What is the current percentage?

I voted this morning but we were still way ahead.

We have 57% of the vote as of 6:48 AM PST. That is approximately 331,000 of the 580,700 that have been cast. Pets have just under 156,800, less than half of what we have. I think we are still OK! ;)

But keep voting! Don't slack off! :o:P:D

I'm not sure we should be voting multiple times... Seems a tad skewed...

I love it. B) I've voted from every computer in our building (on a daily basis) ours at home and I keep bugging everyone I know to go vote again and again. I think my friends are going to hate me! :unsure:

Yeah, It's great for them to see there's an interest in it, but it won't do much good if they won't keep publishing it because not enough people buy it.

My guess is if they did do this they would publish it as a special issue, maybe twice a year. Or possibly even have it as a supplemental, polybagged with one of their other relevant publications. I think it would take a lot more than voting on a blog to convince them to spend millions of dollars to do this. None the less... I'm voting :)

Wouldn't you buy it if it was an outstanding magazine and delivered on time...........plus, you could probably get it at boarders or other bookstores.

I've had so much trouble getting those other 2 magazines that have been talked about on the forum.

I wouldn't be voting or spending so much time spreading the word if i wasn't going to support it.........THAT'S ASSUMING IT'S A OUTSTANDING ACCURATE MAGAZINE........WHICH I WOULD ASSUME IT WOULD BE WITH HER RESOURCES.

That's why I kind of wish they would have done the voting differently, 1 vote per person, in order to get an accurate percentage for each market, interest group.

I would purchase it but probably at a bookstore first to see what the actual content is.

Yeah, that's true. A person who prefers one of the other ideas might vote for it once, but I doubt they would be passionate enough about it to vote multiple times. (I mean, how many people would desperately beg their friends to vote for an online Martha Stewart scrapbook, even if they might buy it later? LOL)

You have a point about the passion. I LOVE scrapbooking but I wouldn't keep voting for it. I LOVE my animals but I'm not looking for another pampered pup gadget. I LOVE decorating but the market is already overloaded...but I NEED more allergy resources. I am passionate about that. I only know of 1 other allergy mag with recipes out there and they have been down a while. Many of the allergy cookbooks are not that impressive - I know I wouldn't serve guests most of those meals.

Based on Martha's reputation I must assume a publication she would put out would have meals I could serve to our "normal diet" guests. I would assume it wouldn't be "frumpy" as some of the other guides are. I am passionate about getting my hands on something like that.

I would hope the magazine would have a lot of substantial, cutting-edge information and not just glitzy ads. I recently subscribed to Martha Stewart Living and was extremely disappointed with the first issue I received. It has very little practical, useable content and a TON of ads.

I agree about the difficulty getting the other two allergy magazines. I have literally never seen either of them in any of the major bookstores or grocery stores in my area. I would also hope that a new magazine would spend time on multiple allergy issues as well as just gluten. There are so many cookbooks and gluten free publications that I can't use at all.

I doubt it will happen, but it would also be great if they could swing a monthly publication. Maybe there's not that much to say, but quarterly or twice a year is just too sparse to be any fun.

I was thinking for the past couple of days that to prove our points we would all not only need to subscribe, but then pass each issue on to "someone who needs it" :ph34r: such as a doctor, dentist, restaurant manager, major food manufacturer, grocery store, school, neighbor, etc.

If there are no magazine sales, there will be no magazine.

I think it is worth voting and at least getting the chance to see what it would be like. After all, the girl who pitched the idea was a Celiac herself. From my experience it can't be any worse then the photoless black and white, $40 ingredient Gluten Free books I have seen. Maybe if those who are voting support it and write to the company with ideas and tips it will make a difference. And, I don't think a company such as Martha Stewart Living would produce something unprofitable or unfounded. The best in the industry would be creating a magazine like this. I agree too, with giving it to loved ones and professionals. Besides 1 in 133, that is a great deal, and that is just Celiac, and if there is one thing I have found, it is that we are used to digging for good info. and resources, so people will find it. Not to mention product lines and food suppliers cannot keep up with the demand for organic lines, lactose free lines, healthy living lines, the whole industry is moving in this direction.

Did my daily vote at 5 AM today and have to report that the site no longer gives a percentage of each category of votes....somehow someway they must be on this forum noticing that we're talking about the vote percentages and they took that part of their site.....

As to the pets - there are a couple of great magazines already out there: Dog Fancy and Cat Fancy magazines which do an excellent job already. I wonder if there are more gluten free people than pets in this country?

It didn't work correctly for me this morning. It use to show me the percentages, this morning it just said, thank you for voting.

I agree with the post above, there are a lot of great animal magazines out there already and the AKC breed organizations often have their own specific breed magazine. Also from a business standpoint I don't believe the number of dog and cat owners is growing in any great way, I tend to think its fairly steady. However the number of people with food issues is growing hugely, every single day (I'm sorry to say). So you'd have a growing audience with this one and if you look at the numbers for food issues, allergies, diseases involving special diets, wow its a huge market share.

Just my thoughts!

Susan

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
