I have only recently learned how to stand up for myself. It's bad enough getting smashed down by doctors who think gluten is not a problem. Now I feel I am getting slapped in the face, both by Hex's original post and by Judy, Momma Goose, and others who think that I have no right to respond.

Kudos for learning to stand up for yourself - it can be a hard task, and often unappreciated in our world. And I appreciate your point about it seeming a relevant divergence. But, in the interest of not hijaking the thread, which you note you were not trying to do, the idea of posting a new topic on the subject is quite relevant. To address your concern of connecting it to this conversation (which I happen to think is a weak link, but that is a point of disagreement, and I accept that from your perspective, it is connected to the conversation as it had been going), all that need be done is have a post on here that notes why you think a segment on CNN on celiac is related to the pharmaceutical industry, then a hyperlink to the new topic you started related to that. This accomplishes your goal of addressing the issue, without derailing the goal of the original conversation either. Dear god, dare I use the 'win-win' phrase? ;)

What are they saying? I don't have cable, so I miss all the CNN stuff!

And their website doesn't seem to mention anything about it. Aargh!

Thank you for the good idea. What exactly is a hyperlink, and how do you do it?

Heidi Collis said that over 800 people took the survey, and mentions some links with more information about celiac disease. celiac disease goess 97% undx'd. It was very short. Her co anchor said he knows first hand how difficult it is to eat out as he has lunched with her several time, an it took "hours" to study the menu to select something safe to eat!!!

Maybe someone can find this seg on CNN and post like yesterday.

Guess we need to be prepared for "incomming" :)

That was a great piece! Nice to see. :)

For those looking for the video clips, both are posted here:

Open Original Shared Link

There are links to both segments on the home page. I know some had problems with viewing, I don't know if the problem simply got fixed, but I had no trouble viewing either of the videos just now.

Awesome! She is doing wonders in getting the word out! She even said near the end that's what she is trying to do - because it is so underdiagnosed, it needs more exposure! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the good idea. What exactly is a hyperlink, and how do you do it?

A hyperlink is the underlined words that you can click on and that take you to a different website (there's a www.celiaccentral.org link in Canadian Karen's post just above this one). When you are adding a reply to the forum, there is a bar at the top of the typing area. It allows you to include Bold, Italics, etc. There are several small icons on the bar. If you float your cursor over them, a description will pop up. The one that looks like the earth with a chain in front of it allows you to add a link to another webpage. If you click on that icon, a small box will open that allows you to paste in the link.

To do what I think you want to do, just start the other thread, then copy the entire web address from the address bar at the top of your screen. Then jump back to this thread, start a reply, click on the hyperlink icon, then paste the entire web address into the box that opens. Click okay and then type in a name for the link (you can paste in the address again or call it "The Vaccines Thread" or "My Very Favorite Link in the Whole Wide world because I started it and so it's the very best one" or whatever else you want to call it :D). Then click "okay" again, and you're done!

Well, that follow-up gave me tingles! She really is "the voice of Celiac disease". She seems to be proclaiming her desire to make this diseaes known to all. I'm so glad someone with ability has picked up the torch to lead the charge.

Michelle, Thanks for that link--I missed the broadcast :)

I used the link to Heidi Collins to write a real letter telling of our family's struggle to be dxed. I read that most letters are indeed read by paid employees, just not individually responded to.

I hope that giving details about how difficult a dx was to obtain will become a focus on a future segment. I thanked her for her efforts to promote awareness as that is what is needed in order for that group of 97 % undxed people to find the answer to their health issues. I am thinking that personal stories will show the show's producers that there is a real need for continuing dialogue about celiac disease. Also, I believe that evertyhing is justified by money.... If the show sees a growing audience interested in the topic of celiac disease, they will agree to a real segment with a professional speaker, not just friendly banter/exchange between co anchors. Please consider a follow up email to keep the momentum alive.

I just watched CNN's follow-up segment and it was short but great.

She expanded more on the everyday struggles faced by Celiacs and it sounds like they are going to do continuing coverage. Mentioning again that a crumb is the same as a loaf of bread and that EVERYthing needs to be thoroughly checked - including medications, vitamins, lipsticks, etc...

I'm definately going to email another thank you to help keep this momentum going!!

I truly feel this is a breakthrough. A mainstream anchor on the most watched news channel in the world! What could be better?

I love it!

I watched it (or should I say listened to it) at celiac central. Still get the teeny screen with only a portion of the people showing. Very aggrivating. Good to have mainline coverage.

Andrea, could there be a issue with your Quicktime settings in terms of video size? Are there preferences you can set/change to adjust the size?

LOL! I got the same thing! A 1" by 2" box that only showed her from the mouth down! LOL!

Oh well, got to hear what she said, which was great!

I got the same little tiny box and when I tried to futz with the settings, the video stopped!

It didn't matter to me as long as I got to hear what she was saying, though.

I let them know about the video issue but I think it might be an individual computer thing. However, I've been able to view other video's on their site full size. If if is something on their end, I think they'll fix it.

Please everyone - make sure to e-mail CCN and Heidi Collins via the link Karen posted above. It does make a difference! Thanks to everyone who already has.

The video played fine for me. The box is small, maybe 2" x 2" but I do see entire people (or desk up) anyway. I think you are having browser or QT issues if the video is not playing correctly. The reason for the small size is to decrease bandwidth consumption. If you look at the url, Celiac Central is hosting this on their server, it's not a feed from a CNN server. To be sure, Celiac Central doesn't have the powerful streaming servers that CNN does.

Right-click on the video once it starts to play on your screen and look to be certain that your QuickTime settings match your connection speeds, etc.

Respectfully, I don't think it's a good idea to e-mail CNN about this issue. They might decide that the quality Celiac Central is able to provide is not up to their standards and ask them to pull it. I would certainly hope not, but you never know.

WOW!!! Another great coverage. As others here have already said, I like that this one is more down-to-earth with daily struggles presented. I think it's a great juxtaposition to yesterday's statistical orientation. AND, I'm sure y'all caught it....today she tossed in Oats as a grain to avoid :)

Woo Hoo!

And HUGS to all of you with eagle eyes and radar who notified us about these two days of coverage!!

I was able to view it just fine! I'm just tickled silly that this is getting some publicity! I just wish it was aired during PRIME TIME and not just the middle of the day! Kudo's to Heidi Collin's for using her position to be an advocate for Celiac Awareness!

I had no idea this was on the air Monday.... and my husband watches CNN all the time. Anyhow, I'm listening to the broadcast right now. It's great! I can't see the the video either, but I can hear it. Thanks for posting the info on where to find it. It's a good interview.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @thejayland10, Do you still consume dairy?  Dairy can cause increased tTg IgA levels in some people with celiac disease who react to casein, the protein in dairy, just like to gluten.   You might try cutting out the processed gluten free foods.  Try a whole foods, no carbohydrate Paleo diet instead, like the AIP diet (the Autoimmune Protocol Diet by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself). Processed gluten free foods can be full of excess carbohydrates which can alter your microbiome leading to Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).  SIBO is found in some people who are not responding to a gluten free diet.  SIBO can elevate tTg IgA levels.  The AIP diet cuts out sources of carbohydrates like rice, potatoes (nightshades), quinoa, peas, lentils, legumes, which starves out the SIBO bacteria.  Better bacteria can then proliferate.   I followed the AIP diet to get rid of my SIBO.  It's a strict diet, but my digestive tract had time to rest and heal.  I started feeling better within a few days.  Feeling improvement so soon made sticking to the AIP diet much easier. References: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth among patients with celiac disease unresponsive to a gluten free diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7759221/   Luminal antigliadin antibodies in small intestinal bacterial overgrowth https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9260801/#:~:text=Luminal total IgA concentrations (p,response to local bacterial antigens.   Potato glycoalkaloids adversely affect intestinal permeability and aggravate inflammatory bowel disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12479649/

      New to gluten free living, in5ro and small question

      By trents · Posted

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears down the "villi" (mucosal finger-like projections that make up the lining). Over a significant period of time as gluten continues to be consumed, this generally results in impaired nutrient absorption. There are specific blood antibody tests available to check for celiac disease but the testing will not be valid while on a reduced gluten diet or a gluten free diet. Those already having having begun a gluten free diet must go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks if they wish to pursue testing for celiac disease. Fourth, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. Fifth, you state that you are convince you don't have celiac disease by are just "gluten intolerant" (aka, gluten sensitive). How do you know that? It seems to me you are making a dangerous assumption here. I suggest you consider getting formally tested for celiac disease.

      Gluten free parakeet food

      By AllyJR · Posted

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

      New to gluten free living, in5ro and small question

      By boy-wonder · Posted

      Hi, new member. About me, I had been suffering with weight gain, bloating and irregular and extreme bowel habits for a year or so. For example, I went on holiday in 2023, then again I  2024 at the same time of year and every shirt I wore in 2023 didn't fit anymore, couldn't even do the buttons up. Being in my mid 50s I put it down to age and middle aged spread. I'd been lucky all my life having good metabolism and being able to eat anything and as much as I like without putting on any weight, it drove my other half mad. Over a conversation with a friend health and age Related stuff came up and he mentioned someone he knew who had recently found out they were gluten intolerant,  I looked it up and had every one of 8 or so symptoms listed. Bloating,  weight gain,  headaches, brain fog,  constipation, etc etc. I took the decision to give going gluten free a try. Within 1 week I had lost 4 lb, now 7 weeks in I've lost 13 lb. I feel much better in general,  the bloating has severely subsided, it used to keep me awake at night as I felt so uncomfortable.  So pretty much a success story, as everyone here knows,  going gluten free isn't always easy, and eating out can be awkward,  but I consider myself lucky that I appear to have an intolerance rather than an allergy or being celiac.  I can deal with most of the gluten free options at the supermarket but, the big one for me is bread, I love bread, and the gluten free options I've tried are pretty poor. I was at a posh black tie event last night and chose all the food options I thought would be gluten free,  however,  there was bread on the table and I couldn't resist it, I had I small piece of bread,  god it was good, I wanted more but I resisted. Today I feel a bit dodgy, my stomach is churning, and I generally feel a bit urgh.  So here's the question, is that really down to 1 small piece of bread or is it coincidence?  I'd be interested in hearing how other people have reacted to a similar situation,  as I was considering having a day off every now and then and enjoying some lovely fresh bread.
