Elizabeth Hasselbeck was on Leno last night. She has a new book coming out that is called "Cooking without the G." G meaning gluten. She has Celiac Disease. I didn't know that. The appearance was pretty disappointing. Leno cut her off pretty abruptly when she tried to go into talking about Celiac. Earlier in the interview thy did get in much about the election that has been over for months now. So much for discussing issues that are timely. Anyway...I think she said the book comes out on May 4th. Generally speaking I find her somewhat annoying but wouldn't mind seeing what she had to say about her life with Celiac and seeing some of her cooking tips.

I've been looking forward to this book for a while now. I'm glad it will be available soon!

The actual title is "The Gluten-Free Diet: A Gluten Free Survival Guide" and it's due out May 4. I just checked the two big book sellers online and both have it available for pre-order.

That's disappointing that Leno cut her off when she tried to talk about it. :(

That is disappointing.

I was all set to watch, and fell asleep during the monologue <_<

Yeah it was extremely disappointing. Naturally, I always perk up whenever I hear the word gluten or celiac on TV. He even went so far as to make jokes about it being a weight loss book on how to keep your g-spot or something lame like that. I think he thought it was just like another book about a fad diet or something. He'd obviously not done his research and had no clue what the book was about.

Bah! I realize it's an entertainment show, and I wouldn't expect an in depth discussion about Celiac or any other health issue, but too bad he had to turn the whole thing into a joke. I wish I had recorded it..... :angry:

She was doing publicity last year about going VEGAN on top of being gluten free, for weight loss, and since she's such a flake anyway, it hasn't helped her reputation.

It's very difficult to eat vegan and gluten free and get enough nutrients, it can be done, theoretically, but realistically, does she do it with her schedule and public appearances, and stay gluten- free ?

What good is a book if you need a chef to have enough time to prepare all your meals for you, if you get my drift.

Hasselbeck isn't my favorite celeb either, but at least she does bring up celiac disease often. I've heard her mention it several times on "The View," back when I was able to watch it while working from home.

I noticed in your closing that you had microscopic colitis.. I also was diagnosed with microscopic colitis 3 years after my celiac diagnosis. I wonder if that is common in the celiac community. Unfortunately, now I have gastroparesis. Maybe there is a connection to the 3 conditions.

PS Elizabeth Hasslebeck is ok...I do wish Leno had let expound a bit more. We need more people to speak out on behalf of people who live with gastric distress issues.

Hi and welcome, Kenny--I sent you a PM :)

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?

      Celiac pain relief

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana

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

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.
