Roanoke Newspaper Article

Celiac article in the Roanoke, Va., newspaper. And there's actually going to be a celiac cooking class here.

My only beef (pun intended) is that one person featured believes she has to avoid grain-fed meat. The author also slipped and used glucose instead of gluten in one place.

Well, on the bright side it is at least a newspaper article that alot of people might see and read and find out they also may have this...... if nothing else all those millions of hypocondriacs appearing at their doctors offices will serve to also educate the doctors and hopefully will find a few that have been undiagnosed.......

On the other hand the couple of errors in knowledge and spelling hopefully will be quickly forgotten, heck here in Nebraska non-grain fed beef is easy to get, but I cant afford it will be starting my own little meat factory soon however (I like to know what my food is eating, my appologies to any vegatarians out there reading this)

It also goes to show how much miss "grass fed beef" knows about what her food is eating...... the "grain" 90% of the commercial beef is eating is CORN ground up and mixed with ground up hay, yes a few essential vitamins and minerals are also added to the mix but for the most part its corn and hay. Not to mention the "grass fed" beef she tries so hard to locate is also given the same minerals and viatmins as the grain fed and some even give them corn to "fatten" them up prior to taking their final ride to your freezer... if only she knew :huh:

I wrote a nice note to the writer thanking her. She's was mortified that glucose got in and admitted that she mixes the two up in her head, even though she plainly knows the difference.

The woman who avoids grain-fed beef was actually one of the first people to help me after I was diagnosed. She works at the local health food store and I was so relieved to find somebody with celiac there. She was the first person to tell me I couldn't eat spelt bread.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
