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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
