I've contacted a company named Awareness-Depot, they got all kinds of stuff for Breastcancer, Childabsue, you name it- but guess what, nothihng aobut Celiac desease. since aobut on in 133ericans has Celiac but only one in 5000 gets diagnosed in his life time, knowing what this desease can do ect., I do think things like Wristband are a cool thing. Yes, they are out there but what I actually look for are cool car-magnets! I contacted that company asking if they got anything for/aboout Celiac! They answered as of this time not but they will seriously consider it and if I got any suggestions! Well, wristbands are out there but I actually want some supercool carmagnets for example, how many times have you read other poeples stickers on the car while waiting behind them in the traffic? since they are open for stuff and willing to accomodate I'd like to send them some input back as requested!

Any ideas for cool sayings on Car-Magnets for / about/against Celiac you'd buy too- stuff you'd stick on your car too ect.! Letyour phantasie run wild! I got some ideas but not so special or cool!

Celiac-Desease- one in 133 Americans has it, you too?

Celiac-the silent devil in your gut!

We are Gluten-free, we live life!

Gluten- who needs that?

That's a great idea. Most people have never heard of Celiac disease and this would be a great way to help others become aware of it. Can you have two lines?

Bloated?

Maybe one of those red "no" circles with the bar going across a bunch of wheat.

Celiacs go against the grain.

Got more gas than your car? Think Celiac.

Just say NO to gluten.

Celiac on board.

I'm gluten-free!

And my body thanks me for it.

Yeah, so they're not all winners. Will put more thought into this once the coffee has kicked in.

There are evidently some out there. Some local group members attended a CSA conference and brought back some green ribbon style car magnets.

"Got more gas than your car? Think Celiac."

I vote for this one! Now if we could just think of a way to turn all of that "self-produced gas" into some sort of bio-fuel and capitalize in it . . . . . :lol:

The University of Maryland's Center for Celiac Research (Dr. Fasano's group) sells bracelets and magnetic ribbons on their website (Open Original Shared Link). Maybe other groups do as well.

Bumper stickers would be nice, too. Especially if some/all of the proceeds were to go to research, or kids' camps, etc.

If we can't find them we may be able to make them up ourselves. I know there is at least one place in my small city where they make those advertising things you can put on your car, the stuff made with a plastic that just sticks there. I love the "Got more gas than your car? Think Celiac" perhaps an after Xmas project will be to see if I can make some up and where. If I find a way cheap and easy I'll let you all know.

A couple more:

CFS FIBRO MIGRAINES ARTHRITIS??? Check for CELIAC

Existing on Pills? Try living without gluten

Fantastic idea!

I'd love to see something that competes with all the drug ads we are inundated with. You know, how they show all these people's tummies, and say something like, "bloating? ask your doctor for a prescription for ________."

Well, why not one that says,

"Tired of paying for all those prescriptions that are supposed to help your tummy problems, joint pain, exhaustion? Notice that they don't fix what's CAUSING them, they just--hopefully-- help the symptoms a little bit? You might have celiac disease---the easiest and cheapest disease in the world to FIX-- without buying a thing!

for more info, go to WWW.CELIAC.COM"

The problem is, the pharm industry pays millions for marketing and advertising. We need to convince newspapers and magazines to run articles or ads or whatever to increase awareness not just of the existence of celiac, but of the enormous amount of damage the medical system is doing to people with celiac, those who are being told to take medicine after medicine but are never given a clue that their problems might be caused by what they're eating.

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref. ID:1335211 Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix.               On Friday, December 6, 2024, 1:04 PM, Consumer <baking@continentalmills.com> wrote: December 06, 2024   Dear Janie, Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding our Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix. We appreciate your interest and are happy to provide you with additional information. This product does not contain gluten. However, it is not manufactured in a gluten free facility. If I can be of further help, please contact me at 1 (800) 457-7744, weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (PT), or visit www.alpinecider.com and select "Contact Us." Sincerely, Kristin Kristin Consumer Relations Specialist Ref # 1335211   I hope this helps everyone.  I am currently looking for a spiced hot apple cider drink and have yet to find one that is not made in a plant that manufactures other gluten products.  It's so frustrating.

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.
    • Rogol72
      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.
