CNN Covers Celiac Disease

A number of people have pointed out the following celiac disease video report running on CNN.
While I really appreciate the mainstream news media covering the serious issue of gluten intolerance symptoms, I want to note that some may find this report a little alarmist while others might find it vague:
I’m not providing it here as a solid reference, but rather as an interesting and hopeful note that a major news organization is taking the matter more seriously. I’m just glad to see celiac disease covered on CNN and celiac disease symptoms discussed in the media in general.
And video is a good format for those who won’t read too much. If you have any friends or relatives who have yet to take the time to read about celiac disease, link them here to watch the video and get a nice summary on the matter. Of course, as usual, they remain somewhat vague about what is gluten, but this video still provides an easily accessible information abut celiac disease.
I should also note that this gluten intolerance video does not cover non-celiac gluten intolerance (NCGS). I appreciate that it is not as established as traditional celiac disease, but stating that a simple blood test will tell you if you’re clear or not is a little misleading.
It also covers the big C (cancer) but doesn’t address more common and still troubling phenomenons like celiac depression.
Anyways, I still hope this is both encouraging and useful to some of my readers.
