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.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease. Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
