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.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
