I was flipping through chanals just now since I didn't wish to listen to the president to come accros a Montel show. They told a lady thats what she had (some psycic lady was on there). They said Montel's daughter has celiac. He was infasizing how many things have gluten in it including things most people wouldn't think of.

That's really interesting because I know he was diagnosed with MS several years ago. Wonder if he's been tested for celiac.

I Tivo'd it, too! We get it at 2PM here, so it's probably about over.

I emailed his show last year, and never got a response. :(

I just saw it! Cool!

The only thing is that they didn't really say that gluten is more than just wheat - and Montel kept saying to look for the word "gluten" on wrapper. Siigh, if only it were that easy!

Hey, I'm just happy to get a mention out there.

They have suggested that all with MS should be tested for celiac.

Wow I missed that show!!! Maybe Montel can be a spoke 's person????I wonder to which wife the celiac child belongs to ? Maybe the mother is celiac too or even both considering his ms...... Very interesting indeed...

Hey-we'll take all the publicity we can get!

I think his life has changed since dealing with MS...really has put a spotlight on those who struggle with thir health.

"They have suggested that all with MS should be tested for celiac.

I was dx with Celiac in 2002. I continued having some of the same symptons as before. Such as unsteady gait, fatigue, memory problems and shaking. I was also dx with Ms in 2004. I am blessed with both.

I heard him say his daughter cannot have gluten and then Sylvia Browne said people need to be tested to an intolerance to gluten, that's close to what was said anyway

This is interesting...on this past Wednesday I was looking at his "Predictions for 2007" show. I don't usually watch during the times when he has Sylvia Brown on, but I was flipping through T.V. shows looking for something to watch when I heard her mention that next year it will be proven that food (allergies/intolerances) is a/the major cause of depression . DUH!!! The first thing that popped into my mind was that a lot of people with Celiac already know that! I missed the show where it was mentioned that one of his daughters has Celiac - he really needs to do a show on the topic!!! I wonder why he hasn't...

      Thank you Scott - I can’t think of much that’s changed diet wise but I’ll definitely try to see if any of this works and probiotics are a great idea thank you!

      Hello there @maylynn  I'm a slow healer from the UK.  I sympathise.  Despite three endoscopies which showed nothing wrong, I frequently suffered from a very sore stomach, bloating, feeling queasy.   For some time I was taking the wrong iron supplement (Floradix instead of Floravital - the former has gluten in it, but the latter none).  But I would say even very little iron from an approved source made my stomach sore, I think it can be quite irritating. Perhaps that is an issue for you? Oats (the gluten-free pure ones) were an issue for many years (now fine).   Even though my endoscopy findings did not reflect any problems with healing, or any other issues, I self-diagnosed myself with gastritis as it seemed the feeling of nausea and in my case burning in the stomach pointed to it.  I went onto a gastritis/reflux diet and that really helped.   Have a google - there are tonnes online.  That meant avoiding spicy, greasy food, onions, tomatoes, coffee and alcohol.  (Actually, I don't drink, but I did toast someone during that time at a baptism and it set my stomach on fire.)   Instead of drinking strong coffee, I drank water, camomile tea, warm ginger water... so soothing.  I would not go to bed with a full stomach when things were bad, I would let my stomach rest from say 8pm to 8am, which really helped.   My husband and I then decided to buy a new oven and to buy a new dishwasher - we did need new ones anyway.  The new oven had two compartments, gluten goes in one, gluten free in the other.  The new dishwasher was a Miele which does a full rinse with clean water before washing the dishes.  But before I could afford a new dishwasher I would hand wash the dishes and make sure they were really rinsed well, no residue  (unlike our old dishwasher that was really not rinsing well at all). I stopped eating out for quite a few years - I think this is a biggy - although I would have coffee and soft drinks out. Eventually, my levels normalised.  What of the above was the 'silver bullet'?  I am not sure, but finally I did feel a lot better.  Occasionally I will take an over the counter PPI (omeprazole) or a small dose of Gaviscon, but most of the time I don't need them now. I'm not expecting anyone to go to all these lengths, but it could be that one or two of the tips I give you might work.  Don't give up hope! Cristiana

      Yes, it would make sense to go mostly gluten free, since it gives your troubles.

      Yes, I made an effort to eat extra gluten at least 3 weeks before the endoscopy. I probably ate a some amount in the weeks before that. I had diarrhea, which resolved once I cut back after the endoscopy. So I think it would make sense to go mostly gluten free?

      Yay for the normal biopsy! Thanks for the follow up. Were you eating gluten prior to the endoscopy?
