    “Free the Glutens!” Tom Waits' 2015 Interview Still a Classic

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Tom Waits made an appearance on David Letterman a few years back that is still a classic, and still has folks chuckling about gluten.

    Celiac.com 10/09/2018 - Remember that time George Clooney handcuffed himself to David Letterman, and Tom Waits showed up and stole the show and then spun into that wild riff on gluten, and everybody had a good laugh? We do.

    Tom Waits has long been a favorite, but when he shows up on David Letterman, fun times are guaranteed for all. Even when Waits pokes some of his chronic hipster brand fun at gluten.

     In case you missed it, it’s one of those great moments of television that just keeps on giving, and we can take the jokes.

    At well over half a million views and counting on one YouTube channel alone, the episode continues to please. The fun starts at 5:27:

    Why All the Hate for Gluten-free Celebrities?
    Celiac.com 09/11/2015 - At Celiac.com, we're generally of the opinion that any publicity about celiac disease and gluten sensitivity is good publicity. We've always believed that the less people know about celiac disease, the more those who have it are at risk.

    Undoubtedly gluten-free celebrities are bringing a huge awareness to celiac disease and the gluten-free diet, and this has lead not only to increased awareness of the disease, but also may have directly contributed to lowering the overall risk for those of us who have it by vastly increasing the number of people who are on the gluten-free diet. This has ultimately led to an explosion in the number, variety and availability of gluten-free products. 
    Interestingly, articles about gluten-free celebrities have prompted so...

    Celiac.com 08/25/2016 - Star Trek and Beyond star Zoe Saldana recently revealed that she has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
    Hashimoto's thyroiditis attacks and destroys the thyroid cells, and is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the U.S. Signs and symptoms of Hashimoto's disease include constipation, fatigue, sluggishness, depression, muscle weakness, pain and stiffness in the joints, unexplained weight gain, and a hoarse voice.
    It is very important for people with Hashimoto's to avoid gluten completely to prevent thyroid damage. As a result, Saldana and husband Marco Perego have both eliminated gluten and dairy from their diets.
    Several studies actually link Hashimoto's disease and gluten intolerance, including a 2003 study...

    Kourtney Kardashian Takes Her Family Gluten-free
    Celiac.com 09/30/2016 - This week in celebrity gluten-free news, Kourtney Kardashian has put her family on a gluten-free, dairy-free diet.
    The 37-year-old reality star explained on her website how she made the diet change after undergoing muscle testing, an alternative medicine technique that has been widely discredited by science and medical professionals. The reality star wrote: "I don't think everyone needs to eat this way, but we had muscle testing done, which showed we all have sensitivities to corn, gluten and dairy."
    Kourtney Kardashian says she has "noticed a great positive change in behavior" when her kids stick to a gluten- and dairy-free diet. She even offers her own personal tip for maintaining gluten-free harmony: Bring your own cupcakes to birthday parties, so...

    Gluten Intolerance Group of North America Sues Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver for Use of Certified Gluten-Free Logo
    Celiac.com 09/28/2017 - The Gluten Intolerance Group of North America (GIG) is suing celebrity chef Jamie Oliver for using a logo on his gluten-free recipes that is similar to that of the GIG's Gluten-Free Certification Organization logo.
    Although there is no disagreement that Mr. Oliver's recipes are indeed gluten-free, a judge and jury may need to decide whether or not he is violating their trademark by using a similar graphic on his recipes.
    According to the Gluten-Free Certification Organization, its logo is now widely identified as the official gluten-free stamp of approval on gluten-free products.  In the lawsuit the GIG claims that Mr. Oliver is purposely using their trademark on his online recipes to make it seem as though they've been certified gluten-free by the Gluten-...

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8, Yes, the bloodwork is confusing. One has to be eating a sufficient amount of gluten (10 grams/day, about 5-6 slices of bread) in order for the antibody level to get high enough to be measured in the bloodstream. If insufficient amounts of gluten are eaten, the the antibodies stay in the small intestines...

      Years of testing - no real answers

      The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools. Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.

      @Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency. https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And...

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      Sorry about that link. It was meant for a different post. Do consider taking high dose Vitamin D in order to get your level up to around 80 nm/l quickly. This is the level where Vitamin D can properly work like a hormone and can improve the immune system and lower inflammation. It makes a big difference. I took high dose Vitamin D and really...

      A video with researcher William Parker about Helminthic Therapy

      I don't buy it either. I think a much better explanation is that humans evolved with hookworms just as hookworms evolved with us. The immunoregulatory activities that hookworms conduct to avoid expulsion from the gut have over time been incorporated into how the gut immune system works as a whole, and without hookworms present the gut immune system is incomplete...
