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

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
