Gut Reaction

Produced by:

Richard Paul

There is a disease you've probably never heard of, but chances are you have it or someone you know or love has it and doesn't know. Doctors now believe that one in 133 Americans have Celiac Disease, though only one in 4,700 gets diagnosed. Celiac Disease is an intestinal disorder where, when you eat wheat, barley or rye, your immune system attacks the food as if it were a virus. The results are devastating and painful. Celiac is more common than diabetes and hypertension, but because the means to diagnose it are only two or three years old, the disease is practically unknown in this country -- both to sufferers and their doctors. Producer Richard Paul presents the story of how Celiac Disease played itself out in the lives of 10 people.

Program Credits

Gut Reaction was produced by Richard Paul. This program is made possible by a grant from the members of the Celiac Sprue Association. Celiacs Helping Celiacs. More information about celiac disease is at the CSA website, www.csaceliacs.org.

The program featured the stories of Cindy Kaplan, Larry Snyder, Desiree Ferrandi, Melissa Lenzen, Cobina Higgins, Kathy Hubbell, Kim Fanelli, Dean Cling, Bill Lock, and Kelly Vogt.
