi., Celiac Specialties of Chesterfield and Bel Cibo, in Clawson. They also have eat in tables. Chef Andrew, Bel Cibo, will make you a hot fresh pizza and other entrees to go. :P:D

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!

      Diagnosed Marsh stage 3C in January 2026

      Thanks, at that price it was a complete no brainer. I also went through the reviews and a number of folks with our ailment gave it 5-stars. It won't be here until the end of the month, which may give me enough time to finish the books I have. Also, in an effort to play it safe and see if I start feeling better again...I tossed out my remaining bananas...

      It looks like she has a couple of books that share "The Paleo Approach" in the title. I ordered this one, as the other is a cookbook. The Paleo Approach: Reverse Autoimmune Disease and Heal Your Body Thanks again for the info.

Also, in an effort to play it safe and see if I start feeling better again...I tossed out my remaining bananas and will keep them out of my diet for the next 6-months.  😀 Thank you for sharing your experiences and making recommendations to a noob like me.

      @Known1,  I understand you have had your B12, Folate B 9, and Vitamin D level checked.  However there are other B vitamins that are not routinely checked because blood tests for other B vitamins are terribly unreliable, expensive, or cumbersome to use frequently.  Results can take a long time to get back, delaying proper treatment and risking permanent damage.  It's easiest to supplement and look for health improvement. Blood tests can reflect how much of a certain vitamin was consumed in the past twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Vitamins released by digestion is absorbed by villi, anemone like projections that increase the surface area of the small intestine, and then pass into the blood stream for distribution around the body.  A Marsh score of 3C indicates severe damage to the villi lining the small intestine.  Absorption of nutrients is definitely affected.   Blood tests don't reflect the amount of a vitamin  that is stored inside cells before being used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but have deficiency within cells of organs and tissues.  Tissues and organs will relinquish their stored vitamins into the blood stream in order to keep the brain and heart working while tissues and organs are depleted.   It's possible to have a localized deficiency of Thiamine B1 in different organs which cause the organ to malfunction.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is caused by Thiamine deficiency in the gastrointestinal tract.  Gallbladder dysfunction, thyroid dysfunction, heart attack, and cognitive dysfunction can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.   Most of the B vitamins cannot be stored for very long, maybe six weeks. B12 can be stored for as long as a year in the liver.  So having "normal" B 12 levels does not mean all your other vitamins are "normal" as well.   Thiamine can be stored for eighteen days, however  Thiamine can be depleted within three days.  We have a greater metabolic demand for Thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally stressed or are physically active (work out regularly) or work outdoors (or ride bikes).  Because most B vitamins can become low within a month or two under the best of circumstances, many newly diagnosed feel great on the gluten free diet at first.  After that, they seem to start going downhill.   The nutritional deficits start making themselves known.   Keep in mind that processed gluten free foods are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals to replace nutrients lost in processing like their gluten containing counterparts are.  You have to replace them yourself by taking supplements at least until the villi regrow and absorption improves. The eight B vitamins are water soluble.  They are easily lost if one has diarrhea or constipation or in those with a high Marsh score.  Because they are water soluble, the body can easily excrete excess through the kidneys.  Recommended Daily Amounts are based on experiments done on humans to find the minimum dose required to prevent disease.  Levels for optimal health are much higher.   Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions which are funded by pharmaceutical companies.  Requirements for nutritional education have been reduced to twenty class hours over the course of the seven years of medical school.   Three-day weekend seminars earn ten hours.  Vitamins cannot be patented as they are natural substances, so there is more profit for doctors to prescribe pharmaceuticals.  They are taught to cover symptoms with pharmaceutical bandaids.  They may not look for what caused symptoms to appear in the first place.   Doctors are taught nutritional deficiencies don't occur except in impoverished or drought stricken countries.  This is not accurate.  Nutritional deficiencies can occur if you eat a High Carbohydrate Diet, eat the Standard American Diet, and if you have malabsorption problems as occur with Celiac Disease.   You can check out my blog for the challenges I faced due to vitamin deficiencies that went unrecognized by doctors.   Talk to your doctor and new dietician about supplementing with vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients while your villi are healing.  My favorite Celiac book is The Paleo Approach by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  She explains the AutoImmune Protocol Diet.  It has been shown to reduce inflammation and promote healing in the gastrointestinal tract. Best wishes!
