Atlanta Journal Constitution Blog About Gluten Intolerance

So I found this link, titled, What's Up with 'Gluten-Free Food'?" on the homepage of AJC.com today. It leads to a blog entry "Got Gluten?"by a registered dietitian, of all people, who I felt has a real lack of understanding about gluten intolerance and Celiac Disease. I left a (long, okay very, very looong) response to try to help set the record straight. It would be great if other people on the board could take a moment to do the same (you don't have to drone on like I did). ;)

Grrr. Maybe this just caught me on the wrong day but this really rubbed me the wrong way. :angry:

Yes, yours was a great response. I'm glad you pointed out, among other things, that Celiac Disease is an autoimmune condition.

Just for the record, I was not the "Patti" who authored the first response. :D I'm not looking for a pill!

Wow, that woman's blog really offends me. She writes very ill-informed opinions, instead of factual information. Yikes.

One of the posters said that MSG (G - gluten) is also incorrect. MSG may not be very good for anyone, but it has nothing to do with gluten.

JoR, nice letter as well.

Bumping this a bit, in case others didn't get the chance to read the responses to the article.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      Depending on which source you research sprouting or fermentation can reduce lectins. I sprout rice, buckwheat and quinoa. However, I admit that gas and intestinal inflammation still plague me after 5 1/2 mo gluten-free. I have been resisting but I may try the aip diet at some point.

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      Hi @jadeceoliacuk I am a UK based coeliac and I have used a private nutritionist a few times. She is very highly qualified and having just googled her details, she is listed on this website (see link). For that reason, I think you could trust the listings here as I am quite sure she would not want to associate with this website unless it was a...

      thank you knitty kitty. I will give those articles a read. Yes he is deficient in Iron and Vit D, that is all they tested for. Do you have any tips for finding a pediatric nutritionalist?

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      Yes, Lisinopril gave me an inguinal hernia from the persistant cough. Amlodipine doubled urine output and dry eyes so I could not wear contacts, another had me walking bent over like a ninety year old and one knocked out control of my quadracepts so knees would give out. None lowered my blood pressure. Average BP 132/67 for Oct 21 - 26. Lowest was 10...

      What Brands of Energy Bars are Gluten-Free?

      In general if you see "gluten-free" on a label in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., it does mean that the food is safe for those with celiac disease, and it does NOT mean that there is 19ppm gluten in it, as some people might lead you to believe. Whenever a company detects gluten in the 5-19ppm (most tests can't accurately go below this level...
