See how can this be, Patti voted 2 hrs before me....

We were tied with pets at 32 percent, but the MSLO employee cookbook is on the move. The votes have been increasing by several hundred every few seconds as the MSLO employee cookbook has risen from 13 to 18 percent and Allergies mag has dropped down to 28 percent. Must be on some other blog somewhere - or lots of employees voting! :)

Anyway, it was nice for Alexis to come up with the idea and bring it to the forefront. Hopefully it will make mainstream food shows and magazines aware of the market and the need to take special food and diet populations into consideration when planning menus and creating recipes.

Don't forget - the numbers are a percentage, not a tally. If another idea starts getting more votes, eventually, their piece of the pie will get larger, and others will get smaller cause they've all got to add up to 100 percent. :)

I just voted again, and we are beating pets by 1% now. Pets schmets, I say! They have enough magazines! I have 3 computers (1 at work ad 2 at home) and I am voting on each of them every day until 2/7. I think we can really make this happen!

I also just emailed the glutenfreegirl and asked her if she would be willing to put a link on her blog. She gets lots of exposure and that's what we need!

Okay we are still ahead by One percent, will be emailing my mom to have everyone vote for us again!!!!!

I just voted again this morning.

How scientific is this poll, allowing everyone to vote multiple times?

angel-jd1 Community Regular

It now has a picture of Martha voting and checking the polls. At least she will know thereis a calling for this type of magazine from her!!

Also, if you have a few min. read the messages that are posted with the story, many of them are begging for a allergy/intollerance magazine.

I don't think it's scientific at all. It's a popularity contest, and the most votes wins! :lol::rolleyes:

Yeah, and you can vote as often as you want - it's not limited to once per day. Although they might state that - it doesn't prevent you from voting multiple times per day.

The stories are good. I hope this gets some mainstream attention. I love the people who wrote in that, although they do not have food sensitivities, their friends and loved ones do, and they want to know some things to make for their friends/loved ones. Bless them! This shows that there is a need even in mainstream society - not just limited to those with food sensitivities, but all those who know and love us. :P

this is AWESOME - we are ahead!

someone needs to send this to Celiac Chicks, also - - they get TONS of exposure.

<please? anyone? I am SOOOOOO sick presently and don't have the energy/brain power to do it....also Gluten Free Goddess, maybe? >

thanks!

de caps Contributor

I just voted ( about 20+ times).

Just hit the back button and vote over and over again.

It is now up to 32%.

I just voted again and we're ahead by 3%. This could be sooo good for Celiac publicity. Since Celiac is so horribly underdiagnosed, I would hope that they'd have occasional articles ABOUT the disease, along with allergen-free recipes.

I also think it will be HILARIOUS if Martha Stewart puts out a magazine about food intolerances after her daughter was such a cold-hearted witch about gluten-free diets. :angry::lol: :lol:

Wahoo - we're still ahead of the game! :D Tell everyone you know and ask them to tell too! I'm optimistic!!!

It's already on gluten-free goddess - I checked this morning. I also checked all the big yahoogroups, and it's on there too. Just checked celiacchicks and it's there too. If The gluten free girl will get it on there, it will be sooo great. We can do it!

I sent a note to everyone in my address book at home asking people to vote for it, and asking them to forward it on to everyone they know. I have visions of strange people opening their email and saying "Helen - who's colleen and what's a gluten?" :)

Hope you feel better, Dingogirl. A pox on all the foul germies!!!!

      I went to ER on the 30th because I didn't want to wait and saw dr at desk for intake. I went for NOTHING!. ER Dr was very nice but made it seem as if I was a nut case rater than coming in for real issues calmly explaining its staph! Staph,  by look no blood test, no skin test. No looking in my nose and throat was given a prescription for jock cream and some pills ! I made the mistake of saying Im waiting on Infectious disease. She asked how did I get referral and I said I did it online.The next day I checked the status and it was denied! I did get  a referral to the dermatology office i went to last year that over charged me and did a biopsy on me stating inconclusive! I went to another dermatologist and he stated I should see Infectious disease at place i put in referral. With that I contacted that dermatologist and waiting to see if he thinks dermatology or Infectious disease is the route.I do have appointment for dermatology next week.Until then i did purchase Zahler paraGuard advance intestinal  flora support  from Sprouts. Im also very alarmed that the fact celiac isn't addressed properly infact its downplayed. When I had my son tested for HLA-DQ2 and it came out positive because he is eating everything and he is extremely skinny but he isn't dealing with severe diagestive issues because thats all he knows NOW or yet because he is still young 21.I too didn't know any difference when i was that age because thats all we know.Life changes will get him in latter years im afraid because what im dealing with.That scares me.The specialist we went to was only about congestion he is getting.He is getting congestion because he is eating what he isn't supposed too! Zero talk about celiac and HLA-DQ2 positive. Only talk was he is congested because we live in the Valley! They wanted to do surgery! I did write again to our district leader considering when I did call, the guy stated he knew all about celiac. I really wanted to tell him NO YOU DON'T but held my tongue. For my skin sores the cream given didn't do anything because ive also had in past.Ive been putting liquid vitamin c on it and taking vitamins which is making a little difference just with the last few days of doing.

      I have been Gluten Free for 25 years and havent eaten gluten knowingly during that time.   Such a rocky life, I have had issues since I was 16 when physicians stated I needed to see a psychiatrist. I am now 70 years old. I also had Dermatitis herpetiformis. I had negative tests on biopsy, blood test etc but no doctor mentioned that I needed to do a gluten challenge. I went on an elimination diet and found relief on the Dermatitis within a month. I have no doubt that I am celiac and very sensitive now. Now my issue is that I changed physicians due to retirement and he performed a blood test and included a celiac test. I was very upset because I did not request the test and had not been eating gluten for 25 years. Of course the test was negative.  My question - Will this cause me any issues with health treatment if my records now have that I dont have celiac? I like this physician and I am appalled that he performed the test. (he told me his brother is also celiac).  I feel that we are still living in the dark ages. I dont want to cause problems because I rarely need health treatment since I live a fairly healthy lifestyle.  Since I am at this age and been through so much getting to this point am I being unreasonable for being upset? I am not expecting to see this physician for another 2 months.  Need to know if I can expect issues with future treatments. How can a physician not know about the gluten challenge this day and age?

      "Risk free genetically"? Very low risk, actually. But, we are still learning about the genetics of celiac disease. Speaking of milk, some studies show that CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) can damage the small bowel villi like celiac disease does. Also, some meds (NSAIDS, Olmesartan - a blood pressure med) and some infections can also blunt SB villi.

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia! The post you were looking for about omeprazol acting as an anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressant was made (yesterday, I believe) by knitty kitty. Current guidelines for the gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat flour bread) for at least two weeks prior to the day of the procedure. @Ginarwebb, your tTG-IGA >250 would seem to be a pretty high test result, though to be sure of that statement, I would need to see what the lab used for a "normal" range. Do you have that number also? Different labs use different scales. There isn't an industry standard yet. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac blood antibody testing. Your ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY SCR (IGA) W/REFL TO TITER (aka, "EMA") is positive as well. This is an older test, and a relative expensive one, compared to the tTG-IGA which has largely replaced. But the EMA is still ordered by some docs and is highly reliable. That both of them agree in your case and this is strong evidence that you have celiac disease. Concerning the ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY TITER (aka, "total IGA") being high, there are two things of importance. First, it tells us you are not "IGA deficient" such that your tTG-IGA test result is reliable. Second, a high total IGA test score can suggest other health concerns, some of which are serious. It can also mean nothing. Talk to your doctor about this. I would also suggest you research the implications of a high total IGA. In addition to IGA celiac diagnostic tests there are also IGG tests which are handy when total IGA is sub normal.  Here is an article outlining the various tests that can be run for diagnosing celiac disease:
