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!

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By RMJ · Posted

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you
