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.

      Global Experts Recommend Gluten Reference Dose: What It Means for Celiac Safety (+Video)

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
