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?

Gluten- you are busted!

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.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      Ortiz-Sánchez JP, Cabrera-Chávez F, de la Barca AM. Maize prolamins could induce a gluten-like cellular immune response in some celiac disease patients. Nutrients. 2013 Oct 21;5(10):4174-83. doi: 10.3390/nu5104174. PMID: 24152750; PMCID: PMC3820067. AND SEE: Oats Intolerance in Celiac Disease. PLoS Med. 2004 Oct;1(1):e23. doi: 10.1371/journal.pmed.0010023. Epub 2004 Oct 19. PMCID: PMC523841. AND ALSO SEE: Bascuñán KA, Orosteguí C, Rodríguez JM, Roncoroni L, Doneda L, Elli L, Araya M. Heavy Metal and Rice in Gluten-Free Diets: Are They a Risk? Nutrients. 2023 Jun 30;15(13):2975. doi: 10.3390/nu15132975. PMID: 37447301; PMCID: PMC10346754. Celiac disease is one of the most common autoimmune gastrointestinal diseases; over the last decades, its prevalence indicates a mean annual increase in frequency currently calculated at 7.5% per year [23]. celiac disease is triggered by gluten present in the diet and the disease involves autoimmune and inflammatory damage to the small intestine in genetically susceptible individuals. To develop celiac disease a person must inherit the genetic predisposition; however, about one third of the population carries the risk genes and only ~1% of the population develops the disease, indicating that genetics is not sufficient to explain the condition. The environment participates by providing the triggering factor, i.e., gluten, and the disease is activated by environmental factors which, until now, have not been fully understood, among which changes in eating habits and the intestinal microbiota are considered to be significant factors [24,25]; yet, current knowledge is insufficient to explain the mechanisms involved. Currently, the only treatment for celiac disease is a GFD for life. AND ALSO SEE: Dr. Osborne: Although rice is considered gluten-free based on the definition set forth by the FDA, rice does contain a different form of gluten prolamin called orzenin. In my experience, those with known celiac disease or non celiac gluten sensitivity issues do better when avoiding rice.

      @Bebygirl01, if you want to play word games with the term, "gluten", we can do that. The proteins you list in these other cereal grains besides wheat, barley and rye are somewhat different from that found in wheat, barley and rye and, technically speaking, are not "gluten". Technically speaking, "gluten" should only be applied to a particular protein found in wheat, barley and rye. These other cereal grain proteins have their own names (avenin, secalinin, zein, etc). Unfortunately, confusion has been created in popular and pseudo scientific literature by the informal use of the term "gluten" when talking about the proteins found in these other cereal grains such that you sometimes read about "corn gluten", "oat gluten", "rice gluten", etc. But these are actually misnomers, with "gluten" having been added on as an informal appendage to the actual protein names. Having said that, the protein structures of these other cereal grains is close enough to gluten that, for some people, they can cause a celiac type reaction. But this is not true for most celiacs and those who fall into the NCGS category. Apparently, it is true for you. This whole idea that cereal grains are bad for all of us has been popularized by books such as Dangerous Grains for years but it is not a widely accepted idea in the scientific community.

      On my Celiac journey and discovered I was also reacting to other types of gluten. The FDA in it's finite wisdom only classifies 'wheat, barley and rye' as the gluten's to be considered when a company tests for and stamps their products as gluten free. I am curious as to how many of you are aware of the other types of glutens? And another question to those on a 'traditional' gluten free diet , who are also still sick and struggling, are you also reacting to these other types of gluten as listed below? NOTE:  The new movement if you want to call it that, is now called 'grain free' and that is the true definition of gluten free. I no longer suffer with ataxia, confusion, anxiety, depression, OCD, Insomnia, ADD, acid reflux, dermatitis herpetiformis, migraines, headaches, and weight issues all due to going 'grain free'. I hope to reach as many of you out there that are still struggling and unaware of what might be setting you off such as my most recent glutening was from a vegan supplement that contained 'magnesium sterate' and 'glucose syrup' both of which are from Zien (zane) gluten at 55%. I was covered in sores that were bleeding, I was seeing squigly lines when I was trying to drive, had acid reflux, insomnia, and nightmares all from the gluten in Corn. Here are the other types of glutens that Celiacs and Gluten Intolerant people also react to: Wheat -Alpha Gliadin Gluten- 69% Rye - Secalinin gluten-30-50% Oats-Avenin gluten -16% Barley-Hordein Gluten -46-52% Millet-Panicin Gluten-40% Corn-Zien Gluten -55% Rice-Orzenin Gluten-5% Sorghum-Kafirin gluten-52% and Teff-Penniseiten Gluten 11%.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention again that IF thimerosal is used in a flu vaccine the amount of ethylmercury in a single vaccine dose would be extremely small, typically around 25 micrograms (µg) or less. For context, this is much lower than the levels of methylmercury found in some seafood. Ethylmercury is metabolized and excreted from the body much faster than methylmercury. Its half-life in the blood is about 7 days, compared to methylmercury, which can persist for months. The dose of ethylmercury in vaccines is far below the threshold known to cause toxicity so would not require chelation.

      Vaccines

      If you have poor reactions to vaccines, preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals, you may be deficient in Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine is needed in the immune response and production of antibodies.  Thiamine can be depleted by vaccines if you are already low to begin with due to the Malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  Thiamine can be destroyed by sulfide preservatives in vaccines, which can result in the body's poor response to vaccines.  Thiamine also chelates metals which allows those metals to be removed in the feces.  Chelation removes thiamine from the body, resulting in a state of thiamine deficiency.  Sugar alcohols need to be processed through the liver using thiamine.  Again, if you're low in thiamine as many Celiac are because of the Malabsorption of celiac disease, vaccines can be a tipping point, resulting in a thiamine deficient state. High doses of Thiamine required to correct thiamine deficiency states are safe and nontoxic.  Thiamine has no toxicity level.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins need to be taken together because they interact together to sustain health.   References: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25542071/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/
