More info about Dr. Oz's Celiac Show on 12/10
The plot thickens...

I just got this press release, I am assuming from the Dr. Oz show. This should make for a very interesting show. (insert sarcasm here) There was a lot of controversy over Ms. Hasslebeck's G-Free Guide and now she is going to show a newly diagnosed Celiac how to eat properly? Good thing Dr. Green and Dr. Oz will be there to set her straight, just in case. ;-)




On Tuesday, December 10th, Elizabeth Hasselbeck of “The View” with make her “Dr. Oz Show” debut. Her initiation? To examine an actual small intestine, the major organ affected by Celiac Disease.

Elizabeth – along with 3 million other Americans – suffers from Celiac, a condition that is largely misdiagnosed as IBS, and most commonly referred to as a gluten allergy. As you know, it can wreak havoc on your body and even lead to liver disease and cancer!

Having gone for years without a proper diagnosis, Elizabeth felt relief for the first time while travelling to Australia for Survivor in 2001. “Every day there, everyone around me was feeling worse…I started feeling better.” But when she got home and resumed eating a regular, gluten-heavy diet, she immediately felt sick again. According to The View’s most outspoken patriot, she knew either it was a food allergy or she “was allergic to the United States!”

In addition to the small intestine, Elizabeth will also be joined by her physician and leading expert, Dr. Peter Green, Director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University at NY Presbyterian Hospital. Elizabeth will the take Dr. Oz viewer Amy – newly diagnosed with Celiac herself – through her G-Free guide, showing her things to avoid (licorice, beer play-doh) and things to try (quinoa, Glutino products)!

Again, the show airs on Thursday, December 10th (check local listings for station and air time).

Celiac Disease Makes It to TMZ.com
TMZ.com recently reported that the Elisabeth Hasselbeck plagiarism scandal is not over. It also makes me slightly giddy that TMZ actually mentions Celiac Disease. As you know, even lame publicity of Celiac Disease and living gluten-free makes me smile. When I was first diagnosed many years ago, that was unimaginable to me. Here is the article:

Not So Fast, Hasselbeck -- Author Sues Again
Posted Nov 30th 2009 6:00PM by TMZ Staff
The woman who sued Elisabeth Hasselbeck for copyright infringement just won't take no for an answer.

TMZ has learned Susan Hassett just filed her second lawsuit over Hasselbeck's book -- "The G Free Diet" -- even though a judge tossed out Hassett's first suit earlier this month after her lawyer decided not to pursue the case.

Hassett -- who claims Beck's book is a rip-off of her own publication, "Living with Celiac Disease" -- tells TMZ her original lawsuit was shot down because of a technicality ... she failed to provide the necessary copyright information for "Living."

Hassett's new suit, which was filed today in federal court in Massachusetts, includes plenty of copyright info for "Living" ... plus claims that Hasselbeck's book is "misleading and dangerous" to those who suffer from Celiac disease.

Hassett once again wants the court to stop the presses on "G Free" and yank it from bookstores everywhere.

Calls to Hasselbeck's people have not been returned.

Celiac Disease on Gawker
Gawker just published an interesting blog posting about Elisabeth Hasselbeck's book possibly being plagiarized. I am less interested in the posting itself and more interested in the ignorant comments people are leaving about Celiac Disease. Clearly we are all "upper crust", "self diagnosed", "attention seekers" who want a trendy disease. So frustrating!

Celiac Disease Foundation on Hasselbeck's Book
Although I got this information a little late in terms of being able to call into Larry King, I feel that it is an interesting take on Elisabeth Hasselbeck's new book "The G-Free Diet".

Celiac Colleagues:

I am writing to call your attention to the current publicity surrounding the new book, The G-free Diet, A Gluten-Free Survival Guide by Elisabeth Hassselbeck, co-host of The View. While it is important to call attention to celiac disease, the information must be accurate – the inaccuracies in this book are potentially dangerous and detrimental to celiacs and to those yet to be diagnosed if people self diagnose and start eating GF. Our mission is to assist in getting people accurately diagnosed and the message in this book could defeat this mission. It appears that this book is being marketed as a fitness diet – eat g-free and feel so much better. Celiac is incorrectly referred to as an allergy not an autoimmune disease.

The GF diet is the medically mediated prescription that controls the condition for a diagnosed celiac. Several items in the book are misleading and inaccurate and place further limitations on the GF diet. The gluten-free lifestyle is a lifelong commitment for the diagnosed celiac, not an option, not a fad diet – adhering to the GF lifestyle requires patience and persistence. This lifestyle can not be trivialized.

Elisabeth will be interviewed on Larry King Live this evening on CNN. PLEASE take the time to call in to the show or send an email to Larry King Live to help correct some of this misinformation.

Email Larry King Live at: http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form5.lkl.html
The phone number for call-ins to the show is 1-800-676-2100.

Thank you.

Elaine Monarch
Founder & Executive Director

The G Free Diet

Yes, Elisabeth Hasselbeck wrote a book about having Celiac Disease and eating gluten-free. No, I don't plan on reviewing it any time soon. I am not a huge fan of EH, so if I happen upon a free copy perhaps I will read it. Otherwise, please visit the Watching the View blog which has some interesting comments surrounding EH's book and Celiac Disease. Thank you to David at Gluten-Free NYC for this link.

If you would like to see Elisabeth Hasselbeck talk about her book in person, she will be at the Park Ave. Borders in NYC this Thursday.

The G-Free Diet
May 07, 2009 7:00 PM

Manhattan - Park Ave - Borders
461 Park Avenue
New York, NY 10022

Elisabeth Hasselbeck shares her hard-earned wisdom on living life without gluten and loving it. She gives you everything you need to know to start living a gluten-free life, from defining gluten - where to find it, how to read food labels - to targeting gluten-free products, creating G-Free shopping lists, sharing recipes, and managing G-Free living with family and friends.
