Okay, I had to laugh. Now, I know Lupus is a serious disease, and I have some good friends who have it, but I never noticed how often they bring it up on House. I watch it every week and still never noticed... :blink:

I couldn't believe last night's episode, it was a toothpick!! :lol:

That was funny. Now I'll probably giggle every time I watch House and hear lupus. (That would be a fun drinking game.) Friday night I watched a rerun of House on USA and the patients (mother and newborn) had celiac. It was very disturbing. Also strange because celiac was discussed on The View that same day. Until my diagnosis a month ago I had never heard of celiac and now it seems to surround me.

They had celiac on house?? We've only missed a few episodes, so it's one of those.

When ryan explained to a co-worker about why he couldn't eat pizza and always brought delishious-looking food, his friend said "oh like on 'house' that time?". we didn't see it, so we're not sure how accurate it is! Oh well. It is cool tho!

I can't see the lupus link (sidekick, not computer) :(. But I did notice how often they bring up lupus. They think everything is lupus, just like I think everyone's illness is celiac! Ha ha!

That was funny. It made me remember the Seinfield episode where George kept asking his doctor--"Is it Lupus?"

I have to say that last night, I never saw the toothpick coming :D

The Celiac episode on house wasn't like a normal celiac diagnosis. It was about this mom who goes psycho and kills her newborn, and it ends up it was because of the Celiac and the evil gluten made her do it! That was hard for us to swallow. In the end the lady refused to go on the gluten free diet because she wanted to die, and I think at that point she was already having serious complications like intestinal cancer and such.

Of course they had to make it really dramatic, or it wouldn't have made it as an episode, but us Celiacs would have liked to see it have been a bit more normal Celiac symptoms. I think the lady complained of a stomachache once the whole episode. They could have had a patient that was just wasting away to nothing and no one could figure out why they couldn't stop the D or something, and misdiagnosed it as an eating disorder, IBS, and all those other things...you know like lupus! (actually I think they did bring up lupus in that episode...)

I loved the House Celiac episode......I didn't have a stomach ache until about the last two years before dx, but was seriously and increasingly depressed (bipolar type II) my whole life......so even though it was a crazy and extreme case on House, I was glad that it dealt with it in a mental sense.....

besides, it might have been too boring for House to just show a Celiac with alternating diarrhea, constipation, and doubled over with stomach cramps and tripped up by brain fog - they always seem to need some sort or psychotic episode thrown in :P

I feel like celiac is everywhere around me nowadays too! Weird how that happens!

They think everything is lupus, just like I think everyone's illness is celiac! Ha ha!

I wonder how true that is...I'm seriously convinced that my husband, and several friends have celiac disease....

If you are going to post something like this, please begin your post with "SPOILER ALERT". I have a weird schedule and have to Tivo stuff and watch it later in the week, and I had not seen this episode yet.

Thank you

Sorry. :( Next time I won't tell...I didn't even think about Tivo. I don't even have cable! :lol: I heard a comercial the other day advertising a satelite dish that said"if you have cable, your are in the dark ages". My husband and I laughed and said we are in the pre-historic age! We use an antenna...

I DO have Lupus and I think it's great that House always mentions it, it's got all of you talking about it and possibly researching it,........ raising awareness...... that's what it's all about.

hp,

Did you see the "valley girl" extra clips fron House season 2 on u-tube? It came up after we watched the lupus clip one. There are at least two different ones. Pretty funny.

best regards, lm

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
