Cooking Show

Hey, everyone! I used to get satellite and loved the cooking channel. Why don't the gluten-free flour companies or such sponsor a gluten-free cooking show?! I think one would very very much appreciated and welcomed! I know I'd feel that way--to have it "legitimatized" and out in the open (so non-gluten-free folks don't think it's just "health kick" thing!!) Has it been tried already or is there one and I don't know about it (we are thinking about getting satellite again). thanks!!

One which I saw advertised on this site is:

I don't know how it's doing though, and haven't seen it.

Thanks so much for the link! Their recipe for Mystery CHocolate Cake looks amazing. I don't think their show will get picked up by Food Network unless they make a lot of production changes, though--they talk to the "audience" as though the "audience" were a bunch of pre-schoolers rather than competent adults--very annoying!

oh my watching that was slightly painful. i get why they tell people to read labels and stuff since it is partly about educating those who don't suffer from celiac but...do they have to be so cheesy? it would be really awesome to see a good and fun gluten-free cooking show on the food network. i am also a HUGE food channel fan! i wonder how someone goes about pitching the idea to the food channel bigwigs??

Im sure they could get a show on there if a celiac foundation approaches them with the idea. I agree that it should be more of an entertaining show than the lonk above. They could even have travel sections in the show where the host goes around to differant gluten free resturants or factories and picks up on cooking techniques and recipes. I think it would be great to bring about celiac awareness, I am shocked at the amount of people in this country that have never heard of gluten intolerance!!! Theres no reason why it shouldnt be as well known as something like lactose intolerance. I was going to go into culinary arts and study nutition when I was deciding on what to do for college, now I'm woshing that I stuck with that idea!!!! I would have loved to make a celiac cooking show.

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
