That's great! Gonna set the DVR :)

Judy, how do you have your Google Alerts set so that you received this? I just started Google Alerts today, and I think I set it for keyword: Celiac, and "news" as the media I am interested in.

Thanks for the info!

I've got the vcr set to record it... Hubby said I should e-mail them and ask about the conspiracy theory of since all wheat is technically genetically modified and the Catholic church only accepts wheat in the host, is the Catholic church behind keeping Celiac under wraps??? LOL...

I told him, uh no... that's just silly...

I thought they did a pretty good job - I'm happy the CNN news anchor has Celiac!

(Not happy that she has it, but happy that someone in the media spotlight came forward and talked about their own experiences!)

That was great!!! My husband just happens to be home today, and he thought so, too.

I love how Heidi said that now they will scream it out so people will know about this. Wow :D

just watched and it was good. sounds like she might be doing more on this since she has it herself.

wish they'd addressed the 'over-weight' w/ celiac part.

Lisa, were there to be additional segments you know about?

I do think the picture of the third world child was dramatically unnecessary...I wish they'd focused more on all the different symptoms and how they manifest themselves. But I'm glad they talked about misdiagnosis and how slack this country's physicians are.

Skipping class today was totally worth it to hear about Celiacs on a major news network! :P

This was a very refreshing experience. It seemed to me that Heide and her physician are determined to bring this to the public's attention (and keep it there!). I was so gratified that he had the statistics about how many of us are misdiagnosed (and for so many years!). It was also important that they focussed on the damage that can be done by not being compliant. Bravo to CNN!

It was good, any publicity is good, but Peter Green is one that still sticks to the biopsy as gold standard, AND he stated equivocally that if you get hives from gluten you can't have Celiac, that is just not true. Also, I wish they had done more about the obesity aspect.

Wow!!! The only thing I didn't like was Dr. Green saying it was the gluten-free diet was difficult. I don't think it is at all, as long as you eat at home. I guess it might be different for someone like the anchorwoman, who I"m sure was used to eating out quite a lot.

Maybe we can get her to do a segment in the future on all the yummy gluten-free foods out there.

Other than that, I thought it was amazing.

Don't think so Judy, I just thought it might get bumped for this live news conference.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
