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.

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...

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

      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.

      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.
