Thanks for posting! I saw this earlier today, and while I'm not thrilled about Elizabeth Hasselback... I figure that a LOT of people watch Dr Oz, so this should be a good thing. :)

I am hoping this time, Elizabeth's focus is not on the "gluten-free diet" as being a "diet to lose weight" we shall see how it goes...

I am really upset about missing this episode of Dr. Oz. ( I did not find out the air date until just now!) Did anyone see it? What was it about?

Thanks,

I did barely remind myself. I thought Dr. Oz did a great job, but I grew tired hearing reference to the "G.-free" diet. In fact, even on this site, we have automatic controls not to accept "gluten-free" as legitimate. Spell it out Girl! (can you imagine going into a restaurant and explaining to the waitress, "I'm on the G.-free diet"....um grapefruit?)

I enjoyed hearing from Dr. Peter Greene.

Most any awareness is good, and I should not nit-pick, but......

Elizabeth said all blue cheeses are gone from the diet and said "sorry". How evey untrue.

This research in this field changes so quickly, that two year old information is frequently no longer valid.

Maybe someone can post the video when available. It's well worth the view.

I used today's show as an awareness opportunity... Last week I sent an email to my friends and relatives (son & daughter too) about the the Dr OZ show's Topic of Celiac Disease.. Hopefully my friends and relatives saw the show today, so they can better understand that I can't cheat one day a week to just eat around the bad foods when I'm at their house...

I saw only the first 15 minutes or so, but I did like how Dr. Oz showed how gluten causes an autoimmune (he used that word !) reaction and had animation of the intestine to illustrate. He stressed how serious this condition is, and the consequences that can occur if a Celiac does not stick to the gluten-free diet or is undiagnosed. He talked about symptoms--not just the obvious GI ones, and testing.

I also liked how he and Dr. Green mentioned gluten intolerance.

I'm not an Elizabeth Hasselbeck fan, I'll say that up front, but she was still wrong about blue cheese and instant coffee. She dismissed both completely out of hand. I would rather have seen Dr. Green up on the stage in discussion with Dr. Oz than have him comment from the audience, but all in all I thought it was very good and informative.

I'm out of town at the moment, but it was recorded at home so I can watch the whole thing soon. :)

Does anyone know how to get a copy of the show? I missed it and have contacted the station but not sure if they will respond. If someone recorded it, is there a way to make a copy?

You can go to the Dr. Oz Show website--

The Celiac Disease episode is the ninth one down--you can read about the content there by clicking on the title. I didn't search the entire site, but you may be able to view a video there or get info.

Yes, I totally agree jerseyangel. I would've rather have seen Dr. Green on the stage with Dr. Oz, also. I watched the whole show. I wish they would've went in to more detail & talked about celiac disease for the whole hour, but it was only twenty minutes. There was just so many symptoms they didn't even touch on.

I am glad that they are finally talking about celiac & bringing awareness to the community. People really need to know about this. I don't wish anyone to find out they had celiac disease after ten years of intestinal damage (like myself). They should be diagnosed so much sooner. So at least it is progress.

Long story short, I've been off work on Medical Leave for Carpal Tunnel Release.. During that time, I watched the Dr OZ Show and emailed many concerns about Celiac Disease... I may never know if it helped celiac disease get a spot on the Show, but I'm sure it didn't hurt... Maybe celiac disease could get another, but more in depth spot on the show at a latter date if more people emailed Dr OZ...

I've never watched Dr. Oz's show before so I don't know what a "normal" segment looks like, but the whole thing seemed rushed. I watched the whole show and it all seemed to be rushed, so I'm thinking that's just what he does.

I have no real like or dislike for Elizabeth H. In general, I thought she did OK. I don't like that she gets hyped as an expert and she's not. She's just like the rest of us who make mistakes (like with the coffee) but she's got millions of people listening so she needs to be up-to-date!! The "g.-free" thing is just plain annoying. I thought Dr. Oz promoted gluten-free as a weight loss diet more than Elizabeth H. did (although I think it is in her book somewhere).

I, too, am bummed that I missed this show. I made sure I set aside time to watch it. The Dr. Oz show came on and there was nothing about celiac on it. Can't believe I tuned in on the 11th and not the 10th :(

I just read the article for the Dr. Oz show on Celiac and gluten intolerance. I question this statement from it: "The difference between gluten intolerance and Celiac disease is that gluten intolerance generally does not cause the same kind of intestinal damage, but does lead to uncomfortable abdominal symptoms with the ingestion of gluten."

From almost everything I read, gluten intolerance that isn't celiac can cause way more damage and discomfort thatn just "uncomfortable abdominal symptoms". Does anyone care to comment?

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
