Npr Story

[lovegrov]

NPR has a story this morning about celiac and the new ingredient guidelines. Pretty good overall. You can find it at the bottom of this site. If it doesn't work for some reason go to npr.org and then click on Morning Edition.

I had several friends call me about this this morning--I caught the tail end of it. I'm trying to get another spot on my local npr channel... Thanks Richard!

Hey, thanks, Richard.

My seventh grade teacher, whom I have kept in touch with sent me an e-mail this morning about a NPR story on Celiac...I wasn't sure if it was the "Gut Reaction" one that was on a few months ago (replaying it?) or not, but it turns out it was new!

I'll have to reply again and thank him for keeping his eyes (well, ears) open for me .

Hi celiac3270,

Don't you just love that....an allergy. I only WISH it was one of my allergies.

they did call it an allergy ?? i haven't listened to it yet. arg....

[lovegrov]

The headline says allergy and they mention allergy, but in the body of the story they also explain the difference between allergy and celiac. I was fine with it.

I was just so happy to even hear the word "celiac" on national news!

I was pretty excited to hear the npr report. Maybe I'm behind the times, but the best news for me was that labelling requirements are changing in January. Those "hidden" wheat and gluten drive me crazy, especially eating out. Even better news...If you have not discoved the "Gluten Free Bible" by Jax Lowell--it's amazingly comprehensive. According to the author, the Center for Celiac Disease at the University of Maryland reports that as many as 1 in 132 individuals in the US may have celiac. That's significant enough that we should be taken seriously!

Thanks, Deb
