12. Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Elisabeth Hasselbeck, former co-host of The View and contestant on Survivor, suffers from Celiac Disease. Prior to her Celiac diagnosis, Hasselbeck was misdiagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. While taking her treatment prescribed by doctors, she saw that her health was still not getting better. Her time on Survivor led to her finally being properly diagnosed. During an interview with Everyday Health, Hasselbeck said, “Celiac disease is a gateway disease. If you leave it untreated, you’re asking for intestinal cancer or diabetes or some other form of malfunction in your body.” Since her diagnosis, Hasselbeck has been an advocate for Celiac Disease and published her book, The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide in 2008 to help other people living with Celiac Disease maintain a healthy lifestyle.
