I emailed the assignment editor at work (CTV) some suggestions for Celiac Awareness month, and to my surprise he said he loved it and is assigning a reporter to do a story (or more, I hope). Last year, he deleted the suggestion. <_<

Anyway, in my pitch to do the story, I suggested that they speak to the Calgary Association and Dr. Butzner or Dr. Scott at Children's. I mentioned a profile of the owners of Splitt, the lactose/gluten free restaurant in south Calgary, Terracotto in Nanton, Earth's Oven in Calgary, and to get an Edmonton reporter to profile Kinnikinnick. I also said they should find out why the Food Allergy and Anaphylactic Network suggested that rye and barley NOT be considered a top allergen for ingredient labelling purposes. I can't find the info on that right now. I also mentioned following a newbie around the grocery reading labels and calling companies.

I've pm'd Sandy (2kids4me) to see if she might be interested in a interview. Ty has such boring symptoms (anemia only), I think the story would work better if we get people who can speak knowledgeably about cross contamination, etc. There are all these resources in Calgary, bakeries etc. that I know of but have never tried because I don't want to spend a fortune on stuff that Ty might not like, so I'm not confident speaking about them. I can talk about inconvenience and packing a pizza and cupcake to birthday parties.

So...if anyone is brave enough to do an on camera interview please let me know ASAP so I can forward your contact info to the reporter. She's off on Monday because of the stat, and I'm not sure when she'll be doing the story.

Have you e-mailed Rusla? She's in Calgary, isn't she?

Good Luck!

Good thinking! I haven't seen her on the board for so long, she slipped my mind. And Lori (SkokiMom) is asymptomatic so that would be a boring interview (no offense, Lori!). I should email Carriefaith, too.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Aussie Celiac · Posted

      Sometimes celiacs can also have other things like lactose intolerance which is fairly common. Also research fodmap foods, it's quite complicated but there are some other foods which can cause digestive issues. For me it's too many onions and garlic.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.
