As we all know Bette Hagman was an Icon in the Celiac World. She is the reason for so many wonderful breakthroughs in cooking, and baking. Sadly she has passed no doubtedly to heaven for all she's done for this community. In rememberance of her I ask that on friday 08/24/2007, that's this friday, we should all wear something green, or a celiac/gluten free tee-shirt. Lets take a moment and let her passing be silently remembered for what she stood for awareness and a better life for those with Celiac. Please pass this along and ask your friends/family to do the same.

If you don't think it is too rude of me to ask, what disease did she die from? I must have missed discussions regarding her on this board. Was she ill a long time, or was this something that came on recently? Thanks for filling me in. Barbara

Barbara,

I don't know--I went to Celiac Central, and there was nothing at all about it.

Hopefully someone will be able to fill us in :)

Bette had a pretty severe stroke a while back and don't think she ever competely recovered from that. Don't know the actual cause of death but she was in her 80s.

I've just bought some of her books, and found out that she lived in my general vicinity! I'm sad to hear she has passed, and will wear green on Friday.

I will definitely be wearing green on Friday. Her "The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread" was my first gluten-free cookbook and her spirit of adventure in the gluten-free kitchen is one that will stay with me, hopefully forever. I have to ask, is the color green from Dr. Peter Green, or the Irish, or something else? I just like to know these things...it really isn't all that important.

TIA,

Margaret

Green is the color for celiac awareness. Just like pink is for breast cancer, yellow for cancer etc. It is used for awareness ribbons, bracelets, t-shirts etc.

I found it and it's on! A quick Google shows that it's from the University of Maryland's Center For Celiac Research.

I love the barefoot imprints on it and also your avatar, that's one long-legged kitty and some beeeyutiful colors.

Keep us posted - I think I'd bring my own contrast with me (not quite sure what that is, but heck, I don't trust too many peeps with my food).

Margaret :)

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
