I was flipping through the channels tonight (Wednesday) and I heard the magic word "gluten". I stopped to see what I was missing, and it was a whole segment on Celiac Disease on this show I've never heard of "Moms on the Move" on PAX... sort of a feel good moms save the world show. They interview a woman who saw 22 doctors before being diagnosed. Check it out Open Original Shared Link.

It was a pretty good segment.

Thank you for sharing this Richard. It was a good article. I read it, instead of listening - he he.

Nice!

Good Housekeeping did an article a few months back. I think it featured Alice Bast as well.

Thank you for sharing!

Here's a link to the featured guests' website. It mentions that celiac disease will get a mention in BOTH Fortune and Money magazines!

Fortune and Money magazines to feature celiac disease

"This is a tremendous opportunity to raise awareness for celiac disease! Time Warner has approached NFCA asking us to work on a joint project for celiac disease for two of their publications, FORTUNE and MONEY magazines.

From time to time, FORTUNE and MONEY include special information features on a specific topic. We are pleased and proud to say that their special sections for the November 13th issue of FORTUNE and the December issue of MONEY will be about celiac disease.

Quite naturally, they have asked us for some direction in securing sponsors for advertisements and supporting text. It is unlikely that the Time Warner sales contacts will know about celiac disease or understand why this section is so important. Our goal is to steer these Time Warner sales folks to the right department or to someone will advocate that an ad be placed in this Special Section.

NFCA is reaching out to the celiac community for any help you can give us by forwarding this information to potential corporate sponsors and/or offering to make introductions. The one-page description of the benefits of advertising in this Special Section of FORTUNE and MONEY shown below gives more information about the program. "

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
