Bill Clinton Does Have Celiac

Hey--

After Pres. Clinton's comment on Rachel Ray's show about eating gluten free granola, I know a bunch of us were wondering if he had celiac. Good Morning America reported to today that Chelsea Clinton's wedding cake is going to be gluten free, so I think that pretty much confirms that he does. Just thought that I'd pass along the news that another famous person has it.

I can remember when he was Pres. he used to get teased for doing his jogging then getting a McDonald's Big Mac! It must have caught up with him....lol

I heard this about her wedding also but heard the Chelsea was the one. I heard she's gluten intolerant and vegan.

We can read all we want into this, but the only information that has been put forth is that Chelsea Clinton has a "gluten allergy", and is vegan.

I suspect that she has been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Publicly, she can be better understood by calling it an allergy and saying that she can't eat gluten.

I agree--they may not want to publicly use the word "disease".

A few years ago, I saw Bill Clinton on Rachel Ray's show and he said he ate "gluten free snacks" when asked what he liked to snack on.

IF BILL CLINTON IS CELIAC THEN WHY IS HE KNOWN FOR HIS LOVE OF McCDONALDS, BIG MACS AND OTHER FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS...WAS HE ONLY DIAGNOSED RECENTLY?

Heck, my other half is the only one in our house who is gluten intolerant and I prefer some of his gluten-free snacks to the regular ones. Nut thins have become my favorite go to snack, they're better than chips, pretzels, or regular crackers. Bill Clinton may be the same way. I too have seen that Chelsea is the one who is gluten intolerant and vegan.

Quite possibly. Most people aren't diagnosed until they're adults. My husband's uncle is a 60-year-old grandfather of three AND a medical doctor, and he was only diagnosed last year.

Heck, I had a known love for soft pretzels, hoagies and pastries before I was diagnosed. Remember, its not always something that's been detected for your whole life, especially if you're a bit older. It really didn't start to get diagnosed more frequently until about 5 or 6 years ago!

Exactly!

I do not know what I am going to do at the Kentucky State Fair this year.

I'm thinking about not even going....what's the point?

Eat before you go so you are too full to want any of that stuff.

I have heard that cotton candy is gluten-free. Also, I got kettle corn (my favorite). I went to a stand with an older couple overseeing the granddaughters. Asked them what was in the kettle corn. Showed me the bottle of oil, salt, sugar and plain popcorn. Said she worries about people with allergies so she keeps the canola oil out for all to see. The only thing they make in the kettle is the popcorn. Those fried curly potato places might be OK if all they make is fried potatoes with no coatings. Deep fried twinkies would be a "NO".

I love my junk food. :P

Target has these little cooler bags that look just like a purse right now. I bet you could smuggle in some gluten free pretzels and other treats in on of those. ;)

      My GI Doctor took blood work and said my Iron levels were actually high. But they took my blood a couple weeks after my infusion so I'm thinking that's why they were showing so high, but they knew I had the infusions. The infusions did help greatly but I am also on an Iron pill that I can instantly notice if I have not taken it for a few days.  Yes, I have read up on that! Thank you so much! I sure that will be fun! Hahaha

      @shadycharacter, did you mean to reply to another post about sourdough bread? The present thread isn't about that.

      Thanks for your response. It seems to be only with gluten, illness, or vaccination.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!
