Elizabeth Haselbeck Said She Has Celiac!

[TBOX]

I just heard on The View this morning that Elizabeth Hasselbeck has celiac disease. She mentioned it, explained it briefly as they were closing, and Rosie told viewers to Google it and they will have a segment on it next week. That's great!

[Nantzie]

Oh my gosh! That's wonderful!! Thanks for posting that.

I just heard (in the closing moments of the show) Rosie O'Donnell say that the reason Elizabeth never eats on the show is because she has Celiac Disease and they will be doing a whole segment on it next week.

Elizabeth herself said she has Celiac, and described it as an allergy (!) to wheat, oats, barley and rye. She also said something about being able to drink gluten-free beer.

Can't wait to see how they handle the subject.

[jukie]

Hey, Patti...you beat me to it! I heard Elizabeth mention something about gluten-free beer and was shocked to actually hear her say she has Celiac! Can't wait to see what The View segment on Celiac will be next week!

[olalisa]

I was so excited when she said that today! I'm going to tivo it next week

[dairy queen]

woohoo! I was coming over here to post this exciting news too!

Wouldn't it be great if she were to become a national spokesperson for celiac disease. It could be beneficial for her too. Imagine the money ..comercials, endorsements.

Can't wait to see how the view deals with this!!!

[happygirl]

So happy to hear her come out and say this! We've known she's had a "problem" with gluten, and we all wondered!

Nice to have it confirmed! Yay Elisabeth!

Let me know when it comes on...I figured out how to Tivo finally

dairyqueen: Heidi Collins, a CNN anchor, is a recently appointed spokesperson for Celiac Awareness. Google her and you'll find the info. Yay media people with Celiac!

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT

Do you know what comes up first when you google Celiac? Celiac.com! That means we'll probably be getting more visitors and "lurkers" here, which is GREAT! Let's all get ready to welcome newbies and answer questions. Just think about how many people will be interested and possibly visiting here after next week's show!

[Judyin Philly]

Jess,

How do you sign up for 'listserv'?

[quantumsugar]

That's awesome!

It's so nice to watch awareness grow, even in the two years since my diagnosis. It's going to help a lot of people, hopefully.

[Carriefaith]

That's great news! When and what time is The View usually on? Probably when I'm at work...Maybe I can take an early or late lunch.

[katrinamaria]

does anyone know exactly what day it is going to be on next week? keep me updated!! i hope it's tues or thurs otherwise i'll be in class and have to miss it...

[jukie]

I don't see any info on their website about content of upcoming shows (other than this weeks guest stars). I sent an email and will post the info if they reply.

[Canadian Karen]

The timing is awesome also! With all this Rosie/The Donald stuff going on, more people have been tuning in to the View lately..... even me, and I usually don't watch it..... but will now!

Well i think if you check the schedule next week they may have it online or on the recap part of the website.

I also think it maybe a good idea to email the show or Elisabeth, I did, and just let them know how many people are thankful for them bringing this to their show.

Great to hear...yippee!!! I just e-mailed Elizabeth myself. Can you imagine the exposure that this segment will bring to this issue? Huge!!! I can't wait!!!

[Rebecca47]

ya hooooo

My mom had told me about last week, but she couldn't remember exactly what was said(short term memory loss caused by stroke) anyway I can't wait to watch.

Anybody find out which day yet?

I just went on and e-mailed Elisabeth on the view too. I told her how thrilled I was (we) were to hear that see was going to do a segment on it.

[jesscarmel]

Jess,

I looked at the schedule on their website, but didn't see this ... I'm sure I am missing something ..

I wrote a letter to Elisabeth and included info on my experience and nuerological celiac ... Marcia

Where did you see that the celiac disease discussion show will air on Friday (1/26/07)? I also emailed Elizabeth to thank her for openly sharing about her celiac disease experience. I encourage anyone reading this to email her a thank you note. Let's STUFF her inbox with appreciation for promoting celiac disease awareness!

[marciab]

It would probably be a good idea for those who have been diagnosed via biopsy or blood work and have nuerological problems that have resolved by going gluten free to email Elisabeth too ....

Thanks ... marcia
