When I read your post I asked myself, who do I know who works for NBC. One person. He has two children with DS, one without. He and his wife went through a lot to have children and refused prenatal testing on all pregnancies, even after having two kids with DS. He would be a super person to interview to present the other side, so I will definitely write to them. Kathy, Liam's mom( 5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I totally agree!! Its funny that celebs think it will make the lose weight... not necessarily the case!! For them it's more of a " fad " diet... for us, it's a lifetime commitment Christie Bessinger http://celiac-scoop.blogspot.com > > Did anyone catch the segment on gluten free diets Wednesday morning? I believe the interest in this topic came about because of Chelsea Clinton's gluten free wedding cake and people were curious as to why she had one. I was very impressed by Dr. Raj's comments and knowledge of Celiac. She definitely dispelled the thoughts that gluten free 'diets' are not a weight loss kind of diet, but a necessary change for millions of Americans. Although the fact that so many celebrities are opting out of gluten is great for us, because it means more options will be opening up, it is important for people to know this isn't a choice for so many of us. > Here's the link in case you missed it: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/38656063#38656063 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'm pretty sure one of the products from the " Pirate's Booty " line was on the glutinous side, too. Last I checked, all of those products are gf, too. I wonder if a food stylist mixed things up, perhaps. --lp ________________________________________ From: [ ] On Behalf Of Harper [flatcat9@...] Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 9:10 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Today Show segment I thought she did mention the need for testing before going GF.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Thanks for posting this! The doctor did mention very clearly that it was important to get tested for celiac before going gluten free because the test wouldn't be accurate otherwise. I do wish she'd mentioned that for people with celiac, it's not just about cutting out gluten but about avoiding cross contamination -- something we all know is difficult to do when eating out at a restaurant or friend's house. Though the intent of the piece seemed mostly to debate the idea that cutting out gluten is a great weight-loss strategy (or rather, from the doctor's point-of-view, to debunk that idea), not to give out information about celiac disease, I think the doctor did a great job emphasizing that a lot of Americans have this disease and it's very serious. So nice to see on national tv. Celiac disease is mentioned fairly regularly in a lot of mainstream women's magazines, too, like Family Circle and Woman's Day (mags my mom subscribed to). Word is getting out! Now if only more restaurants in SF go the message! Sent from my tin can and string. Please excuse mumbling and static. -----Original Message----- From: Pam Newbury <pknewbury@...> Sent: Thu, Aug 12, 2010 9:02 pm Subject: [ ] Today Show segment Did anyone catch the M & M’s on the “gluten†side of the table (gluten-free stuff was on one side; gluten-containing stuff on the other)?
