A Very Good Segment On Celiac Today........

Just as I was getting ready to leave for work, my sweetie says, "Celica disease is on the news!" It was the best I have seen so far. A local doctor was telling about celiac disease, he was giving the correct info to the public, wasn't afraid to mention the stomach issues, and he even said that maybe as many as 80% of patients that come through his door should be tested. He mentioned the different diseases that many get before they know they should be gluten free, he even mentioned stomach cancer. All in maybe 5 mins. Was very good.

The best part, this man is just 40 mins from me--I may just call for an appointment. This is what we found on www.news12.com website. Do not bother trying to connect to the site, you must have cablevision and your own password from them to use it--that's why we copied and pasted it for you:

Celiac Disease

The only absolutely certain test for celiac is an intestinal biopsy. But many holistic physicians rely on the IgG Elisa and FICA test. It's a relatively recent breakthrough in the field of food allergy testing that uses a simple finger prick to extract blood. Unlike the IgE test which measures immediate reactions, the IgG test measures delayed responses to a food.

Look for a holistic medical doctor or a nutritionally oriented chiropractor:

Dr. Richard Linchitz

Dr. Lenny Izzo

Recommended Books:

The Gluten, Wheat & Dairy Free Cookbook

by Antoinette Savill

Stores selling Gluten Free pastas, breads, cereals, cakes and crackers:

Dr. B Well Naturally

Plainview

Wild By Nature

Huntington, Setauket, and Hampton Bays locations

Whole Foods

Manhasset and Jericho locations

Many small health food stores also carry gluten free pancake mix, pastas...etc.

Yes, he is a holistic physician, yet at this time I would love to have a doctor that knows more than I do about celiac disease. The one who was interviewed was Dr. Richard Linchitz.

      Thanks @Beverage for checking in!  I haven't changed the dogs' food yet.  I'm still working through some of the other issues that I need to remedy (transitioning to an anti-inflammatory diet, being sure to get only gluten-free certified items, and buying some new cookware for my kitchen).  Somewhere after that, I have on my list to try out the dogs on a new dog food, but I haven't gotten there yet.  In the meantime, though, I can definitely see that some of my worst days seem to follow when there's a possibility of gluten cross-contamination (I'm still working to cut waaay down on these instances) OR when I eat anything with dairy/ milk protein in it.  So I think I need to really get a better handle on my day-to-day eating habits to reduce all gluten cross-contamination into my food and also any dairy intake, and then at that point, I think I'll start moving over to the dog food thing.

      Sounds like fun, and I was in Germany a few years ago so you might find these articles helpful:

      I just want to mention that we summarize the latest research on refractory celiac disease here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/refractory-celiac-disease-collagenous-sprue/

      I don't think you have the URL/site address correct, as there is nothing at that site.

      Hello All I am traveling to Germany in October and will be in Berlin, Rothenburg ODT , Salzburg, Fussen and Munich.  I am also driving the northern part of the romantic road with stops in some of the smaller towns along the way.  I would really appreciate any recommendations for gluten-free friendly places, restaurants and any gluten-free beer gardens.  Thanks in advance, Laura
