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

      You got some bum steers my friend. I have little confidence that you can trust your test results as differentiating between NCGS and celiac disease. And I think you would be much more likely to have gotten that note you need if you had been diagnosed with celiac disease.

      For the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, they said 7 days of gluten. So I did 8...fast food and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. For the earlier blood test, the younger doctor said I didn't have to. My immune system went down, I was in the bathroom a lot, and as my wife said my brain wasn't braining.

      How long was your gluten challenge? I hope it was longer than a week. If not, your testing was likely invalid. Recently upgraded guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks prior to either the blood antibody test draw or the endoscopy/biopsy. And...

      "Commit in a serious way to the gluten-free diet"....I've been Gluten-free since 2008. That's why I was so sick and had to take nausea and bloating medications during the gluten challenge week prior to the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed by the gastroenterologist. The "younger" doctor (the internal medicine who did the blood test), said the antibodies...

Recently upgraded guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks prior to either the blood antibody test draw or the endoscopy/biopsy. And if you had been gluten free for all those years, you likely had lost any tolerance to gluten you may have had when consuming it regularly. That's probably why it was such a tough sledding experience. Before I was diagnosed, I had very minor GI symptoms. Now, after many years of being gluten free, I get violently ill for hours if I get a good slug of gluten, like when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with the gluten free ones she made me.

      "Commit in a serious way to the gluten-free diet"....I've been Gluten-free since 2008. That's why I was so sick and had to take nausea and bloating medications during the gluten challenge week prior to the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed by the gastroenterologist. The "younger" doctor (the internal medicine who did the blood test), said the antibodies should remain in your system and you don't have to eat gluten (i.e., blood test last year). Hence my posting on finding a good doctor.
