Keith Olberman is the A-NUMBER ONE REASON my son is gluten-free and no longer miserable. I know I've posted this before, but for those of you who don't know.........

My husband and I were watching MSNBC one night during the Michael Jackson trial. Keith Olberman was auctioning off these ridiculously, stupid-funny tounge depressor puppets he used to depict the trial on a daily basis. (It was so stupid it was funny! :)) Anyway, at the end of one of his shows he mentioned that all proceeds from the E-Bay auction would be donated to one of the Celiac Disease foundations. We had never heard of it before so we googled Celiac Disease. We were truly at a loss for words when we read about it. I vividly remember saying to my husband, "My God, this sounds like Zachary." Fast forward....Zachary has now been 100% gluten-free since March 2006 and has done a complete 180. He doesn't have a single, solitary god-awful symptom that he suffered from for two years and his behavior is that of a typical 3 1/2 year-old. Talk about being at the right place at the right time....

**PS--The "highly respected" pediatric GI we took Zachary to *emphatically* told us his issues had "nothing to do with his diet" and the relationship to removing gluten and his behavior was "purely coincidental". :huh: He felt we were probably givng him too much fiber (whole grains) and it was probably making him gassy/crampy and giving him diarreah.

      Oh my......will the danger never end? It has seemed like no matter what we do or have done the odds were/are against us. Next they'll tell us that just looking at wheat will be dangerous. Oh well....hang in there.

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      Our understanding of that is very incomplete at this time. There are theories and it seems to involve multiple factors. We know there is a genetic component but that is far from the total answer since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only 1% actually does. Other suspects are the indiscriminate use of antibiotics...

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
