Cbs Sunday Morning

Did anyone else happen to catch CBS Sunday Morning today? They did about a 5 minute segment called Dangerous Dining.

The first focus was on a family with children with multiple food allergies. About 3.5 minutes in they cut to Chef Ming Tsai of the Blue Ginger in Boston who welcomes all food-allergic people. He has a son with multiple allergies, and he said it's so unfair for people with allergies (intolerances) to not be able to eat out. In his restaurant they focused on a lady who has a "gluten allergy." She explained how her food was cooked in a separate wok so it wouldn't touch other foods and how he made a special sauce just for her.

It was short but oh so sweet! You can read the transcript and see the video here.

I think these small touches in the media are WONDERFUL for us eventhough Celiac wasn't mentioned by name, I bet that's exactly what the "gluten allergy" was really all about. But I don't care. Food intolerances were recognized for their seriousness, and a Chef who's doing the right thing, got positive coverage :)

I saw it, I thought it was well done. I would LOVE to eat at that chef's restaurant. He was soo aware of food allergies. I LOVED the book that he had made for each of his recipes. It highlighted any allergen that was in the recipe so it could be easily identified. Very cool.

I saw it. Great!!! They talked about a wheat or gluten allergy, but in his restaurant all you'd have to worry about is wheat. And the book there has every one of the 8 top allergens in each dish. AND the staff is definitely aware of CC.

Yes, I, too, would love the opportunity to eat in his restaurant. Boston is one of the few areas in this country I haven't traveled. Hmmmmm.....

I went to his website just now, and it says that his shelf and frozen foods can be purchased through Super Targets. Has anyone tried these? With his understanding (and personal interest) in food intolerances/allergies, I would expect his meals to reflect very accurate ingredient labeling. Makes me wonder if there is an untapped source of frozen gluten-free meals waiting for me next time I am in a Super Target??? Does anybody know?

I used that site this a.m. to send an e-mail to the Chef Ming Tsai's Customer Care (the only e-mail addy I could find). I expressed my appreciation for the safe haven he's providing to people with food intolerances that are living in/visiting that area. I also appreciate the example he's setting for other chefs.

Floridanative had a good idea..... We should let CBS know how much we appreciate their recent attention to Celiac and other food intolerances!

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
