That's great to get the word out about celiac disease.

She unkike most of us, has her meals prepared for her.

I do like her, but I don't feel she lives her life like the rest of us.

Thanks for letting us know, Patti! :)

I am always glad to have Celiac Disease brought into the limelight. But Elizabeth's delay in "comming out" has dampened my enthusiasm. I would hate to think that she is riding the "gluten free wave" for profit, while we are in the trenches.

ANYWAY....publicity, is publicity, is publicity. ;) Thanks Patti for posting.

I didn't realize she had Celiac. I thought she said she was just sensitive? But then again, I haven't watched the show in a while...

I think they assume she has Celiac, but I believe, never had a positive biopsy because she was gluten free already?

lizard00 Enthusiast

I can relate to that. :rolleyes:

I would also assume that she will share more in her book. :)

From the few videos i've seen her on addressing her celiac's she can eat all the gluten-free products so i'm thinking she has only issues with gluten and not other foods like many of us

yep, would be nice to be able to afford some one to cook our meals for us too.

sure would make like easier

thanks for the thread patti

Yep, as long as they get it right. I'm curious to see how she talks about Celiac disease in her book.

      I think going back to your GI isn't a bad idea - my visits to the GI did not stop following my diagnosis as I had annoying issues on and off for some time.  Thankfully he is a fantastic GI, with  a great sense of humour, so it wasn't a chore to see him again although I'd rather not have had to, obviously!  But I needed my mind to be put at rest as my symptoms didn't seem to go away overnight as I'd hoped they would.  Initially I recall he recommended I went Dairy Free for three weeks, and he told me it would take that time to see an effect.  At that time, even lactose free milk went straight through me, so it is important, I would say, to even avoid that during a Dairy Free trial. My ongoing symptoms were bloating which did respond a bit to that trial.   However, within about 18 months there was a return to a very sore stomach, plus various aches and pains.   It turned out some gluten was sneaking in with my iron supplement (I was buying Floradix instead of Floravital), but I also think the dishwasher, the oven and eating out were contributors, too. Before my numbers normalised (from memory, about eight years!) I had several follow up appointments and a few more tests, but things gradually did get better.  Having read many accounts on this forum over the years, I don't think it is uncommon for symptoms to get a bit worse before getting better, that was certainly the case with me.  Your gut is damaged so you may well have issues digesting other food in the short term. But do try to be as scrupulously gluten free as you can possibly be as a first step, and I'd definitely try a three week Dairy Free trial.   Your villi because they are damaged are not able to create the lactase required to digest dairy at this time so you may well see some improvement if you come off dairy for a while.  Perhaps keeping a food diary of what you eat, where you eat it, whilst a bit onerous to do, will help identify foods that are causing issues.  For a while, apart from oats, I found peas, lentils and soya products hugely aggravating.  Things should calm down.

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  I didn't notice any gluten ingredients in Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage, however it does contain Locust Bean Gum. Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Have you had B12 levels checked?

      For the past few months, I've been taking several supplements (a multi-vitamin, an iron supplement, a vitamin C supplement, and a magnesium supplement), all of which state that they are gluten free on the label.
