Thanks to the observant person who told us about the links on the House website-- Open Original Shared Link A link to celiac disease now appears there. SCORE!!! Except they spelled it wrong. There's some other good links there too. But like the show or not, celiac is getting attention! Imagine how many people this could help! I said...

This is the address available on Fox's website for Fox primetime shows. I'd like to suggest cc'ing your letter, regardless of what it says, to at least one local newspaper, TV station, or hospital. Imagine what would have happened for celiacs in the 60s if JFK's doctors had gone public with his health problems. He was reportedly a celiac with Addison's disease...

I can't get into the boards at Fox either and have waited all day to see what they say! If anyone does know how to get in-- maybe I'm blocking cookies or something-- please let me know, thanks. Everyone's entitled to their opinion about this show. I completely respect that. If I couldn't relate to the symptoms presented on the show, I am a "seizure celiac...

Two other things I meant to add: Fox may have consulted with GIG for this episode, but I know of no reason GIG would be privy to the script. Meaning that GIG had no way of knowing how they would use the information. I applaud GIG for taking that risk because of the awareness it created. Secondly, another aspect of the episode that was very real was...

I'm hearing both rage and thankfulness about this episode from friends and seeing the same mixed response on this forum. "House" is a medical show that goes for shock value. It's about the ratings. If you haven't watched it before I can see where you could be shocked by it. Celiac disease has been ignored and downplayed for so long that just about...

I am allergic to many things, wheat, dairy, egg, etc. I found out that flu shots have egg and gelatin components. My doctors were divided on the issue but one was adamant that I shouldn't get one. FluMist is also not recommended for people with egg allergies. What a catch-22, because we have compromised immune systems and are susceptible to illness. ...

I have 10 food allergies including celiac, dairy, egg, and soy. One doctor is saying it's okay to get a flu shot and another says it's not. Someone suggested FluMist as an alternative to a flu shot, but it's not recommended for egg-allergic people either. We celiacs already have autoimmune issues, so in the past getting a flu shot has been important to...

Thank you all! This is such fantastic info.! Yes, I am allergic to beef and lamb. I don't eat red meat anyway except for pork. So it's not a big deal except that you have to avoid pork sausage in sheep casings and gelatin. You're not nuts, get tested. My naturopath said exactly what you just did, it's in the bovine family. If you can't eat the...

Sounds like there's someone else out there with the same problem I have! I was diagnosed with celiac within the past 5 years but had symptoms my whole life. I'm used to eating strictly gluten-free. But I just found out I'm also allergic to dairy, eggs, red meat, sesame, and am very suspicious of soy. I used to eat Balance Bars-- the Almond Brownie and...

I am an experienced celiac who's used to eating strictly gluten-free. I just found out that I am also allergic to dairy, eggs, beef, lamb, and sesame. Suspicious of soy. Can anyone recommend cookbooks? Stores? Websites? And most of all, protein bars? I am hypoglycemic and sometimes need a quick fix. Thanks!
