Elisabeth Hasselbeck is on the cover looking great.

In the article she mentions celiac disease but, calls it an "ALLERGY" to

wheat, rye, barlety, and oats. Too bad, she could have gotten the

correct information out to the public.

One does have to wonder why she wouldn't have explained it correctly. If it's an allergy why not call it that, or at least say an intolerance to gluten. She has all these people's attention...

i guess i kind of understand why she calls it an allergy. i often use the term allergy when explaining it to people, because they get bored if i go into a long explanation of how it's actually an intolerance....just to simplify things, i will say that i'm severely allergic to it and will become physically ill if i eat any. most people can understand/relate to allergies more easily. dunno, just my thoughts ;)

my daughter's ped gi says my baby doesn't have Celiac but so obviously has an allergy/intolerance to wheat, rye, barley, and oats. ??? maybe Elizabeth gets the same crap as the rest of us ....

How much flak will I get for saying she's coming off as an airhead, again ?

Think of all the women who look lumpy in a bikini but who can explain the difference between food intolerances, food allergies, gluten intolerance, auto immune reactions, and celiac disease ?

:blink:

No "flak" but I'd prefer not to think about people who look lumpy, male or female. :P

I too was disappointed in her article. I saw it online and hoped that the print version would have more information regarding her "diet" that she followed to lose her weight. It was very basic and didn't really have anything we already don't know. I shouldn't have expected much more but I guess I was hoping for some surprises that might be useful.

She's not eating anything I don't already. And I don't have to pay for high priced trainers!

Thank goodness for that!

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
