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.

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      By MelissaClinPsyD · Posted

      A confirmed diagnosis of refractory coeliac disease is required to participate in the study unfortunately. Apologies you are feeling miserable even though you have remained gluten-free, I hope you are able to receive further understanding as to why from the relevant medical professional. I am hoping to provide copies of the content used in this study following its completion end of this year so will make a note to post on here when the study is complete, a copy of the resources used from the group.

      Do you think it’s a vitamin issue that could make celiac symptoms worse during recovery ?

      Multivitamin products are seldom potent to offset the vitamin and mineral deficiencies that typically result from long term undiagnosed celiac disease. We commonly recommend sublingual B12, a B-complex 5-10k IU of D3, 400 mg daily of magnesium glycinate, and zinc picolinate. The forms of certain vitamins like magnesium and zinc are important since it has a significant impact on absorbability. If you live near a Costco, the Kirkland Signature series and Nature Made lines are good quality choices and economical. And they will indicate on the packaging if they are gluten free.

      Are you addressing possible/probable vitamin and mineral deficiencies through some serious supplementation?
