Kenmore Commercial!

During American Gladiators (NBC), there was a commercial for a Kenmore refrigerator-- the mother was asking why everything in the house couldn't be in the right place. In this type of refrigerator, everything was in the place it belonged-- look when the kid opens the drawer. I believe there was a box of Wheat Free Van's waffles!!!

Would that be a first, a gluten-free product in a mainstream, nationally advertised commercial?!?!

I saw it too last night. I can't even remember what I was watching- but I am not sure it was a major network. The first time I saw it I thought I was seeing things- a little too much gluten-free food on the brain...and then I saw it a second time!

I saw it too!! I know it's strange, but I got so excited!!! I was actually googling kenmore so I could call or email them and tell them that I appreciated the placement, you know, create more awareness, and I found this thread...

So I actually called the customer service number (I couldn't find an email address) and thanked them for the product placement. The guy I spoke to seamed kind of confused, but said he would pass along my appreciation. I think we all should call. Let them know that we appreciate it. Here's the number: 1-800-469-4663

      Anybody else have a similar experience...theories welcome as its something which i dont really understand.....

      By trents · Posted

      Thanks for getting back to us Geordie. From time to time we do get reports of what seems like remission from those who have been diagnosed with celiac disease but it doesn't always last. I don't recall you saying you have been diagnosed with celiac disease, but just having various food intolerances and also implying in your last post that these intolerances are autoimmune related. So, I don't know where you are with celiac disease which is an autoimmune disorder.

      Update: Just realised i never updated this post with a major development. since May 2023 i can now eat whatever i want 7 days a week. I accidentally ate the same type of food two days in a row and suffered no reaction so immediately realised my body had recovered. And of all places to discover it i was in a 5 star resort in Greece where there was all you can eat breakfast lunch and dinner buffets so yeah you can maybe imagine i tucked in nicely after so many years of not being able to. Been about 18 months now with zero reactions so even though the modern medical way of thinking is that auto immune disease cant be cured....my stomach says different.

      Thanks.  So something has come up on his blood tests and I have an appointment to discuss the findings on Monday. My son has been soya free and dairy free for a while as we did York food testing to check for allergies intolerances.

      Hi @sh00148 I am so glad that your son is going to have a blood test next week.    If the blood test is that soon, and he has been consuming normal levels of gluten up until now, he should have had enough exposure to gluten to test positive should you decide to stop the gluten immediately, as Scott suggest.  However, one thing you may wish to change in the short term instead/as well is to stop him consuming dairy products.  If he is a coeliac, he may have become temporarily dairy intolerant.  The tips of the villi, which line the gut and are damaged in coeliacs, produce lactase, an enzyme essential for the digestion of dairy.  If they are damaged it can contribute to diarrhea and gas.  I had this some months after my own coeliac diagnosis, and it improved no end when I gave up dairy for a while.  Once on a gluten free diet they heal, and most coeliacs can return to consuming dairy. I would have thought that with those bowel issues in a young child what is happening to him is entirely normal.

      Lymph nodes in neck + thyroid issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s understandable to feel frustrated, especially when you’re managing celiac well but still experiencing new, unexplained symptoms. Many people with celiac notice sensations around the neck and jaw area, even without visible swelling. Sometimes, lymph node sensitivity or a tight feeling in the throat can linger as part of the body’s inflammatory response, even if your thyroid and other tests come back normal. It sounds like you’ve been thorough with testing and have seen multiple specialists, which is great. A few things might be worth considering: for some people with celiac, there can be lingering sensitivities to trace gluten, cross-reactive foods, or even certain environmental factors that can cause persistent inflammation. Since you’ve tried antihistamines and a humidifier, you might want to discuss options like different allergy medications or seeing an ENT specialist if you haven’t already. Some find that supplements (like anti-inflammatory options or probiotics) help support overall inflammation reduction, though you should always check with your doctor first. It’s frustrating when you feel the symptoms without an obvious cause, but trust your instincts—hopefully, with persistence, you’ll find answers and some relief soon.
