Just finished reading it yesterday! I really enjoyed it, she is very honest and open. There is a list of resources and brand websites that was nice. The back cover says "Elisabeth Hasselbeck brings gluten-free living into the spotlight as the next big movement in health and wellness". It's nice to have someone in the "spotlight" being vocal for celiac!

The gluten-free Diet released early and I skimmed through it tonight at Barnes and Noble. Seems like it is mainly for the newly diagnosed. In the online resouces, she listed one gluten free forum as www.glutenfreeforum.com, which leads you to this website! She says she reads this forum.

I saw her on Good Morning America this morning as I was flippin' through the channels!

YAY!!!

She admitted that she, too, self-diagnosed and was then confirmed by a doctor.

I'll definitely check out her book.

I don't watch The View regularly, but I've seen her mention it on there, most often during food segments. For instance, one time Whoopi was doing a segment about new food products and one thing was a gluten-free pizza. Elisabeth heard "gluten-free", swooped in from stage left, grabbed up the plate and ran off with it. I fell out!

I had a few friends call me with the news of this book...a couple of the folks that called me were the type that didn't really understand that I have an actual disease and didn't just decide to try eating gluten-free to see if I get better.

Way to go Elisabeth Hasselbeck! Thanks for getting the word out. :D

I saw the Good Morning America segment and really like the way EH explained things. She was brief but clear.

I saw an interview last night on Acess Hollywood, with her talking about the book. I went and picked it up today, still being new to celiac disease (found out in Jan.). The chapter about make up was a big seller.

My copy just got delivered to my house yesterday, and I poured over it for about an hour. It really is quite similar to Dr. Peter Green's Celiac: A Hidden Epidemic, probably because he helped :) But it's nice to have a personal spin on it though, and the added sections on makeup and tips on going out, dinner parties, etc.

Overall, I think it's a keeper! Atleast it's capturing the public's interest!

I picked up the book last week and was happy to read it. I love that it was written in plain language, I have been diagnosed for about a year and still didn't understand half of what was being explained in other books. I related to her stories and about her self diagnosing. I hadn't felt well in a long time, I was tired of hearing every excuse under the sun for my stomach and skin problems. I would recommend this book to anyone out there no matter how long they have been diagnosed.

Hello everyone,

I'm new here to this forum and just getting around to really studying up on Celiac and gluten free after finding out I'm highly allergic to wheat/gluten/barley/rye in 2005. I was in DENIAL for years and very stubborn like Elisabeth Hasselbeck talks about in her new book!

My chiropractor/naturapathic doc finally said that if I do not stop eating gluten I was gonna die! So I started to really try and stop eating it and thought I was doing great.

Thing is Gluten is in EVERYTHING!!!! hahaha! It is in many of the health products too that I have been taking for years so it's no wonder I'm so sick! I thought I was doing something good for my health and turns out it's hidden and sneaky and there's a big reason for it too. Not going to go into that here.

Suffice it to say I recently found out about Hasselbeck's book when she was on CNN and I ran right to my computer and ordered it on (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned)

Glad I did too because this book is saving my life ladies and gentleman! No joke!

The list of health issues I have related to gluten (which is actually been poison to my body for YEARS!) is numerous!

Thyroid issues, joint and pain issues, muscle cramping, severe skin itching and break outs around my arms, knees and buttocks like Elisabeth says in the book, IBS irritable bowel, swollen eye lids, sores in mouth, and on and on!

I'm finally drug free and taking all natural medicines for my thyroid and everything I'm taking is gluten and wheat free from my chiropractors. They do blood work every 4 to 6 weeks to keep tabs on that issue.

Now I'm helping to spread the word about this issue because 1 in 133 have it and 97% or so do not even know! Most people have not even heard of it yet they suffer from these other health issues given another diagnosis so drugs can be prescribed.

There's no drug for Celiac or gluten insensitivity. It's all diet related so no research is going to be done by the drug companies! It's quite frustrating and up to US to get the word out and people like Elisabeth Hasselbeck are helping to do so in a big way!

So spread the word about her book. I'm working on a blog and Squiddo lens too and posting information on my personal website and on a mission!

Yes of course it's more expensive to eat more healthy and buying gluten-free is also more expensive but hey what is your health worth to you? We cannot do a whole lot without it including making a living!!!

Look at people like Farrah Fawcett? She's got millions and she's dying of cancer! One of her great loves has been BAKING!

Best to you all in living gluten free!

Sue

Please forgive me for posting that message with my website in the sig line. I have been online working from home for twelve years and just so used to putting in a sig line with my personal website that's habit! haha!

Just received a personal message here from someone and not sure where to find personal messages but see he or she has already removed the website link. I will remove it in my sig

line.

Appreciate the heads up! Just wanting to spread the word about Living Gluten Free to as many people as we can so that more and more options are open to us all! It's frustraing out there living with this and people shaking their heads with that puzzled look on their face saying what's GLUTEN??? Especially when going out to eat!!!

i'm absolutely dumbfounded that this book is #4 on the ny times best seller list (hardcover advice category)

i think the publicity is GREAT!

the more people who are aware of this, the better i can eat!!

i still don't understand why so many people are buying it, but no matter - i'm psyched

(and waiting for my mom to finish reading it before i start it)

thank you Elizabeth! thank you! thank you! thank you!!!

( I know you (or your people) are reading this)

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
