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!

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
