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!

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      By Francis M · Posted

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
