I found out about friday from an email from the celiac listserve that i subscribe to. here is the email:

My daughter was at the taping of the show where Elisabeth talks about her

Celiac. Coincidentally, I have it as do many members of my family. Anyway,

the audience was told that the show will air THIS FRIDAY - the 26th! I know

that Rosie mentioned next week, but again, it will be this Friday.

Thanks! I'll advise my 60 member support group that the View will include a discussion about Elizabeth Hasselback's celiac disease experience TOMORROW, January 27, 2007.

I don't know when it is on, and I work all day so, I am going to miss it but I did write to Elisabeth. Seeing as how so many of us have written to her that if they do have it tomorrow maybe they will run it again sometime.

Wow---I'm watching this right now and its awesome!

She is so cute, so fun! She is drinking gluten free beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They talked about-and drank-Redbridge and both of them said it was really good (Rosie and Elisabeth are the ones who drank it).

She mentioned that she was sick for about four years, and felt much better when she was on Survivor, because they were eating fish and rice.

She has also been genetically tested, and officially has the gene, so that is why she is watching her daughter and being careful about gluten with her.

She mentioned the 1 in 133 Americans have it, but 97% don't know it.

I thought she really did a good job explaining it. They even talked about how so many people have written her....they must be talking about us :)

She was really positive about it, how there are lots of great products out there now. She also talked about how it is misdiagnosed with IBS, colitis, and other things like that. She said it is related to higher risks of cancer, and that it is related to diabetes, thyroid, infertility. I think in the short amount of time she had, she really hit the high points!

I'm sure it's not coincidental that she was promoting the new AB beer but if that is what it took for her to 'come out' so to speak I'm thrilled that AB approached her. Maybe she had them donate money to Celiac research or something. AB is a huge ABC sponsor and having anyone on The View drink Redbridge on air is priceless advertising. Either way it works and at least she mentioned infertility in addition to IBS. Hopefully they will do a proper health segment on Celiac next week. We should all send Elisabeth TY e-mails today and ask they do so.

I got home from the off leash in time to watch the back half of the Eastern feed. Nothing there but a guy decorating cakes. :blink: I don't think they were gluten-free.

I have to go to school for the fun lunch, so I'm setting the PVR for the Western feed. (PVR is Canadian Tivo.)

Agree :D got allot in given the short time she had.

i wrote her also. Thanked her for talking about her personal issue and asked to have more about it on future shows and suggested Dr P Green as a guest. Hope all will jot her a note of thanks and encourage her to do future shows on our topic.

It was on within the first 10? 15? minutes or so. They usually sit around a table and "talk" to start the show, and it was while they were still in that segment, rather than when they have guests, etc.

She did a pretty decent job in the, like, three minutes that she had! :P It would've been great to have had a broader overview but it's a great start and I'm sure it will get a lot of people thinking...

      Welcome sillyyak52, I'm not sure of your age or if you live with your parents. Is there a nurse in your family or friend of the family that may be able to explain your diagnoses? You can get a second opinion by taking your lab results to another GI Doctor. Good Luck!

      So, you have three symptoms of a gluten-related disorder: weight loss, brain fog and lose stools. Of the three, the lose stools that firm up when you cut back on gluten is the only symptom for which you have reasonable cause to assume is connected to gluten consumption since the other two persist when you cut back on gluten. But since you do not have any...

      Hi, yes. Much more solid and firm, as opposite to diarrhea like when on gluten.

      So, you have three symptoms of a gluten-related disorder: weight loss, brain fog and lose stools. Of the three, the lose stools that firm up when you cut back on gluten is the only symptom for which you have reasonable cause to assume is connected to gluten consumption since the other two persist when you cut back on gluten. But since you do not have any formal test results that prove celiac disease, you could just as easily have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). In fact, what testing you have had done indicates you do not have celiac disease. 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 is the antidote for both. What muddies this whole question are two things: 1. Lack of official diagnostic data that indicates celiac disease. 2. Your persistence in consuming gluten, even though in smaller amounts. Your anxiety over the insomnia seems to outweigh your anxiety over the weight loss which prevents you from truly testing out the gluten free diet. What other medical testing have you had done recently? I think something else is going on besides a gluten disorder. Have you had a recent CBC (Complete Blood Count) and a recent CMP (Complete Metabolic Panel)? You say you don't believe you have any vitamin and mineral deficiencies but have you actually been tested for any. I certainly would be concerned with that if I was losing weight like you are despite consuming the high amount of calories you are.

      False blood test positive?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @AndiOgris! Recently upgraded guidelines for the "gluten challenge" recommend the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least 2 weeks to the day of testing to ensure valid testing, either for the antibody testing or the endoscopy/biopsy. 10g of gluten is roughly the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. So, there is a question in my mind as to whether or not your gluten consumption was intense enough to ensure valid testing the second time around. And was the tTG-IGA the only antibody test that was run? That is far from a comprehensive celiac panel. Concerning your negative biopsy, there is the possibility of patchy damage that was missed due to inadequate sampling as you alluded to. There is also the possibility that the onset of your celiac disease (if you have it) was so new that there had not yet been time to accumulate damage to the small bowel lining. Your total lack of symptoms at the time of diagnosis would seem to support this idea. Having said all that, and this is my informal observation from reading many, many posts like yours over the years, I wonder if you are on the cusp of celiac disease, crossing back and forth across that line for the time being. My suggestion would be to keep a close eye on this for the time being. Watch for the development of symptoms and request a more complete celiac panel a year from now. Here is an article that discusses the various antibody tests that can be run for celiac disease. Note: The EMA test is kind of outdated and expensive. It has been replaced by the tTG-IGA which measures the same thing and is less expensive to run.

      False blood test positive?

      By AndiOgris · Posted

      Hi all I have had a very confusing year with celiac disease (or perhaps not as it turns out) and wondered if anyone can help me make sense of it? My mother was diagnosed with celiac disease (in her 70s) a couple of years ago. I am in my early 40s and did not have any symptoms, but I took a blood test in November 2023 and it came back positive (TTG IGA 23.4 U/ml - normal range is below 7 U/ml). I was referred for a gastroscopy to confirm, which was scheduled for October 2024 (I use the UK health service, things move slowly!). The gastroscopy found no evidence of celiac disease.  My gastroenterologist has asked me to retake the blood test, and it just came back negative (TTG IGA 1.6 U/ml - normal range is below 7 U/ml). Given the long wait between my initial positive blood test and my gastroscopy, I reduced my gluten intake but never avoided it fully. In the 6 weeks before the gastroscopy and the second blood test, I made sure to eat at least two slices of bread a day as recommended, and often I had significantly more.  So what's going on? I understand that false positives are very rare for celiac blood tests, and usually associated with other serious diseases which I am fairly sure I don't have (my health is generally very good). After the negative biopsy, I thought that (i) either they did not take enough samples, or (ii) I have "potential celiac disease". But now that the second blood test has come back negative, I'm running out of plausible explanations...  Can anyone make sense of this? I have not spoken to my gastroenterologist yet - I wanted to get a better sense of where I am beforehand so that I can ask the right questions. Under the UK system, specialist doctors can be very hard to get hold of, so I need to make the most of my time with him! Thanks!
