“To a viewers, we perceived your feedback about tonight’s ‘Jessie’ part that some of we accessed early on Video-on-Demand,” Disney pronounced in a matter on a official Facebook page. “We are stealing this sold part from a unchanging programming report and will re-evaluate a references to gluten restrictions in a character’s diet. Please accept a apologies for a dissapoint this part caused we and your family. We value your feedback and appreciate we for examination Disney Channel.”
The “Jessie” episode, called “Quitting Cold Koala,” revolved around a teen nanny who was tasked with holding caring of a child named Stuart, who needs a gluten-free diet. Several jokes are done about his condition, including a categorical impression Jessie indicating out that Stuart had a five-page list of his dietary requirements.
“You call me sweetie again, and you’ll be eating some gluten-free knuckles,” one impression says to Stuart after he gets her a gift.
Another wisecrack has a child throwing pancakes during Stuart as he screams “gluten!” and wipes his face.
“He creates me demeanour macho,” another child who sees a incident, says.
Some viewers who have been privately influenced by celiac disease, that requires patients to be treated with a gluten-free diet, were angry about a show’s glibness towards a disorder.
“There were tears in my daughter’s eyes, and my son’s fist was clenched (when they were examination a episode),” Amy Raslevich told a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Raslevich is a mom of dual children with celiac disease, that is a digestive illness that causes repairs to a little intestine and stops a physique from interesting nutrients from food.
People with celiac illness can’t eat gluten, that is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. When people with a commotion eat a protein, their defence complement destroys little protrusions backing a little intestine called villi, that concede nutrients to be taken from food. Without villi, people turn malnourished no matter how most food they eat.
A Jul 2012 investigate estimates that 1.8 million Americans have celiac disease, though usually 1.4 million people might not even know about it.

- Modern wheat a “perfect, ongoing poison,” alloy says
Gluten-free diets are required for people with celiac disease, though they have also turn a breakthrough diet for some. About 1.6 million Americans are on a gluten-free diet, either they need to be or not. People who do not need to equivocate gluten might rise deficits in fiber, folate, niacin and zinc by gripping a despotic diet.
“The initial year (after diagnosis) was literally like a death,” Raslevich said. “That’s a best approach for me to report it. They went by all of a stages of grief. There’s zero else that they can do, and they aren’t going to outgrow it. It was tough, and it still is.”
Raslevich started an online petition on Change.org to ask a Disney Channel to stop airing “Quitting Cold Koala”and to stop regulating gluten-intolerance as a approach to harass children with a disability. Several bloggers also explained their disgust, and a thread on a website Reddit was started on a issue.
“Their condition is real, and their feelings are real,” Raslevich wrote on a petition. “They are ostracized for a condition for that they did not ask, and since of that they will spend their whole lives carrying to make exceptions and special requests, all to keep them healthy and safe. They will mostly feel released or different, since they have to be to equivocate critical illness. Yet Disney gave children permission, and an example, to serve besiege my children and others like them since of their medical conditions.”
