Celiac Disease was referenced on the NCIS episode airing 3/31/09(today). The accountant is in interrogation and is about to take his pills and says that the doctors said he might have celiac disease and would have to cut gluten out of his system. He doesn't say that he has the disease, but that doctors are unsure what is wrong with him and he takes pills.
Just thought some might find it interesting that the disease was mentioned again. Its a good thing that it is becoming more popular!

I saw it! The man says something like "they think I have Celiac and that I'm eating too much gluten. I didn't even know I was eating "GLUTEN". (he said gluten kind of sarcastically)

I don't watch that show, but my mom does and she mentioned it to me. I'm glad that my mom is so supportive of me!

Me:
Celiac disease(positive blood work/biopsy- 10/2008), gluten free oat intolerent, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis/Disease, Raynaud's Disease

DS2(age 7):
celiac disease(positive IgA tTG, no biopsy- 11/2010)

DS1(age 11):
repeated negative bloodwork and negative EGD/biopsy. Started on a gluten free trial(8/2011). He has decided to stay gluten free due to all of the improvements he has experienced on the diet.

My question is....what were the pills??....he also mention that "you don't want to be in a small apt with me when I haven't taken my pills".

Did he mean like a pill that subdues anger?? or gas??? haha or WHAT?!?!?!

I suffer from this and several other digestive issues (lactose intolerance and likely irritable bowels)...I pretty much can't win...so I am always looking for answers - doctors have told me mixed things and I don't have the money to pursue it any further (at the moment) while they "guess" - last I heard , one doctor was 90 percent sure that I had Celiac Disease and said my cilia was slightly less than half the size it should be? Sounds like a strong indication, right? Next doctor said the first doctor was wrong (only the first doctor actually tested me...the second doctor saw the results though)...I haven't had the time nor money to pursue this any further.

Anyone have any input about any of these ramblings?

Thanks CL
