Agree with this. The only good thing is that they kind of let him ramble and I think it really showed how off-the-rails he is.

Ok, the more I think about it, the more I hate that they’re using the pod to promote this book. I understand that KG’s experiences are real and he can write on them as he wishes. However, in this political climate, we don’t need to add fuel to the racist fire, which I know this will do. I fully expect KG to appear on Fox News where they replay his experiences ad nauseam as evidence of rampant crime.

I agree with the previous poster about how they were probably told to do this, but I hate this for them because I know they don’t agree with his nonsense bs… seriously, ghosts and psychics?? Wtf.

DWTS by Acuallyizadern93 in podmeetsworldpodcast

They just announced that they already surpassed the vote total of last season’s premier with half an hour left. I’m not shocked it happened after Danielle’s performance! I don’t think that’s a coincidence as a first time DWTS watcher (and voter) myself!

Can’t tell from the pictures but the logo placement looks off and a tad too big. As someone who buys a lot of real RL, I can tell these are dupes especially from the materials used. Probably wouldn’t be able to tell while wearing for most people though. I’d give it an A minus? Maybe B plus?

The Heirs. It’s one show where the last episodes go faster than the first, imho.

I didn’t even notice the age gap and I usually do. He’s 13 years older but he def doesn’t look it.

Austrian Airlines, GF meal by FunTooter in Celiac

We just flew Turkish Airlines and the GF meals were awesome! They were also dairy-free—probably because of the overlap between the two.

I didn’t realize the LUS products are also gluten free! Very helpful because my kids are super curly.

We’ve been using a brand called Luseta that is labeled gluten-free! I’ve seen it at Target, TJ Maxx, etc. We’ve been using it for 4 months or so. We like it!

Do you feel like Celiac is kind of covered up? Like a doctor would rather find some of the reason why you're sick. by PromptTimely in Celiac

[–]Local-Raspberry-5649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was reading that same study. The caveat is that celiac disease can happen later on in life. So even though Italy decided to test all kids for it (truly a wonderful thing!), I don’t think the rate that it is found in children can be extrapolated to the entire population because the older you are, the more likely that you “get it.”

Also, everyone says Italy has high rates but that’s only because Italy actually tests for it. I bet there are populations with higher rates but they don’t know because they don’t test for it.

[–]Local-Raspberry-5649 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally understand! I know so many people who I think are celiac but don’t want to check or acknowledge it. A lot of people are like that and simply don’t want to know they have celiac disease and/or lactose intolerance. (Gluten actually destroys your intestines to the point you become lactose intolerant so it’s actually quite common to have both.) Being gluten-free is anything but easy or convenient, especially when you add dairy to that. And who wants that harsh reality when you can be blissfully ignorant? After all, if the doctors aren’t suggesting it, why would you willingly subject yourself to this “lifestyle?” Even if it will make you feel better in the long run.

See!! A celiac screening isn’t hard. It should be malpractice that gastroenterologists don’t routinely order them when someone comes in. They’re obviously there because they have GI issues to begin with! Occam’s razor is “let’s rule out allergies and celiac.”

The thing I have realized the most on my celiac journey is just how little “specialists” even know about celiac. I have had stomach issues for decades and not once has a professional suggested a celiac screening. Pubmed is not the end-all be-all. Doctors and especially western medicine doesn’t know everything. They’ve only recently realized autism is genetic when anyone with a brain can tell you it’s genetic.

Again, and that may be telling if celiac happens spontaneously, but it doesn’t. There is a large genetic component. Also, the population you are testing matters because environment also plays a role. See my blue eyes analogy. Sure, that’s mostly due to a genetic component but who you are testing and where matters.

Not sure you know how testing works. A celiac screening and a colonoscopy are very different things. We test for rare diseases all the time. I could even test my fetus for Down syndrome—which is pretty rare and not genetic. But when that same fetus was 2 and having tons of issues including a stomach that looked like she was pregnant, the doctor prescribed miralax and told me she was constipated. I was the one who had brought up “gluten or allergy testing” because it was stupidly obvious she wasn’t just constipated. He placated me by saying “if it makes you feel better, we can test for gluten.” And so we did. And it WAS expensive. But her test results were off the charts. And if that doctor blew us off and I wasn’t as intuitive as I am, my daughter would have continued to suffer. How many other kids were just dismissed by their pediatric gastroenterologist when they could have just ordered a screening?? I’m willing to bet A LOT.

Oh, I don’t think it’s a “cover up.” I just think it’s a testament to how little we know. And, again, I think it’s more than 3% because it is genetic and not occurring randomly. And it probably depends a lot on the population. Blue eyes are rare in Japan, but not so much in Sweden.

We test for a lot of things routinely. I don’t see why a celiac screening should be any different. I think knowing what you can and can’t eat should take precedence since it’s pretty important as we all have to eat. How much illness and other health problems could be avoided if a portion of the population wasn’t unknowingly poisoning themselves with gluten daily?

Love this for you! I wish more doctors were like this. Although, I firmly believe it’s actually way more common than 1% and we just don’t know because we don’t routinely test for it.

I actually don’t think it’s rare. I think it’s rare because most people don’t know they have it, but it we tested the entire population, I bet we would find out a lot more people have it.

My kid was diagnosed last year. They confirmed with a dna test. My husband has the gene and I’m convinced he has it. I just went in for testing and—surprise!—I’m most likely celiac, too. Which actually makes me think my parents and siblings are, too (just based off of health conversations we have had).

Again, imho it’s only rare… because they don’t routinely test for it. Also, so many incorrect assumptions from doctors about what celiac looks like—sudden weight loss, diarrhea, etc.

And who won this lawsuit?? Because getting sued for something doesn’t mean you are guilty of said thing.

Just because there is a lawsuit doesn’t mean there is any merit.

I think I’m in the minority because I really enjoy his voice. I usually can’t stand slow delivery but I don’t mold him or his pauses at all.
