NPR has a story this morning about celiac and the new ingredient guidelines. Pretty good overall. You can find it at the bottom of this site. If it doesn't work for some reason go to npr.org and then click on Morning Edition.

I had several friends call me about this this morning--I caught the tail end of it. I'm trying to get another spot on my local npr channel... Thanks Richard!

Hey, thanks, Richard.

My seventh grade teacher, whom I have kept in touch with sent me an e-mail this morning about a NPR story on Celiac...I wasn't sure if it was the "Gut Reaction" one that was on a few months ago (replaying it?) or not, but it turns out it was new!

I'll have to reply again and thank him for keeping his eyes (well, ears) open for me :D .

The headline says allergy and they mention allergy, but in the body of the story they also explain the difference between allergy and celiac. I was fine with it.

I was just so happy to even hear the word "celiac" on national news!

I was pretty excited to hear the npr report. Maybe I'm behind the times, but the best news for me was that labelling requirements are changing in January. Those "hidden" wheat and gluten drive me crazy, especially eating out. Even better news...If you have not discoved the "Gluten Free Bible" by Jax Lowell--it's amazingly comprehensive. According to the author, the Center for Celiac Disease at the University of Maryland reports that as many as 1 in 132 individuals in the US may have celiac. That's significant enough that we should be taken seriously!

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals. Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you. Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet? It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet. Gluten containing products are...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant. I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.

      A gastroenterologist doing an endoscopy. Biopsies would be taken to be examined microscopically. Do your anti-rejection medications cause digestive problems?

      Top Celiac Disease Travel Destinations and How to Eat Gluten-Free Abroad

      I had a wonderful experience in Istanbul last Spring. Before I left home, I purchased cards written in Turkish explaining that I had celiac and explaining what I could not eat. The restaurant owners were so accommodating and caring. I stayed well the entire time we were in Istanbul.

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.  Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you.  Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet?   It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet.  Gluten containing products are required to be enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified.  So we have to buy our own vitamin supplements.   Glad to be of help.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  Are you taking a B Complex vitamin?  Vitamin D?  Thiamine in the form TTFD or Benfotiamine? I think increasing my B Complex vitamins and taking additional Thiamine and Vitamin C and zinc helps along with the Lysine.
