Gluten Free Article In Atlanta Paper Today

I was interviewed for this piece, the woman spelled my name wrong (everyone does..lol) but overall she did a decent job. She got the medical info from the NIH, which unfortunately doesn't have the current stats but it's still great exposure for our cause. In the actual paper they have colors photos of the salmon, steak sandwich, choc. cake and Redbridge beer mentioned in the story. It's about 1/3 page in the Better Health section.

The author is the same woman who posted a horridly inaccurate blog about Celiac on the ajc.com site and kimjoy on this site posted about here. At least the author now knows more correct info about Celiac and gluten free dining than she did!

You can view the article for free for six more days.

Thanks for sharing this story! :) You are a celebrity :)

By the way, you mention that she didn't use the latest statistics. Which are you referring to?

Good article, Tiffany! Thanks for sharing it with us.

I did read the author's earlier article, and it looks like she's done her homework this time. How exciting to be interviewed :D

Thanks for posting this, perfect timing! I'm in Atlanta!

We ate dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise. We're staying near the Perimeter Mall and I didn't know about Wildfire. I hope they're open for lunch, or else I'll have to talk Adam into staying tomorrow night, too!

I see someone beat me to it about the article in the Atlanta paper. I read it this morning and thought it was good.

Hay Carla welcome to Atlanta. I hope you enjoy your stay.

In the article it says 1 in 133 have Celiac. It's actually 1 in 100. The NIH site is usually not that up to date...they get changes and it literally takes months for them to be keyed in. This is what someone who works for the government told me anyway. Anyway, this woman (who is a nutritionist after all) is trying to learn and for that I'm thankful.

Carla - have a great time here! Didn't you enjoy the weather (until today...lol)? Wildfire is open for lunch but I've been out at meetings so I did not see your note until now. Lunch is absolutely their best value!

      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.
