Has any one heard if Congress has passed or even voted on H. Con. Res. 457 making the month of May National Celiac Awareness Month?

Just wondering why as a large group why there is no talk of getting the month of May the National Celiac Awareness Month. I wonder if the Congress Man/Woman that sponsered/cosponsered the bill was on this forum and saw not one person was excited enough to post support for this bill would it make him/her rethink their effort for this bill. I am new to this so I maybe missing something. Personally I think it would be great for people with Celiac to have a whole month dedicated Nationally to our issue's. I read the post where people get excited that someone mentions Celiac for 15 seconds but we show no support for this bill. I am confused because as a large group we can make a difference. ;)

Hi,

I was just looking to see if there was a celiac awareness month and found a few different answers to this. I thought that October has already been designated as Celiac Awareness month. https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodid=411. Is this something different?

When my daughter was first diagnoised in Nov-06 I ran across a group called "American Celiac Disease Alliance" and they were asking people to support H. Con. Res. 457 and National Celiac Awareness Month (May). They have a prepared e-mail to send to your Congress person, so I did. A few days later my Congress man wrote me a letter stating he was one of the co-sponsers of the bill. I thought people on this forum would know about this and support it. I will personally do any thing I can to bring more awareness to this disease. My family will go to Washington DC to do whatever we can to support our Congressman on the passage of this bill. I have never heard of October being the Awareness month, but I am for that as well.

October is already the offical month...but I think it shares it with breast cancer so maybe they are trying to change it?

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      Hi Scott, You mentioned in your response that you have been taking supplements long term. What brand(s) do you take? I ask because I've had a very difficult time finding truly gluten free supplements that have not made me sick over time from allowable trace amounts of gluten within the FDA's acceptable limits. Thank you, Peg

      Keep in mind that Dapsone can have some serious side effects, so be sure to look into those before you start using it. More about that is here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/dapsone-oral-route/description/drg-20063327

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      I suggest you look at your calorie intake. If you're not eating enough calories, your body will signal you to wake up and forage for more food. You need to be eating more calories than a healthy person of normal weight in order to gain weight. Also, your diet is extremely low in fat unless you are eating chicken thighs with the skin on, which I would recommend...

      False blood test positive?

      Since your mother has celiac disease, I would still keep an eye on this as there is a genetic component. Study results vary wildly, but the numbers are that anywhere from 10% to almost 50% of the first degree relatives of those with active celiac disease will themselves develop celiac disease.

      False blood test positive?

      Your initial test showed a moderately raised level of IgA tTG2. There are several causes of this apart from coeliac disease including: inflammation of the joints, bowel and liver. Transient rise in levels can be caused by an infection.

Also, your diet is extremely low in fat unless you are eating chicken thighs with the skin on, which I would recommend. Also be sure to add butter (real butter) to your vegetables. You can measure and record everything you eat, then look up and calculate what your protein/carb/fat intake is. Or just eat more chicken rather than filling up on vegetables and fruit.
