Health Care

I am writing to call everyone to action that uses this site. Michael more is releasing a film at the end of this month called Sicko and we should all go and see it. I have had so many problems getting health care coverage because of preexisting conditions. I am too sick to work and the health bills are piling up. I am sure many of you can relate. There are so many things we can do to make a difference. We can write to our congressmen, the press, and tell our friends. Thank you for your time!

Yes, I must say that here in Canada things are not perfect with the healthcare system...we still have waiting lists and many places have doctor shortages, but when I hear some of the horror stories from American acquaintances who have stayed sick and in pain due to the complete absence of care for them in the States, I think we've got things pretty good. I look forward to seeing Michael Moore's film.

Thank you for posting about this!!! This is so important because our healthcare is SSSOOO BAD!!!! I can't even tell you enough bad stories about medical, etc. Also, I know many people think Michael Moore is a radical, left-winged guy, but according to my brother, he is actually being really central-grounded for this movie. He represents both sides of every view point, so I think it is REALLY IMPORTANT people go and see this. Even for those of you who are lucky enough to have good healthcare...can you support others who aren't as lucky, by going and seeing it? Thank you!! :)

I'm so excite you feel the same way. I've done some research on the film as well and it's apparent he is being less radical. I'm excited to see the film. If you go to his website you can find out ways to help change the health care system for the better. You can also tell your health care horror story and they will use it to convince government officials of the health care crisis we're in!

Well if the US govt runs national healthcare the way they run the Veterans Administration health care we are all in trouble. They cannot run healthcare. Count me out and keep me on a private plan. The Veterans Administration is the FIRST group who misdiagnosed my husband and called him a drug-addict, when he was only sick with celiac. I for one am not impressed with the govt. handling anything to do with health.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      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/
