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...

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
