Celiac Disease was referenced on the NCIS episode airing 3/31/09(today). The accountant is in interrogation and is about to take his pills and says that the doctors said he might have celiac disease and would have to cut gluten out of his system. He doesn't say that he has the disease, but that doctors are unsure what is wrong with him and he takes pills.

Just thought some might find it interesting that the disease was mentioned again. Its a good thing that it is becoming more popular! :)

I saw it! The man says something like "they think I have Celiac and that I'm eating too much gluten. I didn't even know I was eating "GLUTEN". (he said gluten kind of sarcastically)

I don't watch that show, but my mom does and she mentioned it to me. I'm glad that my mom is so supportive of me! ;)

My question is....what were the pills??....he also mention that "you don't want to be in a small apt with me when I haven't taken my pills".

Did he mean like a pill that subdues anger?? or gas??? haha or WHAT?!?!?!

I suffer from this and several other digestive issues (lactose intolerance and likely irritable bowels)...I pretty much can't win...so I am always looking for answers - doctors have told me mixed things and I don't have the money to pursue it any further (at the moment) while they "guess" - last I heard , one doctor was 90 percent sure that I had Celiac Disease and said my cilia was slightly less than half the size it should be? Sounds like a strong indication, right? Next doctor said the first doctor was wrong (only the first doctor actually tested me...the second doctor saw the results though)...I haven't had the time nor money to pursue this any further.

Anyone have any input about any of these ramblings?

Thanks CL

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
