Joe C And Celiac.. Confused

So I found out that Joe C (the 3'9" rapper that toured with Kid Rock) was actually a celiac and that is the reason his growth was stunted. I looked it up on wikipedia and other sites and it said that he had to take pills and get dialysis because of his disease and he eventually died due to complications with celiac. However, wikipedia also has an article about celiac that says there are no medications for it which I had also heard before (what were the pills/dialysis about?). Also, how would he have died from celiac disease?

Perhaps he was one of the many unfortunate people who go many, many years without proper diagnosis or ignored his symptoms and he developed other health issues due to un-treated celiac.

It sounds like his kidneys shut down, perhaps he had kidney disease also.

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
