Celiac Humor

I have lived with Celiac Disease for over 37 years. Though not so funny back then, most of my humorous stories would have to be from the "pre-diagnosis through diagnosis" period. However, the other day- during a brief moment of enlightenment- I came up with my first "Celiac" joke. I hope you enjoy it...

***Jeff Ash's Truly Original Celiac Joke***

While ordering dinner the other night, I was going through my usual routine of telling the waitress what I could, and couldn't, eat off of the menu. Somewhat confused, the waitress asked me what happened if I ate foods containing wheat, or gluten.

I told her that it was somewhat embarrassing and that I didn't feel comfortable discussing it in public. She told me that her mother used to be an RN and that she had heard everything. The waitress told me not to be embarrassed and to tell her what my symptoms were.

I told her that gluten gave me an erection that lasted over 4 hours.

She quickly turned away from the table, but in an instant she returned and placed a basket of rolls, and a loaf of french bread on the table.

"I get off at 9 o'clock" she said.

I hope I haven't offended anyone and that you enjoyed this joke as much as my friends and I have.

I got's chuckle on that one! At least the waitress responded to your situation eh? ;) There is a gab chat forum where the more serious, high brow types around here hangout. They even have a funny pages thread for the more erudite discussions of psillyac life. They recently lowered the entry requirements to only 3 phd's so people like me can occasionally visit too. They don't know all mine are E-bay phd's so shhsshh..!

The funny pages (for high brows ornerly)

Along those same lines... sort of.. when I was first talking to my physician about a possible diagnosis he was reading off the notes his assistant had made before he entered the room. He was asking general health questions when he read and re-read my chart and then asked why I was interested in Cialis. I was taken aback for a moment before I realized that even my spell check refuses to recognize the word "celiac." Once we cleared that up we were off and running towards a correct diagnosis. Add brussel sprouts to the mix and there is no need for the bread basket whatsoever.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      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?
