I wanted to update all of you that Disney not only pulled the Quitting Cold Koala episode of the Jessie show, but the producers read your suggestions and responded! The episode itself was completely rewritten; all references to the gluten-free diet were removed, and the character was actually made to be the hero. And for the many of you who suggested that Disney air a PSA about the gluten-free diet, the channel is now airing a 'Pass the Plate' segment, starring two of Jessie's stars, highlighting gluten-free grains and gluten-free baking: http://video.disney.com/watch/disneychannel-pass-the-plate-gluten-free-grains-4e87a8eadb1a082c295061db Congratulations to all of you, and thank you to the Disney Channel!
