Atlanta Journal Constitution Blog About Gluten Intolerance

So I found this link, titled, What's Up with 'Gluten-Free Food'?" on the homepage of AJC.com today. It leads to a blog entry "Got Gluten?"by a registered dietitian, of all people, who I felt has a real lack of understanding about gluten intolerance and Celiac Disease. I left a (long, okay very, very looong) response to try to help set the record straight. It would be great if other people on the board could take a moment to do the same (you don't have to drone on like I did). ;)

Grrr. Maybe this just caught me on the wrong day but this really rubbed me the wrong way. :angry:

Yes, yours was a great response. I'm glad you pointed out, among other things, that Celiac Disease is an autoimmune condition.

Just for the record, I was not the "Patti" who authored the first response. :D I'm not looking for a pill!

For what it's worth I added my two cents. What and uneducated artical.

Wow, that woman's blog really offends me. She writes very ill-informed opinions, instead of factual information. Yikes.

One of the posters said that MSG (G - gluten) is also incorrect. MSG may not be very good for anyone, but it has nothing to do with gluten.

JoR, nice letter as well.

Bumping this a bit, in case others didn't get the chance to read the responses to the article.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      Comparing results with different units can be very difficult, or impossible. What are the normal ranges for each result?

      New onset constant gas

      Hi all, I’ve been following a strict gluten-free diet for 1.5 years since I was diagnosed. The last few weeks though I’ve suffered almost continual bloated stomach and flatulence. It literally is almost constant - and I was never this way before. I can’t think of any change to my diet, activity, etc. I’m dying - it’s so uncomfortable and embarrassing to feel l...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      @Levi, How are you doing? Sorry I missed your posts. How's your thyroid? Did your Vitamin D stabilize? Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form. Also, Thiamine...

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      I'm looking for bars or non perishable snacks for my 2 kids. They are 5 and 3. The 3 year old seems sensitive to oats also. We do a lot of long hikes and bike rides. They eat mostly fresh foods but for these rides and hikes we need easy and non perishable. Also that taste good! We do a lot of larabars and freeze dried apples but those are getting old. Any...

It literally is almost constant - and I was never this way before. I can’t think of any change to my diet, activity, etc. I’m dying - it’s so uncomfortable and embarrassing to feel like I have zero control over this. Any ideas? Thank you!

      @Levi, How are you doing?  Sorry I missed your posts.   How's your thyroid?  Did your Vitamin D stabilize?  Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D.  Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form.  Also, Thiamine is needed to active Vitamin D.   Hypothyroidism can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  The thyroid is an organ that uses lots of thiamine.  sometimes thyroid deficiency can also cause hyperthyroidism, or swings between both hyper- and hypo-thyroidism. We need more Thiamine when we're sick with an infection (like Covid) or injured.  We need more Thiamine when we're physically active.  We need more Thiamine when we're emotionally stressed or worried.  Our brain uses the more Thiamine just thinking than our muscles do while running a marathon.  Thiamine is extremely important in fighting infections.  Covid patients and long haulers have found taking Thiamine has improved their survival rate and long term symptoms.   Consider taking a Thiamine supplement like Benfotiamine which has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.  Damaged villi need thiamine to grow back.   Be sure to take a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.  You also need magnesium to keep calcium in the bones.  The thyroid regulates calcium.  A wonky thyroid can lead to reduced bone density.   Remember the B vitamins all work together in concert so adding a B Complex to Benfotiamine and magnesium supplements and Vitamin C would be great in improving absorption of nutrients while we're dealing with celiac disease.
