There will be an episode of Mystery Diagnosis on The Learning Channel dealing with Celiac this week. (I think it's Thursday, but I'm not sure.)

Yep, unfortunately. Sometimes they will put things on the regular Discovery or TLC from the health channel to promote the health channel, but not on a regular basis. It costs way too much for me to extend my cable to include the health channel, darn it. But a friend at work saw that program already and told me about it (and this was after I had a fiasco at a seminar where the meal was provided, banquet style). He said that the mother had celiac disease, didn't realize that her boy had it too, as he was asymptomatic. But he did have learning/memory problems. It was because of that that he was dx with celiac disease. My friend said that she was feeding him healthy foods, but starving him at the same time because of the malabsorption issues. At least ONE person in my office has a better understanding of what I can experience if glutened.

My boss saw it, told me all about it. It was cool, I think she understands it alot more now. She's been cool about it but has been hinting that I've been kinda hypochodriacing a little. I flipped out at someone cause they were eating a sandwich and just walked up and put thier hand in the bag of Cheetos I was munching on, I just gave him the cheetos. She thought I was overreacting, and now she's like "wow, its really hardcore and they think lots of people have it" So its getting out there, slowly.

I couldn't watch it unfortunately. But I'm starting to get interested. What's that? Catatonic seizure like episodes...? testing for epilepsy...? I didn't know, that was possible. Waaay long ago in germany I once had a blood test and my doctor told me, that I have to be careful not to get an epileptic attack??? (not sure what you call this in english???) What's this? And how could he find out with a normal blood test??? Weird...

it's hard to describe... in my case I had periods where I would "zone out" where I was aware of everything going on around me but I couldn't respond at all, and outward appearances looked like I was daydreaming or just not paying attention... but I also had episodes where I would involuntarily jerk all over for a few seconds and forget everything I was saying right before it happened.

Neurological disorders are now being recognized as being connected to celiac and gluten intolerance, the boy on the show didn't have any digestive symptoms, only neurological ones.

Sounds like me, but I never actually "zoned" out!

This is great that they chose to showcase smoeone with neurological symptoms. I find it hard for people to comprehend (believe) how much gluten effects my brain. I think you say food intolerance and people just figure if you eat too much of that food you'll have to run to the bathroom. FOr me it's nothing like that. It's good that they are shattereing the celiac myth of it just being a GI problem.

I had few gut issues, it was all weight, mental and fatigue issues. The brain fog would get so bad I was like a zombie sometimes.

If you go to the Discovery Health Channel website, offshoot of Discovery Channel, they offer you a chance to find out when a show will re aired; and enter in the title of it and they'll email you when it's on next time.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
