I write for my local paper, and I was approached to write an article about Gluten and Celiac disease. I think it's a great idea and I am excited to get some more gluten-free information out there. But I wanted to turn here first to find out: if you could open your local paper right now, what would you like to read concerning Gluten and Celiac disease? Would you want to learn some new recipies? Or places to eat out locally? Or maybe you just want to learn a little more about Celiac in general. I can pretty much talk about anything, I have been given free creative leash. But I don't want to write something generic. Soo... reply and give me your ideas for my article! I would really appreciate it! Thank you so much!

Hope you'll post the finished story here. Depending on the size of the paper and what you come up with maybe they will let you offer it to AP. Would not hurt them to be a little more aware of things. As a reader, I would want to know that the restaurants in my area were safe -- I would want to know which chefs and staff were really aware of the issues that create a pleasant dining experience for a celiac. Do they know how cross contamination affects us? Do they know soy sauce, for the most part, is wheat and not soy? DO they know that spelt, kamut etc. is still wheat? Too often gluten free is used as a buzz word. I had a fit at a farmers market at someone touting gluten free spelt cookies. As a journalist, you can help to build awareness that benefits those with celiac as well as local businesses who understand it.

Will look forward to the story!

I'd write about informing other people. Like the other poster suggested concentrate on targeting the food industry and educating restaurant staff. I don't think you'll teach a celiac much unless they have done no personal research?

Thank you for your input! It was great to hear from you about what you would want to read. I am planning on talking to a bunch of local restaurants and asking them what they do to keep their food safe for those with gluten intolerances. I think that that is going to be something that everyone will want to read. Thanks again!

      Frustrated

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im not being heard by my previous doctor I had for 25 years. I switched in May of this year.I was half told of my celiac disease in 1994 and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.Im not.Was on tramadel from I think 2006 til 2023.In 2007 still gluten-free had blood test and showed other food allergies. I have been avoiding and reading labels so I don't get sick.Im 54 years old, my right eye feels as if pressure ( seeing eye specialist) saw dermatologist and had skin graph was told ulcers but since I was disregarded of my celiac disease and it was previous doctor who sent me to dermatologist, its now " undetermined ".I pushed for the first and second ANA panel and negative. I had my 5th colonoscopy July 9 this year and colon looks great, BECAUSE IM gluten-free for 31 YEARS.Waiting on biopsy.My only celiac proof on medical was 2014 that i physically have, i don't have original. How do I get my new doctor to understand the severity of pain Im dealing with, daily flare ups.Exhausted and allergic to everything. Menopause has intensified, i feel but then again I had my 3rd covid in March 2023 and I can't bounce back.Pain down left leg always in the bathroom when I barely eat.Its affecting my life and frustrated with doctors not knowing.To be far my new doctor is having me see two specialist but how do I get him to understand its my false negative celiac disease????

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
