I was interviewed for this piece, the woman spelled my name wrong (everyone does..lol) but overall she did a decent job. She got the medical info from the NIH, which unfortunately doesn't have the current stats but it's still great exposure for our cause. In the actual paper they have colors photos of the salmon, steak sandwich, choc. cake and Redbridge beer mentioned in the story. It's about 1/3 page in the Better Health section.

The author is the same woman who posted a horridly inaccurate blog about Celiac on the ajc.com site and kimjoy on this site posted about here. At least the author now knows more correct info about Celiac and gluten free dining than she did!

You can view the article for free for six more days.

Thanks for sharing this story! :) You are a celebrity :)

By the way, you mention that she didn't use the latest statistics. Which are you referring to?

Good article, Tiffany! Thanks for sharing it with us.

I did read the author's earlier article, and it looks like she's done her homework this time. How exciting to be interviewed :D

Thanks for posting this, perfect timing! I'm in Atlanta!

We ate dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise. We're staying near the Perimeter Mall and I didn't know about Wildfire. I hope they're open for lunch, or else I'll have to talk Adam into staying tomorrow night, too!

I see someone beat me to it about the article in the Atlanta paper. I read it this morning and thought it was good.

Hay Carla welcome to Atlanta. I hope you enjoy your stay.

In the article it says 1 in 133 have Celiac. It's actually 1 in 100. The NIH site is usually not that up to date...they get changes and it literally takes months for them to be keyed in. This is what someone who works for the government told me anyway. Anyway, this woman (who is a nutritionist after all) is trying to learn and for that I'm thankful.

Carla - have a great time here! Didn't you enjoy the weather (until today...lol)? Wildfire is open for lunch but I've been out at meetings so I did not see your note until now. Lunch is absolutely their best value!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
