I've contacted a company named Awareness-Depot, they got all kinds of stuff for Breastcancer, Childabsue, you name it- but guess what, nothihng aobut Celiac desease. since aobut on in 133ericans has Celiac but only one in 5000 gets diagnosed in his life time, knowing what this desease can do ect., I do think things like Wristband are a cool thing. Yes, they are out there but what I actually look for are cool car-magnets! I contacted that company asking if they got anything for/aboout Celiac! They answered as of this time not but they will seriously consider it and if I got any suggestions! Well, wristbands are out there but I actually want some supercool carmagnets for example, how many times have you read other poeples stickers on the car while waiting behind them in the traffic? since they are open for stuff and willing to accomodate I'd like to send them some input back as requested!

Any ideas for cool sayings on Car-Magnets for / about/against Celiac you'd buy too- stuff you'd stick on your car too ect.! Letyour phantasie run wild! I got some ideas but not so special or cool!

Celiac-Desease- one in 133 Americans has it, you too?

Celiac-the silent devil in your gut!

We are Gluten-free, we live life!

Gluten- who needs that?

Gluten- you are busted!

That's a great idea. Most people have never heard of Celiac disease and this would be a great way to help others become aware of it. Can you have two lines?

Bloated?

Maybe one of those red "no" circles with the bar going across a bunch of wheat.

Celiacs go against the grain.

Got more gas than your car? Think Celiac.

Just say NO to gluten.

Celiac on board.

I'm gluten-free!

And my body thanks me for it.

Yeah, so they're not all winners. Will put more thought into this once the coffee has kicked in.

There are evidently some out there. Some local group members attended a CSA conference and brought back some green ribbon style car magnets.

"Got more gas than your car? Think Celiac."

I vote for this one! Now if we could just think of a way to turn all of that "self-produced gas" into some sort of bio-fuel and capitalize in it . . . . . :lol:

The University of Maryland's Center for Celiac Research (Dr. Fasano's group) sells bracelets and magnetic ribbons on their website (Open Original Shared Link). Maybe other groups do as well.

Bumper stickers would be nice, too. Especially if some/all of the proceeds were to go to research, or kids' camps, etc.

If we can't find them we may be able to make them up ourselves. I know there is at least one place in my small city where they make those advertising things you can put on your car, the stuff made with a plastic that just sticks there. I love the "Got more gas than your car? Think Celiac" perhaps an after Xmas project will be to see if I can make some up and where. If I find a way cheap and easy I'll let you all know.

A couple more:

CFS FIBRO MIGRAINES ARTHRITIS??? Check for CELIAC

Existing on Pills? Try living without gluten

Fantastic idea!

I'd love to see something that competes with all the drug ads we are inundated with. You know, how they show all these people's tummies, and say something like, "bloating? ask your doctor for a prescription for ________."

Well, why not one that says,

"Tired of paying for all those prescriptions that are supposed to help your tummy problems, joint pain, exhaustion? Notice that they don't fix what's CAUSING them, they just--hopefully-- help the symptoms a little bit? You might have celiac disease---the easiest and cheapest disease in the world to FIX-- without buying a thing!

for more info, go to WWW.CELIAC.COM"

The problem is, the pharm industry pays millions for marketing and advertising. We need to convince newspapers and magazines to run articles or ads or whatever to increase awareness not just of the existence of celiac, but of the enormous amount of damage the medical system is doing to people with celiac, those who are being told to take medicine after medicine but are never given a clue that their problems might be caused by what they're eating.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
