What if we 😳 deamidated our glutamine residues 😳 after lunch PS whether or not you have GN's health issues, eating this extreme for that long will cause nutritional deficiency, of which the symptoms will look similar to what GN had
When i have no money and have to survive on instant noodles i lose quite some weight, but what kind of being "broke" allows you to eat 6,6 pounds of instant noodles per day? 1 Cup noodle is about 0,1 pounds (70 g) soooo it's like he spent more than 15$ per day on food... emmmm
I thought for sure at first it was scurvy. n.b. My dad lost all his teeth to scurvy in Auschwitz, and it's probably what contributed to his severe cardiovascular disease; he died of his third heart attack at age 59.
I just watched this same guy in the Chubby Emu vid as the guy who soaked his pean & balls in herbicide then wore a diaper before ultimately succumbing to Paraquat poisoning. His name is Wolfgang! 😂❤
@@beyerdr Yesterday I was trying to figure out where I recognise Jon Hamm from. It might just be that I've seen this guy in several Chubbyemu videos before.
If you're ever feeling bad about your choices in life, just remember that this man went from swallowing an earbud to becoming a world-renowned doctor, to a sketchy food truck operator, and then back to eating 600 lbs of noodles & telling a nurse he's not pregnant but "here to deliver", without missing a beat.
I admire ChubbyEmu for not only hiring these actors, but also managing to somehow find the sets to film this. For example, how did they get something that looks like a mostly empty auto body shop? All of this stuff can't be cheap.
@@ChesterChi3 oh yeah the production cost & quality definitely aren't cheap, that's for sure. That's also not to mention the actors who consistently portray the characters continuing to come back so it must be good enough compensation, and that doesn't necessarily mean outright monetary value - for a number of smaller actors, the sheer level of exposure from a video on this channel alone would be potentially enough, but he brings back the same people time and again and they keep coming back so it's obviously a mutually beneficial relationship!
I've been celiac for about 3 years now. Believe it or not it was anemia that led me and my doctor to even suspect this disease. I cannot even imagine the misery that man would be going through eating that much gluten. I've been put down for 2 days eating a single sausage that had gluten in it. That poor man.
thanks for sharing. glad they were able to find it for your case. my colleague shared a story with me once of a patient who had severe anemia and went all the way to get a referral to a hematologist (blood doctor) for what she thought was blood cancer. everything was inconclusive for years. until the patient was finally referred to a gastroenterologist who scoped the patient to find Celiac. it's not always an obvious diagnosis
@@chubbyemu I can really relate to this video, Dr Bernard, as I have celiac that went undiagnosed/untreated for a long time. I just finished my (hopefully) last chemo treatment for celiac-related lymphoma and should know soon if I'm in remission. What crazy timing for this video, thanks!
@@chubbyemu That's so true. I had a client who had gone over ten years without a correct diagnosis. She had so many issues from having it so long. I was the couples accountant, not doctor, but I was constantly on her husband's case for bring home gluten foods she'd always loved. This was back in the 90's, not so much specially made gluten free food.
Every time I’ve visited England (I’m originally from Illinois and now live in Florida) I’ve had sausages, and I can taste that most of them contain bread, or rusk, as it’s called. Much less common here in the USA: they add extra fat or organ meats or occasionally soy grits, but not usually bread. Might some American sausages contain gluten? Maybe.
@@markiangooley You're not wrong - most British sausage recipes do contain rusk. However, good-quality butcher's sausages are much less likely to contain gluten-containing foods. As always, checking the packaging (for chain-bought foods) or asking a store employee (for butchers, greengrocers, etc. - basically, anywhere they handle the food themselves, including restaurants) is essential if you have a food sensitivity of any kind. (And just to head the argument off: I'm aware that sensitivity may not be the correct term to cover everything like coeliac disease, allergies and alpha-gal syndrome. I'm just not aware of a better one.)
I want to thank you @Chubbyemu. I had had bloating, nausea and abdominal pain for a year and the doctors couldnt figure out why when this video released. My blood test showed no antibodies, so my GP told me it wasnt celiac but she was gonna refer me to a specialist since nothing had improved over a year. After biopsy and genotype testing im now diagnosed with celiac without anitbody production, and having my first meeting with a dietitian tomorrow.
Celiac patient here. I cook my own food and it is mostly bland. The hardest part for me is not the cooking part or scrutinizing every bit of food that gets to my mouth but the belittling from family members or "friends" that think I am exaggerating especially when I say I don't eat in any restaurant or accept food without knowing where and how it was cooked. Celiac disease is an esoteric topic and most people will look at you as crazy or outright mock you when you try to explain it.
i think this is mocked often because of the many people who are able to eat gluten but stop doing it to get "healthier" or even to "detox". they demand everything to be gluten free but base it on nothing. people who are really sick then are mixed up with those.
As a vegan, I surely ask a lot of questions, and sometimes multiple times over when someone else is cooking for me. I don't want anyone doing me a "favour" when dinning at a restaurant and adding animal product. I often just cook at home because it is less stressful and I know all the used ingredients. I also stopped going to family Thanksgivings years ago, because I did not like extended family members wanting me to eat meat like I was a freako for not doing so. If your friends and family don't understand your medical needs to avoid gluten, just stop hanging out with them. It sounds like they do not respect you. Who knows when they will test you out and slip in some gluten to your food. It can also be difficult or impossible for people to imagine the consequences of your disease, due to their lack of experience, but it is not necessarily your job to try to teach the unwilling-to-learn.
@@ellicesanchez3194Of course, the vegan gives the advice of just cut-off connections from loved ones and friends over a diet. That's horrible advice and an easy way to be lonely. "If you disagree with what I eat I shouldn't talk to you again" How about conflict resolution conversations?
Okay, maybe I don’t know anything, but why does gluten free = bland? Like, potatoes and rice exists. Is there gluten in salt and spices? To me it just sounds like you should read a few books and try experimenting more in the kitchen. If you’re trying to recreate things that are normally great (bread, pasta, etc) Don’t. It almost always sucks, and if it is good there’s all sorts of gums, modifiers, or other crap.
@cattfischh sure spices exist, but who's to say that the spice's manufacturer exclusively produces that product. Although something in itself doesn't have gluten the plant may not sanitize after switching spice dispensing. Also is it sooooo much easier to cook with less products because you risk less exposure
When I saw the title and heard that the man came in with delusions, my first thought was “Huh, I have to wonder if he has Celiac’s disease like the woman in the “A Woman Drank a Liter of Soy Sauce” video.” And I was right! It goes to show how good Chubbyemu is at teaching complex medical subjects when I can remember, understand and apply information from a video he released 4 years ago. Thank you for the work you put into educating your audience- it’s working.
Its true. Back when I was binging his videos, I felt like I was getting crammed full of decades of professional medical experience and knowledge in an effective and memorable way. I would almost go as far to as say that if you're becoming a doctor, forget your normal curriculum and just watch all of these instead.
I always hear this man's voice in my head when I'm about to do something stupid, and it reaffirms that I should not do the thing. You could say this channel has saved my life in a way.
You know I was also a student one time..and food is the most important thing... this is the most important lesson I have learnt... so eat good food... healthy... otherwise you are committing a crime against urself... or ur future...
@phaethon I too survived on Ramen Noodles and hot chocolate for an entire winter season...hope that never happens again. After surviving that way for that long of a time span, I tried too eat Ramen Noodles and became ill. I eventually could eat Ramen Noodles again, but it took months before that happened...be careful how often you eat Ramen Noodles, I was eating noodles for 2 meals a day, everyday for about 4 months.
Try porridge oats. Better for you - very good for the heart. In jamaica they mix it with milk, honey and peanut butter . In Scotland they have it with water and salt.
I feel sorry for his situation. He obviously went through harsh conditions. I'm happy he got a supportive wife and especially a diagnosis (although late). Glad he could recover from that condition.
@@smthnew861 instant ramen is about 10 cents per ounce * 4 pounds a day (i think thats what the video said) * 16 oz per pound would be $6.40 a day so yeah that guys wrong lol i literally had to make 3 separate replies cuz youtubes a terrible website but i deleted the other 2
No, $15 is right if you’re eating the cups. You might be talking about the packets though 1:20 shows .52 per 2oz cup 4lbs converts to 64oz At 2oz each, you’d need 32 cups to get 64oz 32 cups of ramen x .52 per cup = 16.64 pre-tax Currently on pain medication for my knee so lemme know if I’ve miscalculated
When I saw ramen for 6 months on a chubbyemu video I was terrified of my own past ramen habits…that is until he mentioned celiac disease. That was a sigh of relief.
Fun fact: some countries (in particular South Korea) mandate a list of nutrients that has to be added in instant ramen noodles (similar to iodized salt or cereals with added iron) so that a person can technically live off said instant ramen noodle and minimal side dishes without suffering serious nutritional deficiencies. That is, unless the person has a different problem like the one explained in this video.
I do believe you. At some point I was co living with asiats and they wouldn't eat their cup noodle as we do : they'd ad an egg, and lots of chopped vegetables and it made a whole lot of a difference
@@oeil_sauvage--Parole_auPeupleAt one time, when I was unemployed and living didn't have much money, I regularly had 2 minute noodles, and I'd add an egg, or a handful of frozen peas/carrot/corn, or cut up a frankfurt to add to the noodles. Sometimes would add all of the above, but basically whatever was at hand. This was partly for flavor, but also to bulk up the dish and also to add some nutritional content.
I told my korean friend i likex ramen, and he informed me that maruchan stuff in the stores is NOT ramen. He invited me to an Asian market to try korean ramen and i NEVER looked back! I especially love mung bean noodles vs the traditional wheat based ones. Rice noodles are pretty good too.
@@cycoholic Similarly you can mix Kraft Macaroni & Cheese with a can (or pouch) of tuna to get a slightly healthier meal. Tastes a lot better than it may sound! A friend taught me a simple, cheap dish in college: 1lb ground beef, 1lb elbow macaroni, 1 large can of tomato soup, half an onion. Fry up the ground beef & the diced onion. Boil the noodles and drain them. Dump in the beef & onion mixture, pour in the soup (don't add water) and mix. Extremely tasty, especially fresh. Makes quite a bit of food, too.
As someone who enjoys noodles on occasion and has Anemia (from Sickle Cell, not Celiac) this was pretty eye-opening. A good reminder that moderation is key in all things; _"The dose makes the poison."_
even such benign things such as salt will kill you if you dont get any or have too much. Evrything in moderation. I think the man probably had major stress issues to only eat ramen though and to do it again
I was just diagnosed with celiac a few months ago. He’s not wrong. It’s really hard to go 100% gluten free. I just went out for my cousin’s 18th birthday dinner at a burger place. They had gf buns so I thought I’d be fine. I still got glutened because I forgot to ask them to wipe down the spot on the grill used for my burger. They were toasting wheat buns all over that thing, and just the cross contamination from the grill was enough to set me off
@@sultan9givewey it usually doesn’t kick in until the morning after I’ve consumed the offending product. When I wake up, I feel really bloated, and like I’ve been punched repeatedly in the stomach. I then shit 3-6 times in the first few hours after I wake up. It then calms down a bit for the rest of the day, but I still end up shitting 2-3 more times that day, and my asshole feels like its on fire for the whole day. Sorry for being so graphic, but that’s what it actually is like
@@ChiefTapion accurate but I am surprised it lasts only a day. For me it's weeks and the explosive diarrhea lasts for most of the two or three week period. Add in this intense burning feeling that runs the length of my insides.
@@chronicallykat4920 eh, was just giving the most immediate stuff. For me, the lingering burning feeling and a slight amount of diarrhea usually lasts for 3-4 days after consumption. That’s fucking rough though. I can’t imagine weeks
@@ChiefTapion Ah I understand. There is so much to the reaction. The sensitivity level is definitely something that's not fun but it's at least harder to give in to the dreams about pizza. Everything else I eat in dreams is gluten free but never the pizza (though since the cauliflower crust popularity this has improved)
Thank you so much for explaining how debilitating celiac disease actually is. My family never takes me seriously and still don't understand how incredibly careful I must be to not cross contaminate my food with even the slightest traces of gluten. I had years of constant pain, inflammation and severe brain fog and kept getting weaker and weaker. I must have lost 2 or 3 years of my life to this disease. I don't want to ever go back to the state I was in back then. Btw I didn't have problems when I was young, but it started in my mid twenties. I believe the trigger might have been a viral infection.
It’s thanks to all the people who say they’re ‘gluten intolerant’ but don’t actually have celiac that you were treated that way. People need to stop self diagnosing themselves.
@inkbold8511 You're completely missing the point. It took forever to even get a diagnosis. By that point, the damage had already been done. Also, even when cooking yourself, you must be extremely careful and check every single label if the product could contain trace amounts of gluten or other crops. Not to mention that only being able to eat your own food is terrible for your social life.
BRO I FEEL THE *EXACT* SAME WAY IT'S JUST THAT I'M TOO YOUNG TO COOK SO MY PARENTS DO NOT LET ME MY DOC TOLD THEM NOT TO FEED ME UNHEALTHY FOODS AND TO GIVE ME 3 MEALS A DAY AT PROPER TIMINGS BUT NO WHYYY
He's got to be the unluckiest guy alive. He's got like 15 side hustles trying to make ends meet and keeps having the worst things happen to him. At least he's also a doctor though, that probably explains how he's able to survive all this madness.
@@UncleWermus What? How's he a doctor and needs a whole bunch of side-hustles on top of that just to make ends meet? Even residency pays above the median wage, and that too is temporary.
I don't take any chances with my coeliac anymore, I scrutinise every label, only cook for myself, avoid all restaurants etc. I've had so many instances of people just not getting it and belittling it and plenty of near misses in restaurants where I only didn't get exposed because I was being hypervigilant. I blame the number of fad dieters and wellness people who have turned it into some kinda lifestyle choice. Makes those of us with a diagnosed medical condition get lumped together with them and it isn't taken seriously.
Agreed I had a coworker who claimed to have celiac disease but would often eat pizza etc. So I think she just said she had it to get attention and it makes it harder for people that do have it.
People often dismiss it because of people turning it into a preference not a health condition. I absolutely hate when people say they're allergic to something when they really mean they just don't like that something. I can't stand anything with cilantro in it, but I don't claim I'm allergic to it.
My brother was diagnosed with celiac sprue back in 1977, he was 1 1/2 years old (the doctors told my parents it was that or leukemia). Years later I started getting sick and quickly my parents pulled me away from gluten and then I started getting better. The ability to diagnose in today's world is amazing. My family keeps a limited diet to avoid the hazard of gluten as both of my children are also celiac sprue.
My teenaged son once told me that you could gauge someone's financial condition by how many packets of Ramen were in the pantry. He's now 40; I hope he eats better now. I do.
Im 27 and i love my samyang spicy noodles, i can spend like 30$ on fish for one meal but i always come back to my instant ramen... Currently i have about 20 packs in my kitchen. As long as you eat healthier foods in meantime, you gonna be fine. (Btw im skinny too, if you wonder)
@@susabobus Ramen is incredibly unhealthy and high in calories (500 per packet which makes them unedible for me due to their small portions ill always need 3 minimum) but i have noticed a huge trend with slimmer ectomorphic type being drawn to ramen. Now larger people tend to have no affection for ramen, i theorise it is because skinny people tend to be too lazy to eat or are not much of a fan of food which leads them to eating high calorie instant ramen as their only meal in the day and as its a refined carb and easy to make it satisfies those types. larger people either find it too unfilling or just not very good and those trying to lose weight give it a wide birth altogether.
I was born with celiac and knew about the digestive part but was never made aware of the mental side effects. I was raised to believe it was only stomach pains, I've had hallucinations and delusions my entire life and was never taken seriously for long enough to find the cause. Thank you.
my aunt developed schizophrenia and my mom developed panic disorder (real panic attacks, regularly, not just anxiety attacks), and I had major depression throughout all my childhood. all from celiacs. all slowly went away as we got gluten out of our diet. it's absolutely insane how if i eat a whole wheat sandwich, I'll have invasive suicidal thoughts the next morning.
Yep, very possible and common. However the medical industry dismisses this which is why most adults and children are not receiving the appropriate treatment to resolve the problem. It’s sad.
Amazing that it was only in the late 1940s that a link to gluten was strongly suspected, and only in 1952 was it confirmed. That’s about 1700 years after the condition was first described, and that description was translated and widely reported only in the 1880s.
When I was in high school, my lunch usually was just a packet of ramen. I was also pretty sickly with no explanation (my mom would only take me to this crock naturopath). A friend of mine would always nag me at lunch, "those ramens are making you sick!" Well I find out 5 years later after progressively worsening chronic symptoms that I did indeed have celiac! My friend went on to become a nurse and she had better intuition than any of the docs that I went to see as an adult! (and definitely better than my mom's naturopath, who told me I had intestinal parasites for years???)
I was diagnosed with Celiac at the age of 24 after years of mysterious digestive-related suffering. I never had it explained so well and that it is based on a genetic mutation. I found that part fascinating.
The weirdest thing is the main gene linked with celiac is far more prevalent in the population than the disease itself. So the question remains on why some people get triggered to have an immune disorder while others don't? Yes, it's a highly underdiagnosed disorder, but even the upper estimates of its prevalence don't come close to how many have the gene...
@@beanmeupscottyI would assume it could be anything from stress, a change in diet, an illness, an injury? It could be any number of factors that can trigger an auto immune disease, I have Celiac myself, though a cousin of my Mom had MS and her MS was triggered by a crash diet, so it really could be anything I think that triggers the gene.
Thank you❤ a close mentor of mine never had any symptoms of celiac, he was only diagnosed at 70 years old when they found stage 3 EATL. The prognosis of EATL is grim, he died within 6 months :/ his memorial is actually tonight. I know this wasn’t meant to but thank you for putting this out when you did. It gives me some more knowledge and peace and I’ll pass this along to friends who may find peace from it 🥰 love your stuff, been subscribed for years 🎉
I always tell people that it won't kill me in the restaurant like an allergy, but it's not as simple as an intolerance that I could just deal with the consequences, I get very very sick
Remember that if a White Woman says she has Celiac disease or they usually say "gluten intolerance" it's for attention 90% of the time. Same when white Europeans (especially of northern heritage) claim they have lactose intolerance when they are the genetic group with the lowest amount of lactose intolerance in the world.
@Fredrikbb I am a white woman and I have biopsy results and blood work diagnosing me with Celiac. There are nearly 2% of the population with diagnosed Celiac, so slow down with the generalization please. The protein is rejected in the first few inches if intestine, and my body starts vomiting incessantly and ... we will call it.. the double dragon-get me? That's it on the outside. Be thankful for what you have, and what you Don't have. ✌️
@@lisamoulton2540 generalization / pattern recogoniction and empirical observation call it what you will, there's an overrepresentation especially among white women who think they are "gluten intolerant" (half of them don't know that it's called celiac disease) and as i also mention Lactose intolerance is big as well which we know very well with statistic who few people really are (i'm referring to ethnic scandinavians now). But also as you said 2% of the population yet there seem to be several in every friend group i encounter that can't eat gluten, that's a funny coincidence. I have ailments myself, i guess the difference is i don't feel the need to tell the world about them.
"I'm not pregnant but I'm here to deliver" is the best line I've heard this year and we're already half a day in! Definitely going to use this one at some crucial time.
I have moderate gluten intolerance, and one of my best friends has celiac. What makes my gut and my mood upset for a couple days puts him down and out for a week. However, both of us have noticed that gluten, when we eat it, almost takes on an addictive quality. Once you eat it, you crave more, even if it's detrimental to your body. It can be so hard to quit eating gluten, not just because it's found in so many foods, but because it can make your brain react to the same way it might react to alcohol or cigarettes. It's insane.
@@Aliyah_666 You have your experiences, I have mine. I was a smoker for several years (been clean for over 5) and I'm very familiar with the addictive nature of nicotine. I've experienced food cravings in much the same way that I've experienced cravings for a cigarette.
I totally agree with gluten is addictive. It makes you think why they put it in so many foods that don’t seem necessary, I think so you get the craving for it. I know once I have something with gluten in it I just want more and I shouldn’t because I will eventually feel really bad and sick.
I've been on a strict gluten free diet for celiac disease for about eight years now, and it really is hard to eliminate every source of gluten. I feel like I'm being terribly difficult when I tell people that I won't eat the gluten free food they made for me in their gluten kitchen, but it really will make me sick.
Yeah that's a tough one. I think most people will get it if you tell them that you really appreciate the thought, but that even a microscopic amount will make you sick so you can't accept anything made in a kitchen that ever uses regular flour or bread or anything like that
I get it. It’s hard to explain and it takes time for people to understand. I’d rather people respected that I just can’t than feel awful about not risking getting sick. The worst part is trying to explain to my very elderly grandma that I really can’t eat anything…
@@maxe-k6w Hi! The symptoms are vast and can differ a lot from person to person. Most common are the stomach related problems after eating gluten. In my case I had just the worst itchy rushes (they often start on your scalp) There is also joint pain, mental problems, fatigue, depression and brain fog. My advice is to go get youself tested if you can. Best do it before trying to go on the diet because dignosis is very hard to get if you haven’t eaten gluten for a while. Going back to eating the stuff after I got clean was out of the question beacous the symptoms got even worse. Also take note that the blood test has a relatively high probability of coming out negative even if you are sick. Sometimes gastroscopy is nescesery to comfirm the diagnosis. I wrote a lot, sorry, but I hope it helps!
A dear friend of mine has syliac disease. She does cook for herself gluten free food, but on a bunch of occasions her family made something for her and due to their neglegence it was with gluten. She never had the delusion problems, but her stomach hurt and she had hellish headaches. I am especially annoyed at how expensive gluten free stuff is and how the "health craze" idiots basically make it even worse
The health craze folks definitely make it worse for actually intolerant people. What happens is most folks that request gluten free/no contamination food at restaurants dont have any reaction. This means cooks/chefs can be pretty lazy or not even try without bad consequences for customers. 9/10 people that order gluten free stuff won't have a reaction and the staff assume it's fine. Then that poor 1/10 person that gets severe reactions reads the reviews about how it's gluten free, goes in there and orders something. The staff all say "yeah we don't cross contam, we don't have any issues" because most people can't tell they've eaten gluten. Then that poor 1/10 intolerant person is down for days because the staff were ignorant about it.
@@CRneu There was some research on reactions to different foods, and a large proportion of the people didn’t have the allergy, etc that they thought they did. They modified the food by puréeing it, and adding colouring and flavouring, so people didn’t know what they were eating.
It's crazy how much celiac disease can impact your brain! Before my diagnosis I was constantly confused and incredibly agitated all the time, but I chalked it up to stress. Never once did it cross my mind that the cause was celiac disease. Glad GN made a recovery :)
@@MultiSciGeek I do! I was super super lucky to have realized something was wrong early and get it diagnosed early - but I definitely could envision me constantly having some sort of brain fog had I let it go longer.
As an unemployed nursing student studying for finals, the timing here is helpful. Also, didn't know that I wanted to smell my water but hey here we are.
I was first diagnosed at 2 days old, back when doctors thought you would outgrow it. Thirty years later, suffering from physical and mental problems, I found out you don't outgrow it. Been gluten-free for over 20 years with only the occasional flare. I keep up on the research, and this is the best explanation I've found yet. Thank you, and keep up the good work!
Also important to note that a small proportion of coeliac patients (about 5% I think) cross react with avenin, the oat protein analagous to gluten, so even gluten free oats can still cause a reaction. My mum's one of them, and the rise in gluten free oats has actually made it harder for her to find safe foods.
Is you mom lactose intolerant too? I know for me one of the key symptoms (aside from the gut issues) is if you’re lactose intolerant before they start testing/ordering test. The gluten enzyme and the lactose enzyme are very similar so it’s normal for people with celiac disease to be lactose intolerant. Issue for you mom is oats are a great source for making lactose free or even vegan dairy products. When my gut is extra bad I typically try to cut dairy out for a tiny bit (cuz I’m celiac) and Daiya is my go to brand for this. I feel for your mom. I really do
When I was in high school, a couple of girls (sisters) in my churches choir had some sort of issue with gluten, I never really asked more because it was their own medical issue, but when it was my turn to bring dinner for the group, I made sure my casserole was gluten free and made them their own separate one. I remember them being so grateful they cried over it, like I double and triple checked it was safe for them. Thankfully their parents had decent money so they weren't often forced to HAVE to eat stuff with gluten, but many others didn't consider making sure they could eat as well.
A friends son has serious food allergies. When another mom brought snacks to school for the class ( birthday stuff) she made sure nothing had those food products and that all the kids could enjoy the same treats safely. I thought it was so incredible thoughtful and kind.
Tbh this really opened my eyes to how serious celiac can be in comparison with normal gluten intolerance. My mother has gluten intolerance and so does my partner, but they both can still eat gluten semi-often and can be okay besides rather average(in severity) intestinal upset. I didn't know the difference was so vast and potentially so frightening. :(
I was gluten intolerant for about a decade. I had started developing a lot of unexplained health issues, and people I knew (not doctors) kept suggesting that I should try cutting gluten out of my diet. So I did, and none of my symptoms improved, but then any time I tried to eat gluten again, it would give me abdominal pains and gas. I was eventually able to reintroduce it into my diet by taking supplements to help digest it, and now I can eat it every day with no problem. (Huge relief, because I already have a lot of dietary restrictions due to severe lactose intolerance and GERD)
You don't have to eat gluten to kick off a reaction with celiac. Any place where there's a lot of flour getting kicked up into the air (like a bakery) can coat your esophagus with gluten when breathed in, leading to varying levels of misery depending on the individual.
Celiac is a bit of a fad these days. Everyone thinks they have it. It's why "gluten-free" food often isn't because it doesn't really matter to most people. I have family members with real-deal celiac disease and it's brutal. Even the smallest amount of gluten makes them very sick. Contamination is so ridiculously easy. Gluten is on and in practically everything. Even with what I know I can't prepare food for them.
I know people who are celiac and they go to great lengths not to ingest anything with gluten. They told me that even a small amount of gluten can cause further damage to the gut. If anyone is going hungry or cannot afford food, please reach out to your local organizations. I know in my area, you don't need to be low income to get food at some charities. Please don't rely on cheap food on a long-term basis.
The problem wasn't that he was eating cheap food. The problem was that he was undiagnosed. Even if he had gone to a food bank he would've been given noodles and such. I agree with the sentiment but it's very much unrelated to the video. Also as mentioned in another comment - instant noodles aren't cheap. Rice is really the way to go if you're on a tight budget. And it's even gluten-free!
Haha this guy acting like he had celiac disease, sitting there shivering with the ramen noodle containers all over him...😂 that's the best yes, I want to see more acting like that haha.
I will never understand why people say they want a Netflix show of a series that’s already free on TH-cam, and where the creator already has full ownership and creative liberty. For the budget? If that’s the case, why not just donate directly to the creator?
Honestly, as someone who eats a strict gluten-free diet to manage eosinophilic esophagitis (a rare autoimmune disease that affects the upper GI tract), I find that one of the must frustrating parts is constantly getting offered food that I can't eat.
I have celiac disease and the worst part for me is people not believing that I cannot have gluten at all. Makes me paranoid about restaurants and whether or not their kitchen staff are actually avoiding cross-contamination.
@@Timsimon11 I get that, it's tough. I think part of it is that a lot of people are using gluten-free diets as a fad diet (because they think that it will help them lose weight or they think the gluten is just generally bad), and the result is that people with medical conditions aren't believed when we tell people that we have to eat a strictly gluten-free diet.
My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac's Illness and Eosinophilic Gastritis what frustrates she and I the most is how stores slap "Gluten Free" on something and double or triple the prices. Thank goodness for Aldi's, if not for them I would have to work two FT jobs to survive.
@@kevincole3679 I'm sorry to hear about your daughter, that really is a nightmare. Unfortunately, it is very easy to convince a significant portion of the population (who don't need gluten-free diets) that gluten is bad for them, and that they therefore need to buy gluten-free products. The consequence is that people with medical conditions necessitating gluten-free diets have to pay outrageous sums of money to eat. Ignorance is indeed profitable.
My experience with Air up: My husband bought himself a set. Due to his reflux he can’t drink too much of anything flavored, and due to extreme stress his body was screaming for that, so he basically didn’t drink enough. With Air up it got better - for a time. The problem is that not every capsule gave off enough scent to „count“, most were too weak. Imagine taking a lemonade - and diluting it massively. The iced tea capsules worked, because the mint aroma triggered the reaction he needed. Which leads to problem number 2. Capsules are expensive, and stop working after (iirc) two weeks. In the end, he stopped using it after a few months. I‘ve tried it myself, and it just doesn’t work for me. Just flat out doesn’t work. We drink mostly water anyways, and the concept always sounded silly to me. Nothing has changed there. My husband‘s gotten back into his routine of drinking enough, so Air up basically reset him to his old habits, so I don’t consider it a waste. Sometimes you need to cheat to develop good habits. In summary: Always have a water bottle with you. Drink a few sips every half hour. Set an alarm on your phone if you have trouble remembering to drink.
Indeed. There are also apps that can track your water intake. You just put in how much water you drink, can go with just one click if you use the same size of glass. And then it will send you reminders if it has been too long since you drank. I mostly use it to prevent overhydration in summer because it gets extremely hot in my apartment and so I sometimes drink too much
@@lizzardking3390 Disgusting. Artificial sweeteners leave a nasty bitter aftertaste. Besides, drinking „diet“ pops triggers your body’s insulin production. „Hey, sugar incoming!“, but then there’s zero sugar to use up the insulin. Great way to get diabetes. Use everything in moderation.
i don't think it's true that carbs make you hungrier, every dietician I've ever heard talking about them says the opposite. i think that only applies if you eat carbs *instead of* other foods, so the resulting nutrient deficiencies make you hungrier To be filling, a meal needs: carbs, protein, fibre and to not get wild cravings after a while, you need variety
@@therabbithat Former vegetarian here. Refined carbs (like pasta, white rice, and white bread) do digest very quickly, as there is no dietary fibre for the digestive system to work on, unlike high-fibre foods like vegetables and whole, unprocessed grains, which take longer to digest. It's like a match being applied to flash paper (gone instantly) compared to slow-burning charcoal. Carbs are necessary for energy, but they are ideal when combined with legumes to make a complete protein. 👍
Good!!! Please take celiac disease seriously. I’ve had doctors brush it off all the time. One tried to get me to take a nasal spray without verification that it was gluten free because “it only goes in your nose so it would be fine if it had gluten in it.” 🤦♀️ So… nasal drip…? Others have NO idea that it is near impossible to get prescription medicine labeled for gluten under the FDA. Pharmacy does NOT know. You have to call the manufacturer directly and they legally do not have to disclose. Gluten is a bondant and it can be used in medicine legally without any disclosure. I was poisoned for three years from my thyroid medicine. My G.I. thought I had refactory sprue from my endoscopies and biopsies. It’s serious!
I was born with celiac disease but only learned when I was 9. It’s been 13 years, and it never gets easy. All the family dinners you can’t eat, birthday parties you bring your own food to, restaurants being a 50/50 shot of being fine or spending the rest of the day vomiting. It sucks. Knowing that someone else’s slip up could put me in the hospital or my grave is scary. Best not to think about it. Everything can be made gluten free. To anyone with celiac thinking “what’s the harm” in a bite of bread, cake, etc; please don’t.
Everything can be made gluten free but not everything gluten free is worth eating. For example, gluten free bread is terrible compared to regular bread. 100% buckwheat pancakes are great. Gluten free muffins are hit or miss. Gluten free noodles are terrible (extremely hard to cook without turning them into a sludge). Most condiments could be made to be gluten free with zero effect on the taste if manufacturers used a gluten-free alternative for the thickener.
your comment reminds me of a story i once read about this crazy person that would give "thin" people that requested diet sodas the regular version because "they didn't need sugar free". imagine they were diabetic or had some other medical reason to avoid sugar. blew my mind.
@@GUSftw Restaurants hate employees like that, because it's a lawsuit waiting to happen. (A _losing_ lawsuit usually.) If they find out they'll fire the person ASAP. Most places take dietary requests seriously, because no one wants to accidentally kill off a customer.
I was diagnosed at 4 in 1979, was treated terribly my entire childhood because the vast majority of people were ignorant. I had three different attempts to poison me to “prove I’m imagining things” that lucky I was able to avoid. People suck.
I love seeing a new chubbyemu video in my feed! I also love it how you put these little questions in for med students. Such an awesome channel you have here man.
The food network show "Good Eats" used to do the same thing, you would see the same actors playing different characters for the skits, it's cool to see it here, great minds think alike. Alton Brown and our Chubbyemu
I was diagnosed with Celiac disease 15 years ago, around the time that it was becoming well known in the United States. I was very lucky to be diagnosed in what was a relatively short amount of time at the time (around 9 months from symptom onset to diagnosis). I will say to all of the folks with recent diagnoses, it becomes much easier with time. It was really hard to switch to a gluten free diet in the beginning, especially all those years ago. Once you get used to it, you'll be able to look at something and very quickly surmise if it might contain gluten. I mostly eat foods that are naturally gluten free: vegetables, rice, and meat. Some of the gluten free alternatives are good, but many are not and they're all exorbitantly expensive. The funniest thing about Celiac disease is when people ask if I would just rather cheat on the diet and eat something with gluten. The answer is absolutely "no", and if you've experienced these sorts of symptoms you'll understand why it's not worth it. Stay strong!
I got my diagnosis nearly a year ago when I was 16 and I was showing the same symptoms as my older brother who was diagnosed 2 1/2 years before myself. We initially put the symptoms up to my heart disease as I was due heart surgery and fatigue has always been part of my life because of that. Ever since then though I have followed a gluten free diet and only accidentally had gluten twice since and my reaction to it is still quite extreme for such small amounts. Really great video and it has further educated myself on my coeliac disease.
Peoples reactions to getting glutened vary quite a bit. Some of us are more sensitive than others. According to the Celiac assoc. it only takes 1/64 of a tsp to trigger a reaction. Just a crumb or two...
Never knew consuming too many ramen noodles could lead to such an extreme situation. It really highlights the importance of a balanced diet and knowing what your body can handle. Thanks for shedding light on Celiac disease.
@@danielsaragih The latter. Noodles themselves will never cause health problems(nothing in science would even suggest it), even in a lifetime of consumption, unless you have Celiac or other grain intolerance. But since noodles are nearly devoid of micronutrients...that can indeed cause issues and even kill.
@@Kristers_Kbut the whole point of the video is that this guy only experienced symptoms because he has celiac disease. Sure, eating only ramen will cause a nutrient deficiency that will eventually cause severe health problems, but that's not what happened here and isn't the point of the video at all. Noodles can certainly cause severe health problems of either eaten exclusively or eaten as someone with a gluten intolerance/issue/celiac disease.
AS someone with Celiac Disease I appreciate this comprehensive explanation! If only I could get family to understand that it's not a choice and, even if I can't taste gluten, it makes me very, very sick!
@@jamieholmes6087 for some reason, some people just really don't "get" food related chronic illness. I guess because it's nothing like anything they've experienced themselves, and that's the only way they approach understanding the world.
@@collin4555 yeah they really don't, I've seen people use crohns disease as a 'joke' before. I have IBS while not as bad it is still painful as hell and disrupts my life a lot. I get laughed off when I explain to people that while my lactose intolerance isn't inherently life threatening it still takes a lot out of my body and is still very painful. I actually had to visit the ER for gastroenteritis recently so that should be nuff said already. Oh and endometriosis can spread to your bowels so have fun with that one I guess, any other party tricks you'd like to see from me? Edit: I should preface I've had this basically since I was born I've always had gut issues as long as I could remember and I'm taking probiotics with lactobacilli in it now, so I do not want any unsolicited diet advice thanks
Health is your greatest asset. Neither a degree nor money is worth it to fck it up. If you want to be successful in life, the only thing you have to do is stay healthy as long as you can.
Thank you for bringing up the whole thing about gluten-free foods being surprisingly hard to find sometimes! My mom is celiac and she doesn’t ever eat things that say they were made in a facility that processes wheat/barley/rye because she has massive issues with gluten. You would think there are plenty of options for people like her but foods often add stuff containing gluten into all sorts of foods.
It’s not just foods. I’ve been having issues with my hair falling out recently. Lo and behold, I come to find out that GF shampoo/conditioner is a thing. Ever since I started using it, my hair feels much healthier and is falling out less
Two days after watching this video I was diagnosed with Celiac by TTG blood test. I didn’t have obvious symptoms-previously had no idea it was possible to be so unaware of this condition. Thanks Chubby Emu! Perfectly timed video for me.
My daughter and i have the same reaction. When she was diagnosed with the antibodies, I knew the rules, she needed to stay on it to get the official diagnosis, but that girl ate like a bird and she was smaller than other kids her age. So I stopped it right away. She ate so much better. Then the state got involved. Put her back on gluten and then did an endo. They told me the results were inconclusive she they can't give her the "official" diagnosis but she had the antibodies again and they did a genetic test which came out positive. So i told them to give her the diagnosis anyway. The more i looked into it, they say the gene is dormant and it gets activated with high stress. Thats why they didnt want to give the official diagnosis. Is this true?
thanks so much for sharing. stress is known to change some gene expression. whether or not that is exactly what's happening in your daughter's case, it might be hard to pick out
@@chubbyemuI found that my lactose intolerance went away (with my IBS) when I cut out gluten incidentally when trying keto, so gene expression may be part of that or.. something. Either way I'm happy to avoid gluten, had to get out of baking as a profession, though..
@@mikafoxx2717 are you saying your IBS went away as well? I left a comment explaining how I'm a carnivore. My "IBS" has completely disappeared since then and I've been completely regular. I'm very thankful I'm not lactose intolerant considering I eat crazy amounts of cheese. But are you sure you are actually lactose intolerant?
@@NeilTheFisher I used to be, when I was also eating sugar and bread stuff. After being keto, then carnivore, then just reasonable healthy diet, I noticed I have no reaction to even glasses of milk when cream in coffee or cheese used to give me a world of pain.
@@mikafoxx2717hi I just wanted to let you know that after a glutening, celiac people have a hard time digesting lactose until the villi heal again. It's possible you have some form of gluten related sensitivity that shows up most obviously when eating lactose. Good luck
My husband has celiac and our family members never truly understand how detrimental the cross contamination can be, and how important it is to check *every* box when making a meal. I hope more people start to take it seriously. Thank you for breaking down the process so much!
@@nc737 There are non-Celiac gluten intolerances that are completely valid. Such as people with Lupus experiencing a flare up when they consume gluten.
I had a kitten who was do anemic, she had only 4% red blood cells at 7 weeks old. In her case, it was fleas. It was a miracle she survived. She was stunted in her growth for awhile but super heathly for more than 16 years.
It's important that this be shown to a broad audience, because there are still plenty of folks who think you're "being trendy" when you vehemently request food to be Gluten-Free. So much so that at times I've told people that if I consume Gluten-Free I will die. That usually prompts folks to be more serious, but it isn't easy. I have a few trusted restaurants that I rotate and I predominantly have to cook for myself on my own separate cooking-ware. And if toast is toasted in the kitchen... then guess what? I have to avoid entering the kitchen for about 12-18hrs because the airborne wheat is enough to trigger my dermatitis herpatiformis. I'm fortunate to have this skin condition because it tells me something somewhere has glutenated me, and thus I need a purge diet and re-evaluate potential triggers. Because after this stage if it persists there comes the GI distress, and if that persists well... it had gotten really bad before.
In the early 2000s, the majority of people on a gluten-free diet had celiac disease (by about a 2 to 1 ratio). Sometime in the early 2010s it changed to where people on a gluten-free diet were almost twice as likely to not have celiac disease. There was a study published in 2016 that studied these patterns from 2009 to 2014 (i'd link it here but TH-cam sometimes deletes comments with links because of scams). I'm not sure how much it's grown in the years since, but that probably sheds some light on why people today assume that gluten-free is a diet choice. People with alpha-gal syndrome who go vegan probably have a similar experience.
What even did you just write... Toasting toast isn't going to cause any wheat to go into the atmosphere, your more likely getting a rash due to your body reacting a placebo effect thinking its toast. The byproducts of toast that would actually get into the air would be some CO2, some vaporized sugars, and oils, and some carbon dust. No wheat is going to get aerosolized in a toaster. I have family that has celiac disease, you're just making shit up. Just like the many people that claim they have an "alergic reaction" to the smell of something even though it's impossible because the allergen in question is so far below the threshold to cause any effect on the person. You're more likely getting hives from how much you've worked yourself up into fear and anxiety around the smell of toast and it has nothing to do with wheat as an allergen. Rubbing wheat or touching flower will not cause you to have an allergy from gluten, you need to consume it. If you are having outbreaks of dermatitis herpetiformis. You should really look at what your consuming closer cause your probably eating something you thought was gluten free, but isn't. Remember that most alchohol for instance does contain gluten due to the yeast that are responsible for producing it.
In my early and mid 20s I worked in food service and it happened to coincide with the explosion of "gluten free" fad diets. It wound up making a lot of cooks/chefs not really care about dietary needs, especially gluten sensitivity, because 9/10 people requesting gluten free didn't actually need it. So what this mean is cooks didn't go through the proper procedures to not cross-contaminate because most people couldn't actually tell. A lot of places wound up saying they could do gluten-free with no contam but actually couldn't, leading to a lot of folks having reactions that didn't need to. A lot of internet fad stuff really hurts the folks who actually need it for this reason.
My husband has celiac disease, it was rough at first. It was terrifying. All of a sudden he had gotten sick We still struggle but luckily we've find new products
Agree with all the comments, it seems like a minor thing but a recurring actor, and a committed one at that, just makes the content more relatable and gives a human connection to he viewer. Also the man is a legend in his interpretations
I did the math. 600 pounds of noodles over 6 months is 3.33 pounds a day. There's approximately 2050 calories in a single pound of uncooked ramen noodles, he ate 3.3x that so thats 6,750 calories of noodles every single day.
As a person with Celiac Disease, it's incredibly validating to see this. In my experience, there's a stigma on eating gluten free. I've been gaslit a lot regarding my reactions to having only a small portion of gluten introduced into my system, and people have discounted and doubted the psychological issues associated with untreated Celiac Disease. It's a crazy thing. Wonderful to see such a popular channel covering it in an accurate and factual manner though!
I think the judgement is more towards people who have no underlying health condition like Celiac disease but insist gluten is toxic and make it a part of their personality. Similar to vegans who are very up-front about being vegan. If it's a lifestyle choice that you make without making it your personality (or because of health issues) most people don't care.
yo i didnt even know what celiac was until i ead these comments, crazy, i will forever take into account those kinds of needs even without knowing the reason
I feel that people with (somewhat questionable to mild) gluten intolerance have done people with Celiac's a disservice, at least in the sense that it makes people conflate the two. They did make the existence of gluten-free products and restaurants possible for you guys though. Here in Argentina we practically never had the "gluten is poison" mania as there was in the US, so we mostly only encountered people with Celiac's which everyone understands means "having gluten can land me in the hospital". I still remember as a kid being intrigued at the mom of a school friend who had it, and who'd bake her own bread out of rice flour and other such substitutions.
I was diagnosed in 1979, before it was cool. I had a failure to thrive at age 4 and it took a month stay in the emergency ward with over a dozen specialists including several lifetimes worth of fluoroscopy to find out what was wrong. Then after the diagnosis I had to be put on a fodmap diet for several years for my intestines to recover. I’m still alive, I think, but most people don’t realize it’s not just gluten, it’s not a food allergy it’s a problem with your immune system and people with it are far more likely to develop a wide variety of other serious immune diseases.
I can't tell you how happy I am that this video exists. It's hard for me to explain to people what Celiac Disease is. This perfectly explains everything ❤
Weird thing with gut related issues. I have had intestinal issues for years, and gastro docs couldn't find a source. I had ulcers in my stomach, I had diverticulitis and had 6 inches of bowl removed. Even had not one, but 2 a month for 6 months of celeriac testing. After 6 year battle, it was a neurologist that gave us a new avenue to look at. All this time, something overlooked by 98% of gastro docs, even general practitioners, was my problem. I have a defect within my vagus nerve, that causes me to get sick when I eat, and also hijack my bowl movements. Having issues with rapid digestion, slow digestion, horrible cramps, and even acid reflux so bad I couldn't lay flat. Turned out my vagus nerve just does what it wants, and not much we can do about. So it currently just something you live with, no treatment, no cure. Use anti-nausea pills and just watch what you eat and stay hydrated on the days we have the squirts. Please, just be your advocate and work with your doctor and don't take no if you know something is wrong, because no one doctor knows everything.
Just today I had an encounter with my vagus nerve as well... straining too hard while defecating is a common cause of something called vasovagal reflex. Sure enough, when I stood up, I was in severe pain, became lightheaded, had severe ringing in my ears, and lost consciousness for a couple of seconds when I knelt down for comfort. Even that was scary!
Do you know the name of this disease? I would love to find out more about it (biomedical scientist). I wonder if medicine for neurological diseases would help
@@Eet0saurus vagal nerve disorder, it’s broad and not a lot of research has been on it sadly. It more commonly missed with people diagnosed with conditions caused by it. Common for people to diagnose with IBS or UC or other digestive issues when the root or the cause of them remains unchecked. Creat sleep issues, obesity, emotional disorders, such as hassle but yet some doctors don’t think it real disorder or think it causes what it causes.
Strange thing about Celiac Disease...I lived for about 40 years eating gluten rich foods with no problem. Then, quite suddenly, over perhaps a 1 or 2 month span one summer, I began experiencing strange symptoms...such as dizzyness/vertigo and cramps...and especially so after eating foods rich in gluten... Pasta, Pizza, Italian Bread etc...but it took me a while to make the connection. I still plainly recall one such instance in particular. My wife and I went out one night for dinner and a movie. We had Pizza, then on our way to the theater, I began to experience the symptoms pretty intenseley. By this time I had been researching it and was making the connection, and I figured it was Celiac. So I went my doctor who confirmed it through a blood test. It was almost like going to bed normal and waking up with Celiac! Needless to say, after adopting a strict, gluten free diet, the symptoms went away. However, in the many years since, on a few rare occassions, I have mistakenly consumed gluten. One time I remember well. We went to a family cookout and I must have just...wigged out. I'm sitting with my wife and nephew, eating a hotdog, when my wife looks at me intently and asks, 😯 "What are you eating?!" ...and so I pause, extend my hand slightly and look down at what I am holding. 😳 WHY AM I EATING THIS???🤢 I had gotten so caught up in the conversation that I was having that when getting my food, my mind went into autopilot and reverted back to what I had been eating my whole life... A hotdog... on... an ordinary... ...⚠️WHEAT BUN! 🌭😬 My wife asks me, "WHY ARE YOU EATING THAT?!"😲 and all I could say is that I guess I must've wigged out and just grabbed it without thinking. A wave of panic hit me as the realization began to sink in. We immediately left the cookout and headed home. After arriving home, less than hour after eating it, I began experiencing the WORST, MOST PAINFUL cramps that I had EVER experienced in my ENTIRE LIFE. They came in waves and lasted for around 5 or 6 hours! I promise that if you experience this, YOU NEVER FORGET IT!!! So, as you can see, Celiac can be fun! 🤨 NOT! I don’t know if everyone has their own unique set of Celiac symptoms after consuming high gluten food... ( _such as noodles/pasta_ ) ...but for me, I have NEVER struggled with temptation eating gluten! Rather, *I avoid it like the plague* due to the extremely intense, 6 hours of cramps! Therefore, I have no clue how ANYONE could EVER be tempted...and worse, ACTUALLY EAT high gluten food! HOW??? I'm not usually given over to conspiracy theories, but I am 59 years old...and although I had heard of Celiac Disease, it was only rarely. Then, between 20 to 30 years ago, *Gluten-Free* and *Celiac Disease* became ubiquitous! It is EVERYWHERE! It makes me wonder if this was due to some sinister accident. Perhaps genetically modified foods? I obviously don't know. But I do know that I do not believe in coincidences on a global scale. Something seems to have happened!
In an earlier comment Dr. Bernard mentioned that gene expression can change throughout life, it is possible that the gene for Celiac in you has been turned on when it wasn't in the past! Listen to your body, and if possible do your best to communicate all of this to your health professional(s). Best of luck to you, I hope you find effective solutions and feel better. In response to your wonder if there is something that may have caused Celiac to suddenly be much more common, I would say that it is likely due to 2 things: The first being that our society has become filled with all kinds of new stressors, including diet, that didn't used to exist so much in the past, and these many different changes could be contributing to genes being expressed differently. In general there are far more autoimmune diseases than there used to be in the past, and Celiac disease is autoimmune. Second would be that as Celiac disease became better known, likely due to the Internet becoming more popular along with "natural health" tends and such, many people THOUGHT they had Celiac, when in fact a lot of them merely had gluten sensitivities and/or were following trends and/or were having psychosomatic symptoms when eating things they thought had gluten in them (I've known people who unfortunately have unconsciously done this to themselves, but when they don't know something has gluten in it they have no problems!), therefore both factors I've mentioned could easily have contributed to us all hearing far more about Celiac disease than in the past. Even just the advent of the widespread use of the Internet and the ways it has allowed people to connect to each other could help to explain why we hear so much more about Celiac, but I'd guess its likely a mix of all of the above issues and perhaps some others as well.
Intense physiological stress is known to trigger a lot of latent genetic conditions, and life has only ever gotten more stressful over the past century...
Don't have celiac but I do struggle with undiagnosed autoimmune disease so I get it, you don't really get any warning and it just ambushes you. I only really started to notice how bad things are when I got stricken with long hauler covid three years ago and idk if being infected multiple times may have triggered it or just gave away the shitstorm going on in my body already. Before that while struggling with mobility I was pretty active and rarely had any lengths of time I was bedridden but now it's almost a daily occurrence and even just climbing up a flight of stairs winds me. Your gene expression can change so much throughout your life and things can just happen without any warning
So allergies can worsen over time with repeated exposure. You probably always were mildly allergic to gluten and hit the gluten wall with time. I ain't no doctor, but it's a widely reported issue.
What have we learned from ChubbyEmu’s videos? 1) Tell the truth in the ER even if you did something stupid. 2) Too much of one thing will screw your up almost no matter what it is.

If you're ever feeling bad about your choices in life, just remember that this man went from swallowing an earbud to becoming a world-renowned doctor, to a sketchy food truck operator, and then back to eating 600 lbs of noodles & telling a nurse he's not pregnant but "here to deliver", without missing a beat.
Now that's what I call a dedicated actor/stunt man!
I admire ChubbyEmu for not only hiring these actors, but also managing to somehow find the sets to film this. For example, how did they get something that looks like a mostly empty auto body shop? All of this stuff can't be cheap.
@@ChesterChi3 oh yeah the production cost & quality definitely aren't cheap, that's for sure. That's also not to mention the actors who consistently portray the characters continuing to come back so it must be good enough compensation, and that doesn't necessarily mean outright monetary value - for a number of smaller actors, the sheer level of exposure from a video on this channel alone would be potentially enough, but he brings back the same people time and again and they keep coming back so it's obviously a mutually beneficial relationship!

I've been celiac for about 3 years now. Believe it or not it was anemia that led me and my doctor to even suspect this disease. I cannot even imagine the misery that man would be going through eating that much gluten. I've been put down for 2 days eating a single sausage that had gluten in it. That poor man.
thanks for sharing. glad they were able to find it for your case. my colleague shared a story with me once of a patient who had severe anemia and went all the way to get a referral to a hematologist (blood doctor) for what she thought was blood cancer. everything was inconclusive for years. until the patient was finally referred to a gastroenterologist who scoped the patient to find Celiac. it's not always an obvious diagnosis
@@chubbyemu I can really relate to this video, Dr Bernard, as I have celiac that went undiagnosed/untreated for a long time. I just finished my (hopefully) last chemo treatment for celiac-related lymphoma and should know soon if I'm in remission. What crazy timing for this video, thanks!
@@chubbyemu That's so true. I had a client who had gone over ten years without a correct diagnosis. She had so many issues from having it so long. I was the couples accountant, not doctor, but I was constantly on her husband's case for bring home gluten foods she'd always loved. This was back in the 90's, not so much specially made gluten free food.
Every time I’ve visited England (I’m originally from Illinois and now live in Florida) I’ve had sausages, and I can taste that most of them contain bread, or rusk, as it’s called. Much less common here in the USA: they add extra fat or organ meats or occasionally soy grits, but not usually bread. Might some American sausages contain gluten? Maybe.
@@markiangooley You're not wrong - most British sausage recipes do contain rusk. However, good-quality butcher's sausages are much less likely to contain gluten-containing foods. As always, checking the packaging (for chain-bought foods) or asking a store employee (for butchers, greengrocers, etc. - basically, anywhere they handle the food themselves, including restaurants) is essential if you have a food sensitivity of any kind.
(And just to head the argument off: I'm aware that sensitivity may not be the correct term to cover everything like coeliac disease, allergies and alpha-gal syndrome. I'm just not aware of a better one.)
I want to thank you @Chubbyemu. I had had bloating, nausea and abdominal pain for a year and the doctors couldnt figure out why when this video released.
My blood test showed no antibodies, so my GP told me it wasnt celiac but she was gonna refer me to a specialist since nothing had improved over a year.
After biopsy and genotype testing im now diagnosed with celiac without anitbody production, and having my first meeting with a dietitian tomorrow.
glad you finally got answers, wishing you luck and hope you feel better! ❤
Celiac patient here. I cook my own food and it is mostly bland. The hardest part for me is not the cooking part or scrutinizing every bit of food that gets to my mouth but the belittling from family members or "friends" that think I am exaggerating especially when I say I don't eat in any restaurant or accept food without knowing where and how it was cooked. Celiac disease is an esoteric topic and most people will look at you as crazy or outright mock you when you try to explain it.
i think this is mocked often because of the many people who are able to eat gluten but stop doing it to get "healthier" or even to "detox".
they demand everything to be gluten free but base it on nothing.
people who are really sick then are mixed up with those.
As a vegan, I surely ask a lot of questions, and sometimes multiple times over when someone else is cooking for me. I don't want anyone doing me a "favour" when dinning at a restaurant and adding animal product. I often just cook at home because it is less stressful and I know all the used ingredients.
I also stopped going to family Thanksgivings years ago, because I did not like extended family members wanting me to eat meat like I was a freako for not doing so. If your friends and family don't understand your medical needs to avoid gluten, just stop hanging out with them. It sounds like they do not respect you. Who knows when they will test you out and slip in some gluten to your food.
It can also be difficult or impossible for people to imagine the consequences of your disease, due to their lack of experience, but it is not necessarily your job to try to teach the unwilling-to-learn.
@@ellicesanchez3194Of course, the vegan gives the advice of just cut-off connections from loved ones and friends over a diet.
That's horrible advice and an easy way to be lonely. "If you disagree with what I eat I shouldn't talk to you again"
How about conflict resolution conversations?
Okay, maybe I don’t know anything, but why does gluten free = bland?
Like, potatoes and rice exists. Is there gluten in salt and spices? To me it just sounds like you should read a few books and try experimenting more in the kitchen.
If you’re trying to recreate things that are normally great (bread, pasta, etc) Don’t. It almost always sucks, and if it is good there’s all sorts of gums, modifiers, or other crap.
@cattfischh sure spices exist, but who's to say that the spice's manufacturer exclusively produces that product. Although something in itself doesn't have gluten the plant may not sanitize after switching spice dispensing. Also is it sooooo much easier to cook with less products because you risk less exposure
When I saw the title and heard that the man came in with delusions, my first thought was “Huh, I have to wonder if he has Celiac’s disease like the woman in the “A Woman Drank a Liter of Soy Sauce” video.” And I was right! It goes to show how good Chubbyemu is at teaching complex medical subjects when I can remember, understand and apply information from a video he released 4 years ago. Thank you for the work you put into educating your audience- it’s working.

Can confirm his videos work. Very educational.
Its true. Back when I was binging his videos, I felt like I was getting crammed full of decades of professional medical experience and knowledge in an effective and memorable way. I would almost go as far to as say that if you're becoming a doctor, forget your normal curriculum and just watch all of these instead.

@phaethon I too survived on Ramen Noodles and hot chocolate for an entire winter season...hope that never happens again. After surviving that way for that long of a time span, I tried too eat Ramen Noodles and became ill. I eventually could eat Ramen Noodles again, but it took months before that happened...be careful how often you eat Ramen Noodles, I was eating noodles for 2 meals a day, everyday for about 4 months.
in college I bought a meal plan for each half year for 700 something dollars. 2 meals in the cafeterias on campus per day.
Try porridge oats.

@@smthnew861 instant ramen is about 10 cents per ounce * 4 pounds a day (i think thats what the video said) * 16 oz per pound would be $6.40 a day so yeah that guys wrong lol

You don't recover from celiac, it's life long
No, $15 is right if you’re eating the cups. You might be talking about the packets though
1:20 shows .52 per 2oz cup
4lbs converts to 64oz
At 2oz each, you’d need 32 cups to get 64oz
32 cups of ramen x .52 per cup = 16.64 pre-tax
Currently on pain medication for my knee so lemme know if I’ve miscalculated
Kudos to the actor for suffering so many physical conditions as dedication to his craft
When I saw ramen for 6 months on a chubbyemu video I was terrified of my own past ramen habits…that is until he mentioned celiac disease. That was a sigh of relief.
I got the notification for this while eating cup noodles 😭
Id stop probably now
A sign
1 cup or pack of ramen once in awhile shouldn't be a problem though.
I got it while planning to make myself some maruchan 😭
SAME MY STOMACH DROPPED IM NAUSEOUS NOW
Fun fact: some countries (in particular South Korea) mandate a list of nutrients that has to be added in instant ramen noodles (similar to iodized salt or cereals with added iron) so that a person can technically live off said instant ramen noodle and minimal side dishes without suffering serious nutritional deficiencies. That is, unless the person has a different problem like the one explained in this video.
I do believe you.
At some point I was co living with asiats and they wouldn't eat their cup noodle as we do : they'd ad an egg, and lots of chopped vegetables and it made a whole lot of a difference
Wow! 😮
@@oeil_sauvage--Parole_auPeupleAt one time, when I was unemployed and living didn't have much money, I regularly had 2 minute noodles, and I'd add an egg, or a handful of frozen peas/carrot/corn, or cut up a frankfurt to add to the noodles. Sometimes would add all of the above, but basically whatever was at hand.
This was partly for flavor, but also to bulk up the dish and also to add some nutritional content.
I told my korean friend i likex ramen, and he informed me that maruchan stuff in the stores is NOT ramen. He invited me to an Asian market to try korean ramen and i NEVER looked back!
I especially love mung bean noodles vs the traditional wheat based ones. Rice noodles are pretty good too.
@@cycoholic Similarly you can mix Kraft Macaroni & Cheese with a can (or pouch) of tuna to get a slightly healthier meal. Tastes a lot better than it may sound!
A friend taught me a simple, cheap dish in college: 1lb ground beef, 1lb elbow macaroni, 1 large can of tomato soup, half an onion. Fry up the ground beef & the diced onion. Boil the noodles and drain them. Dump in the beef & onion mixture, pour in the soup (don't add water) and mix. Extremely tasty, especially fresh. Makes quite a bit of food, too.
As someone who enjoys noodles on occasion and has Anemia (from Sickle Cell, not Celiac) this was pretty eye-opening. A good reminder that moderation is key in all things; _"The dose makes the poison."_
even such benign things such as salt will kill you if you dont get any or have too much. Evrything in moderation. I think the man probably had major stress issues to only eat ramen though and to do it again
@@Jabarri74yes because his vagus nerve was being stimulated 24/7 by the gluten. Not fun
@@Jabarri74and you are right weve seen many videos on this channel where a specific nutritional deficiency causes alot of harm.
Yep. I'm currently down with a leftover cold and dealing with damage to my throat, and I'm still careful with how much cup ramen I take in.
@@Bumbly_VeeHope you feel better soon ♥
Whenever he says the pt made "a recovery" you know that person is screwed. Good job getting Jon Hamm for the video!
I was just diagnosed with celiac a few months ago. He’s not wrong. It’s really hard to go 100% gluten free. I just went out for my cousin’s 18th birthday dinner at a burger place. They had gf buns so I thought I’d be fine. I still got glutened because I forgot to ask them to wipe down the spot on the grill used for my burger. They were toasting wheat buns all over that thing, and just the cross contamination from the grill was enough to set me off
What it feels like to be glutened for you?
@@sultan9givewey it usually doesn’t kick in until the morning after I’ve consumed the offending product. When I wake up, I feel really bloated, and like I’ve been punched repeatedly in the stomach. I then shit 3-6 times in the first few hours after I wake up. It then calms down a bit for the rest of the day, but I still end up shitting 2-3 more times that day, and my asshole feels like its on fire for the whole day. Sorry for being so graphic, but that’s what it actually is like
@@ChiefTapion accurate but I am surprised it lasts only a day. For me it's weeks and the explosive diarrhea lasts for most of the two or three week period. Add in this intense burning feeling that runs the length of my insides.
@@chronicallykat4920 eh, was just giving the most immediate stuff. For me, the lingering burning feeling and a slight amount of diarrhea usually lasts for 3-4 days after consumption. That’s fucking rough though. I can’t imagine weeks
@@ChiefTapion Ah I understand. There is so much to the reaction. The sensitivity level is definitely something that's not fun but it's at least harder to give in to the dreams about pizza. Everything else I eat in dreams is gluten free but never the pizza (though since the cauliflower crust popularity this has improved)
Thank you so much for explaining how debilitating celiac disease actually is. My family never takes me seriously and still don't understand how incredibly careful I must be to not cross contaminate my food with even the slightest traces of gluten. I had years of constant pain, inflammation and severe brain fog and kept getting weaker and weaker. I must have lost 2 or 3 years of my life to this disease. I don't want to ever go back to the state I was in back then. Btw I didn't have problems when I was young, but it started in my mid twenties. I believe the trigger might have been a viral infection.
Stop complaining and cook your own food
@@inkbold8511touché
It’s thanks to all the people who say they’re ‘gluten intolerant’ but don’t actually have celiac that you were treated that way. People need to stop self diagnosing themselves.
@inkbold8511 You're completely missing the point. It took forever to even get a diagnosis. By that point, the damage had already been done. Also, even when cooking yourself, you must be extremely careful and check every single label if the product could contain trace amounts of gluten or other crops. Not to mention that only being able to eat your own food is terrible for your social life.
BRO I FEEL THE *EXACT* SAME WAY IT'S JUST THAT I'M TOO YOUNG TO COOK SO MY PARENTS DO NOT LET ME

I'm starting to get worried about Wolfgang Nelson. This guy seems to have so many medical health events!
Nah, he'll be okay. He came back from the dead after drinking that pesticide to get celiac disease this time around. I'm sure he'll recover again.
He's got to be the unluckiest guy alive. He's got like 15 side hustles trying to make ends meet and keeps having the worst things happen to him. At least he's also a doctor though, that probably explains how he's able to survive all this madness.
@@UncleWermus What? How's he a doctor and needs a whole bunch of side-hustles on top of that just to make ends meet? Even residency pays above the median wage, and that too is temporary.
@@rutvin8763The comments are referring to the fact that this man is a reoccurring actor on the channel, not an actual doctor.
I don't take any chances with my coeliac anymore, I scrutinise every label, only cook for myself, avoid all restaurants etc. I've had so many instances of people just not getting it and belittling it and plenty of near misses in restaurants where I only didn't get exposed because I was being hypervigilant. I blame the number of fad dieters and wellness people who have turned it into some kinda lifestyle choice. Makes those of us with a diagnosed medical condition get lumped together with them and it isn't taken seriously.
Agreed I had a coworker who claimed to have celiac disease but would often eat pizza etc. So I think she just said she had it to get attention and it makes it harder for people that do have it.
If one is looking, does the ingredient list say gluten or are there key words? TY.
People often dismiss it because of people turning it into a preference not a health condition.
I absolutely hate when people say they're allergic to something when they really mean they just don't like that something.
I can't stand anything with cilantro in it, but I don't claim I'm allergic to it.
My brother was diagnosed with celiac sprue back in 1977, he was 1 1/2 years old (the doctors told my parents it was that or leukemia). Years later I started getting sick and quickly my parents pulled me away from gluten and then I started getting better. The ability to diagnose in today's world is amazing. My family keeps a limited diet to avoid the hazard of gluten as both of my children are also celiac sprue.
Have you had your genes checked? Celiac is caused by hla-dq 2.5 or hla-dq 8
Ironically those same genes cause type 1 diabetes. My mom died from that
I hope both you and your brother had a small biopsy to confirm celiac disease. That technology did exist in 1977 you know

Currently i have about 20 packs in my kitchen. As long as you eat healthier foods in meantime, you gonna be fine. (Btw im skinny too, if you wonder)
@@susabobus Ramen is incredibly unhealthy and high in calories (500 per packet which makes them unedible for me due to their small portions ill always need 3 minimum) but i have noticed a huge trend with slimmer ectomorphic type being drawn to ramen. Now larger people tend to have no affection for ramen, i theorise it is because skinny people tend to be too lazy to eat or are not much of a fan of food which leads them to eating high calorie instant ramen as their only meal in the day and as its a refined carb and easy to make it satisfies those types.
larger people either find it too unfilling or just not very good and those trying to lose weight give it a wide birth altogether.
I was born with celiac and knew about the digestive part but was never made aware of the mental side effects. I was raised to believe it was only stomach pains, I've had hallucinations and delusions my entire life and was never taken seriously for long enough to find the cause. Thank you.
my aunt developed schizophrenia and my mom developed panic disorder (real panic attacks, regularly, not just anxiety attacks), and I had major depression throughout all my childhood. all from celiacs. all slowly went away as we got gluten out of our diet. it's absolutely insane how if i eat a whole wheat sandwich, I'll have invasive suicidal thoughts the next morning.
that is honestly so wild. glad you guys could figure it out.@@Delaxin
I guess that's due to the gut-brain-axis?
You might be vax injured
Yep, very possible and common. However the medical industry dismisses this which is why most adults and children are not receiving the appropriate treatment to resolve the problem. It’s sad.
Amazing that it was only in the late 1940s that a link to gluten was strongly suspected, and only in 1952 was it confirmed. That’s about 1700 years after the condition was first described, and that description was translated and widely reported only in the 1880s.
Can you imagine how many "crazy" or "possesed" people in the past were actually like that because of celliac disease?
When I was in high school, my lunch usually was just a packet of ramen. I was also pretty sickly with no explanation (my mom would only take me to this crock naturopath).
A friend of mine would always nag me at lunch, "those ramens are making you sick!" Well I find out 5 years later after progressively worsening chronic symptoms that I did indeed have celiac! My friend went on to become a nurse and she had better intuition than any of the docs that I went to see as an adult! (and definitely better than my mom's naturopath, who told me I had intestinal parasites for years???)
Dude that sucks so much... 😢 Glad you're fine now! (I hope at least?)

I was diagnosed with Celiac at the age of 24 after years of mysterious digestive-related suffering. I never had it explained so well and that it is based on a genetic mutation. I found that part fascinating.
You were lucky. It took them twice your lifetime to find mine.
@@sdigf3167 I wouldn't call 24 years of suffering lucky in the slightest.
The weirdest thing is the main gene linked with celiac is far more prevalent in the population than the disease itself. So the question remains on why some people get triggered to have an immune disorder while others don't? Yes, it's a highly underdiagnosed disorder, but even the upper estimates of its prevalence don't come close to how many have the gene...
@@beanmeupscottyI would assume it could be anything from stress, a change in diet, an illness, an injury? It could be any number of factors that can trigger an auto immune disease, I have Celiac myself, though a cousin of my Mom had MS and her MS was triggered by a crash diet, so it really could be anything I think that triggers the gene.
“He’s not pregnant, but he’s here to deliver” is an unbelievably cold line

Remember that if a White Woman says she has Celiac disease or they usually say "gluten intolerance" it's for attention 90% of the time. Same when white Europeans (especially of northern heritage) claim they have lactose intolerance when they are the genetic group with the lowest amount of lactose intolerance in the world.

@@lisamoulton2540 generalization / pattern recogoniction and empirical observation call it what you will, there's an overrepresentation especially among white women who think they are "gluten intolerant" (half of them don't know that it's called celiac disease) and as i also mention Lactose intolerance is big as well which we know very well with statistic who few people really are (i'm referring to ethnic scandinavians now). But also as you said 2% of the population yet there seem to be several in every friend group i encounter that can't eat gluten, that's a funny coincidence.

@@Fredrikbb gluten intolerance and coeliac disease are two different things
"I'm not pregnant but I'm here to deliver" is the best line I've heard this year and we're already half a day in! Definitely going to use this one at some crucial time.
I have moderate gluten intolerance, and one of my best friends has celiac. What makes my gut and my mood upset for a couple days puts him down and out for a week.
However, both of us have noticed that gluten, when we eat it, almost takes on an addictive quality. Once you eat it, you crave more, even if it's detrimental to your body. It can be so hard to quit eating gluten, not just because it's found in so many foods, but because it can make your brain react to the same way it might react to alcohol or cigarettes. It's insane.
Thats pushing it a bit I think, cigs and alcohol are genuinely physically and mentally addictive. Gluten isn't like nicotine lol.
@@Aliyah_666 You have your experiences, I have mine. I was a smoker for several years (been clean for over 5) and I'm very familiar with the addictive nature of nicotine. I've experienced food cravings in much the same way that I've experienced cravings for a cigarette.
I totally agree with gluten is addictive. It makes you think why they put it in so many foods that don’t seem necessary, I think so you get the craving for it. I know once I have something with gluten in it I just want more and I shouldn’t because I will eventually feel really bad and sick.
It could be that whatever you're eating that has gluten is ultra-processed and contains other substances making you feel unwell.
@@Aliyah_666imagine trying to tell someone they don’t know how THEIR body works, wtf 😂😂😂
I've been on a strict gluten free diet for celiac disease for about eight years now, and it really is hard to eliminate every source of gluten. I feel like I'm being terribly difficult when I tell people that I won't eat the gluten free food they made for me in their gluten kitchen, but it really will make me sick.
Yeah that's a tough one. I think most people will get it if you tell them that you really appreciate the thought, but that even a microscopic amount will make you sick so you can't accept anything made in a kitchen that ever uses regular flour or bread or anything like that
I'm concern I may have it as well but I'm no sure. Can you describe how having celiac is?
I get it. It’s hard to explain and it takes time for people to understand. I’d rather people respected that I just can’t than feel awful about not risking getting sick.
The worst part is trying to explain to my very elderly grandma that I really can’t eat anything…

Hi! The symptoms are vast and can differ a lot from person to person.
Most common are the stomach related problems after eating gluten. In my case I had just the worst itchy rushes (they often start on your scalp)
There is also joint pain, mental problems, fatigue, depression and brain fog.
My advice is to go get youself tested if you can.
Best do it before trying to go on the diet because dignosis is very hard to get if you haven’t eaten gluten for a while.
Going back to eating the stuff after I got clean was out of the question beacous the symptoms got even worse.
Also take note that the blood test has a relatively high probability of coming out negative even if you are sick. Sometimes gastroscopy is nescesery to comfirm the diagnosis.
I wrote a lot, sorry, but I hope it helps!
everything seems to have gluten! must be really hard to have this disease
A dear friend of mine has syliac disease.
She does cook for herself gluten free food, but on a bunch of occasions her family made something for her and due to their neglegence it was with gluten. She never had the delusion problems, but her stomach hurt and she had hellish headaches.
I am especially annoyed at how expensive gluten free stuff is and how the "health craze" idiots basically make it even worse
The health craze folks definitely make it worse for actually intolerant people.
What happens is most folks that request gluten free/no contamination food at restaurants dont have any reaction. This means cooks/chefs can be pretty lazy or not even try without bad consequences for customers. 9/10 people that order gluten free stuff won't have a reaction and the staff assume it's fine. Then that poor 1/10 person that gets severe reactions reads the reviews about how it's gluten free, goes in there and orders something. The staff all say "yeah we don't cross contam, we don't have any issues" because most people can't tell they've eaten gluten. Then that poor 1/10 intolerant person is down for days because the staff were ignorant about it.
On the other hand it makes those products more available.
Just make sure she doesnt eat old kitchen utensils, and she should be fine
In my country you can sue them for that, usually they settle with some money though
@@CRneu There was some research on reactions to different foods, and a large proportion of the people didn’t have the allergy, etc that they thought they did. They modified the food by puréeing it, and adding colouring and flavouring, so people didn’t know what they were eating.

It's crazy how much celiac disease can impact your brain! Before my diagnosis I was constantly confused and incredibly agitated all the time, but I chalked it up to stress. Never once did it cross my mind that the cause was celiac disease. Glad GN made a recovery :)
Same here, like it's literally driving me nuts! Funny enough Web DM keeps saying it's celiac or thyroid problems.

The production value of these is absolutely amazing. I would love to see/hear a behind the scenes at some point.
I was first diagnosed at 2 days old, back when doctors thought you would outgrow it. Thirty years later, suffering from physical and mental problems, I found out you don't outgrow it. Been gluten-free for over 20 years with only the occasional flare. I keep up on the research, and this is the best explanation I've found yet. Thank you, and keep up the good work!
Also important to note that a small proportion of coeliac patients (about 5% I think) cross react with avenin, the oat protein analagous to gluten, so even gluten free oats can still cause a reaction. My mum's one of them, and the rise in gluten free oats has actually made it harder for her to find safe foods.
Is you mom lactose intolerant too? I know for me one of the key symptoms (aside from the gut issues) is if you’re lactose intolerant before they start testing/ordering test. The gluten enzyme and the lactose enzyme are very similar so it’s normal for people with celiac disease to be lactose intolerant. Issue for you mom is oats are a great source for making lactose free or even vegan dairy products. When my gut is extra bad I typically try to cut dairy out for a tiny bit (cuz I’m celiac) and Daiya is my go to brand for this. I feel for your mom. I really do
When I was in high school, a couple of girls (sisters) in my churches choir had some sort of issue with gluten, I never really asked more because it was their own medical issue, but when it was my turn to bring dinner for the group, I made sure my casserole was gluten free and made them their own separate one. I remember them being so grateful they cried over it, like I double and triple checked it was safe for them. Thankfully their parents had decent money so they weren't often forced to HAVE to eat stuff with gluten, but many others didn't consider making sure they could eat as well.
This is so incredible cute of you. Feeling excluded sucks. I would have cried too. I wish more people were like you.
You’re an awesome person!
A friends son has serious food allergies. When another mom brought snacks to school for the class ( birthday stuff) she made sure nothing had those food products and that all the kids could enjoy the same treats safely. I thought it was so incredible thoughtful and kind.
You are so incredibly kind. Thank you for doing that for them. ❤
Tbh this really opened my eyes to how serious celiac can be in comparison with normal gluten intolerance. My mother has gluten intolerance and so does my partner, but they both can still eat gluten semi-often and can be okay besides rather average(in severity) intestinal upset. I didn't know the difference was so vast and potentially so frightening. :(
I have the intolerance as well and it's maddening do I can imagine 😢
I was gluten intolerant for about a decade. I had started developing a lot of unexplained health issues, and people I knew (not doctors) kept suggesting that I should try cutting gluten out of my diet. So I did, and none of my symptoms improved, but then any time I tried to eat gluten again, it would give me abdominal pains and gas. I was eventually able to reintroduce it into my diet by taking supplements to help digest it, and now I can eat it every day with no problem. (Huge relief, because I already have a lot of dietary restrictions due to severe lactose intolerance and GERD)
@screwyourhandle omg so I probably gave myself an intolerance by omitting lol
You don't have to eat gluten to kick off a reaction with celiac. Any place where there's a lot of flour getting kicked up into the air (like a bakery) can coat your esophagus with gluten when breathed in, leading to varying levels of misery depending on the individual.
Celiac is a bit of a fad these days. Everyone thinks they have it. It's why "gluten-free" food often isn't because it doesn't really matter to most people. I have family members with real-deal celiac disease and it's brutal. Even the smallest amount of gluten makes them very sick. Contamination is so ridiculously easy. Gluten is on and in practically everything. Even with what I know I can't prepare food for them.
The picture of him sitting in the chair with his eyes rolled back and like 20 ramen noodle cups piled on him had be laughing for no reaon 😂 5:08
I know people who are celiac and they go to great lengths not to ingest anything with gluten. They told me that even a small amount of gluten can cause further damage to the gut.
If anyone is going hungry or cannot afford food, please reach out to your local organizations. I know in my area, you don't need to be low income to get food at some charities. Please don't rely on cheap food on a long-term basis.
The guy in a video spent around 15$ per day, he never needed those organizations.
I can't eat gluten either. There's also instant mashed potatos that's very filling.
Yeah.. food banks don't give you only gluten free foods though.
Though... Charities most often give out cheap/expired food, sadly...
The problem wasn't that he was eating cheap food. The problem was that he was undiagnosed. Even if he had gone to a food bank he would've been given noodles and such. I agree with the sentiment but it's very much unrelated to the video.
Also as mentioned in another comment - instant noodles aren't cheap. Rice is really the way to go if you're on a tight budget. And it's even gluten-free!
10/10 excellent video, 12/10 amazing actor, went above and beyond for his role
I'd kill to get a Netflix series on this. The humorous visuals of the people, yet the ominous undertones of the medical problems is a great combo.
SAME
Netflix would just screw it up
Haha this guy acting like he had celiac disease, sitting there shivering with the ramen noodle containers all over him...😂 that's the best yes, I want to see more acting like that haha.
The they already did, it was called House M.D.
I will never understand why people say they want a Netflix show of a series that’s already free on TH-cam, and where the creator already has full ownership and creative liberty. For the budget? If that’s the case, why not just donate directly to the creator?
"He's not pregnant but he's here to deliver" should be what all people say when they need to take a massive toxic dump at their friends' houses
The gentleman in the video suffering seizures from ramen noodles deserves an Oscar.
WOLFGANG NELSON!
He's also a fantastic farmer and taco truck cook.
He's an actual celiaki-patient that was kidnapped and force fed noodles for the sake of the video. The youtube video business is cynical.
He also drank nothing but beer for years.
9:52 "For best overacting..."
Honestly, as someone who eats a strict gluten-free diet to manage eosinophilic esophagitis (a rare autoimmune disease that affects the upper GI tract), I find that one of the must frustrating parts is constantly getting offered food that I can't eat.
I have celiac disease and the worst part for me is people not believing that I cannot have gluten at all. Makes me paranoid about restaurants and whether or not their kitchen staff are actually avoiding cross-contamination.
@@Timsimon11 I get that, it's tough. I think part of it is that a lot of people are using gluten-free diets as a fad diet (because they think that it will help them lose weight or they think the gluten is just generally bad), and the result is that people with medical conditions aren't believed when we tell people that we have to eat a strictly gluten-free diet.
My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac's Illness and Eosinophilic Gastritis what frustrates she and I the most is how stores slap "Gluten Free" on something and double or triple the prices. Thank goodness for Aldi's, if not for them I would have to work two FT jobs to survive.
@@kevincole3679Shop the outer aisles of the grocery store and avoid all the expensive gluten replacement foods. Fresh foods are healthier anyhow
@@kevincole3679 I'm sorry to hear about your daughter, that really is a nightmare. Unfortunately, it is very easy to convince a significant portion of the population (who don't need gluten-free diets) that gluten is bad for them, and that they therefore need to buy gluten-free products. The consequence is that people with medical conditions necessitating gluten-free diets have to pay outrageous sums of money to eat. Ignorance is indeed profitable.
My experience with Air up:
My husband bought himself a set. Due to his reflux he can’t drink too much of anything flavored, and due to extreme stress his body was screaming for that, so he basically didn’t drink enough.
With Air up it got better - for a time. The problem is that not every capsule gave off enough scent to „count“, most were too weak. Imagine taking a lemonade - and diluting it massively. The iced tea capsules worked, because the mint aroma triggered the reaction he needed.
Which leads to problem number 2. Capsules are expensive, and stop working after (iirc) two weeks.
In the end, he stopped using it after a few months.
I‘ve tried it myself, and it just doesn’t work for me. Just flat out doesn’t work.
We drink mostly water anyways, and the concept always sounded silly to me. Nothing has changed there.
My husband‘s gotten back into his routine of drinking enough, so Air up basically reset him to his old habits, so I don’t consider it a waste. Sometimes you need to cheat to develop good habits.
In summary:
Always have a water bottle with you. Drink a few sips every half hour. Set an alarm on your phone if you have trouble remembering to drink.
Indeed. There are also apps that can track your water intake. You just put in how much water you drink, can go with just one click if you use the same size of glass. And then it will send you reminders if it has been too long since you drank.
I mostly use it to prevent overhydration in summer because it gets extremely hot in my apartment and so I sometimes drink too much
Yeah, I agree. Besides, if you want healthy flavoured liquid you can just buy a juicer and throw some apples in. It's cheap and healthy.
They are just selling air and they seem to be quite good at it.
Or just drink diet sprite
@@lizzardking3390 Disgusting. Artificial sweeteners leave a nasty bitter aftertaste.
Besides, drinking „diet“ pops triggers your body’s insulin production. „Hey, sugar incoming!“, but then there’s zero sugar to use up the insulin. Great way to get diabetes.
Use everything in moderation.
the time stamp titles are so funny, amazing video
These videos are just GREAT for someone trying to pursue a medical career. Good job, Chubbyemu. Cheers!
i don't think it's true that carbs make you hungrier, every dietician I've ever heard talking about them says the opposite. i think that only applies if you eat carbs *instead of* other foods, so the resulting nutrient deficiencies make you hungrier
To be filling, a meal needs: carbs, protein, fibre
and to not get wild cravings after a while, you need variety
I was wondering why my doctor wanted to discuss my ramen intake
@@therabbithat Former vegetarian here. Refined carbs (like pasta, white rice, and white bread) do digest very quickly, as there is no dietary fibre for the digestive system to work on, unlike high-fibre foods like vegetables and whole, unprocessed grains, which take longer to digest. It's like a match being applied to flash paper (gone instantly) compared to slow-burning charcoal.
Carbs are necessary for energy, but they are ideal when combined with legumes to make a complete protein. 👍
Good!!! Please take celiac disease seriously. I’ve had doctors brush it off all the time. One tried to get me to take a nasal spray without verification that it was gluten free because “it only goes in your nose so it would be fine if it had gluten in it.” 🤦♀️ So… nasal drip…?
Others have NO idea that it is near impossible to get prescription medicine labeled for gluten under the FDA. Pharmacy does NOT know. You have to call the manufacturer directly and they legally do not have to disclose. Gluten is a bondant and it can be used in medicine legally without any disclosure.
I was poisoned for three years from my thyroid medicine. My G.I. thought I had refactory sprue from my endoscopies and biopsies. It’s serious!
I was born with celiac disease but only learned when I was 9. It’s been 13 years, and it never gets easy. All the family dinners you can’t eat, birthday parties you bring your own food to, restaurants being a 50/50 shot of being fine or spending the rest of the day vomiting. It sucks.
Knowing that someone else’s slip up could put me in the hospital or my grave is scary. Best not to think about it.
Everything can be made gluten free. To anyone with celiac thinking “what’s the harm” in a bite of bread, cake, etc; please don’t.
Everything can be made gluten free but not everything gluten free is worth eating. For example, gluten free bread is terrible compared to regular bread. 100% buckwheat pancakes are great. Gluten free muffins are hit or miss. Gluten free noodles are terrible (extremely hard to cook without turning them into a sludge). Most condiments could be made to be gluten free with zero effect on the taste if manufacturers used a gluten-free alternative for the thickener.
Canyon Bakehouse makes really good gluten-free bread products. My problem was adjusting a lifetime of baking. Thank God for 1to1 flour blends!
your comment reminds me of a story i once read about this crazy person that would give "thin" people that requested diet sodas the regular version because "they didn't need sugar free". imagine they were diabetic or had some other medical reason to avoid sugar. blew my mind.
@@GUSftw Restaurants hate employees like that, because it's a lawsuit waiting to happen. (A _losing_ lawsuit usually.) If they find out they'll fire the person ASAP. Most places take dietary requests seriously, because no one wants to accidentally kill off a customer.
I was diagnosed at 4 in 1979, was treated terribly my entire childhood because the vast majority of people were ignorant. I had three different attempts to poison me to “prove I’m imagining things” that lucky I was able to avoid. People suck.
I love seeing a new chubbyemu video in my feed!
I also love it how you put these little questions in for med students. Such an awesome channel you have here man.
your production values just keep improving. this is better than many medical drama TV shows, and MUCH more educational! Are you taking new patients?
the chubbyemu lore is real, he was the chef in the suspicious food truck. makes total sense
He was a gym rat before that.
The food network show "Good Eats" used to do the same thing, you would see the same actors playing different characters for the skits, it's cool to see it here, great minds think alike. Alton Brown and our Chubbyemu
Ok, remember guys, the limit is 599 pounds
i probably eat wayyy more
@@anchoredislands4880you‘d have to eat 1.3 kg/day to eat more than him
I was diagnosed with Celiac disease 15 years ago, around the time that it was becoming well known in the United States. I was very lucky to be diagnosed in what was a relatively short amount of time at the time (around 9 months from symptom onset to diagnosis). I will say to all of the folks with recent diagnoses, it becomes much easier with time. It was really hard to switch to a gluten free diet in the beginning, especially all those years ago. Once you get used to it, you'll be able to look at something and very quickly surmise if it might contain gluten. I mostly eat foods that are naturally gluten free: vegetables, rice, and meat. Some of the gluten free alternatives are good, but many are not and they're all exorbitantly expensive.
The funniest thing about Celiac disease is when people ask if I would just rather cheat on the diet and eat something with gluten. The answer is absolutely "no", and if you've experienced these sorts of symptoms you'll understand why it's not worth it.
Stay strong!
I got my diagnosis nearly a year ago when I was 16 and I was showing the same symptoms as my older brother who was diagnosed 2 1/2 years before myself. We initially put the symptoms up to my heart disease as I was due heart surgery and fatigue has always been part of my life because of that. Ever since then though I have followed a gluten free diet and only accidentally had gluten twice since and my reaction to it is still quite extreme for such small amounts. Really great video and it has further educated myself on my coeliac disease.
Peoples reactions to getting glutened vary quite a bit. Some of us are more sensitive than others. According to the Celiac assoc. it only takes 1/64 of a tsp to trigger a reaction. Just a crumb or two...
Never knew consuming too many ramen noodles could lead to such an extreme situation. It really highlights the importance of a balanced diet and knowing what your body can handle. Thanks for shedding light on Celiac disease.
The diet had nothing to do with it. Its a disease you are born with and you have to avoid any gluten.
Is the ramen itself the culprit or the nutrional deficiency the culprit? Both are different take away conclusion 🥱
@@danielsaragih The latter. Noodles themselves will never cause health problems(nothing in science would even suggest it), even in a lifetime of consumption, unless you have Celiac or other grain intolerance. But since noodles are nearly devoid of micronutrients...that can indeed cause issues and even kill.
It's not about consuming too many ramen noodles. It's about ONLY eating ramen noodles
@@Kristers_Kbut the whole point of the video is that this guy only experienced symptoms because he has celiac disease. Sure, eating only ramen will cause a nutrient deficiency that will eventually cause severe health problems, but that's not what happened here and isn't the point of the video at all. Noodles can certainly cause severe health problems of either eaten exclusively or eaten as someone with a gluten intolerance/issue/celiac disease.
The actor’s facial expressions and body gestures are brilliant! It’s as though I’m feeling exactly what he’s portraying 😂
Convulsing in the chair covered in ramen cups.😂😂!
Lawsuit may be eminent.
Gotta give it to Wolfgang Nelson, Joanna Ferbrache, and Tristyn Smith for their AWESOME Acting !!
Wolfgang nailed those expressions !! LOL
let's all appreciate this actor/actress combo. phenomenal!
AS someone with Celiac Disease I appreciate this comprehensive explanation! If only I could get family to understand that it's not a choice and, even if I can't taste gluten, it makes me very, very sick!
Coeliac here. Your family sound nuts.
Who would not understand that their family member has a debilitating reaction to Gluten?
Have they gone with you to your doctor? Maybe if they heard it from the doctor they would believe it. :shrug:
Show them this video
@@jamieholmes6087 for some reason, some people just really don't "get" food related chronic illness. I guess because it's nothing like anything they've experienced themselves, and that's the only way they approach understanding the world.
@@collin4555 yeah they really don't, I've seen people use crohns disease as a 'joke' before. I have IBS while not as bad it is still painful as hell and disrupts my life a lot. I get laughed off when I explain to people that while my lactose intolerance isn't inherently life threatening it still takes a lot out of my body and is still very painful. I actually had to visit the ER for gastroenteritis recently so that should be nuff said already. Oh and endometriosis can spread to your bowels so have fun with that one I guess, any other party tricks you'd like to see from me?
Edit: I should preface I've had this basically since I was born I've always had gut issues as long as I could remember and I'm taking probiotics with lactobacilli in it now, so I do not want any unsolicited diet advice thanks
Health is your greatest asset. Neither a degree nor money is worth it to fck it up. If you want to be successful in life, the only thing you have to do is stay healthy as long as you can.
Thank you for bringing up the whole thing about gluten-free foods being surprisingly hard to find sometimes! My mom is celiac and she doesn’t ever eat things that say they were made in a facility that processes wheat/barley/rye because she has massive issues with gluten. You would think there are plenty of options for people like her but foods often add stuff containing gluten into all sorts of foods.
It’s not just foods. I’ve been having issues with my hair falling out recently. Lo and behold, I come to find out that GF shampoo/conditioner is a thing. Ever since I started using it, my hair feels much healthier and is falling out less
Two days after watching this video I was diagnosed with Celiac by TTG blood test. I didn’t have obvious symptoms-previously had no idea it was possible to be so unaware of this condition. Thanks Chubby Emu! Perfectly timed video for me.
4:05 weird popup that says powerhouse of the cell in reverse writing.
Thank you for talking about how severe celiac can be. People always think you’re just being picky when it can present as serious neurological issues
My daughter and i have the same reaction. When she was diagnosed with the antibodies, I knew the rules, she needed to stay on it to get the official diagnosis, but that girl ate like a bird and she was smaller than other kids her age. So I stopped it right away. She ate so much better. Then the state got involved. Put her back on gluten and then did an endo. They told me the results were inconclusive she they can't give her the "official" diagnosis but she had the antibodies again and they did a genetic test which came out positive. So i told them to give her the diagnosis anyway. The more i looked into it, they say the gene is dormant and it gets activated with high stress. Thats why they didnt want to give the official diagnosis. Is this true?
thanks so much for sharing. stress is known to change some gene expression. whether or not that is exactly what's happening in your daughter's case, it might be hard to pick out
@@chubbyemuI found that my lactose intolerance went away (with my IBS) when I cut out gluten incidentally when trying keto, so gene expression may be part of that or.. something. Either way I'm happy to avoid gluten, had to get out of baking as a profession, though..
@@mikafoxx2717 are you saying your IBS went away as well? I left a comment explaining how I'm a carnivore. My "IBS" has completely disappeared since then and I've been completely regular. I'm very thankful I'm not lactose intolerant considering I eat crazy amounts of cheese. But are you sure you are actually lactose intolerant?
@@NeilTheFisher I used to be, when I was also eating sugar and bread stuff. After being keto, then carnivore, then just reasonable healthy diet, I noticed I have no reaction to even glasses of milk when cream in coffee or cheese used to give me a world of pain.
@@mikafoxx2717hi I just wanted to let you know that after a glutening, celiac people have a hard time digesting lactose until the villi heal again. It's possible you have some form of gluten related sensitivity that shows up most obviously when eating lactose. Good luck
My husband has celiac and our family members never truly understand how detrimental the cross contamination can be, and how important it is to check *every* box when making a meal. I hope more people start to take it seriously. Thank you for breaking down the process so much!
I think everyone takes coeliac seriously, don't accidentally conflate peoples attitude to self diagnosed gluten intolerants...same thing with adhd, ocd, ptsd
look into the carnivore diet or Keto. Your body can live on protein and fat and no it's not bad for you.
@@nc737 There are non-Celiac gluten intolerances that are completely valid. Such as people with Lupus experiencing a flare up when they consume gluten.
Send them this video.
Once again, props to the actors and the art direction. Massive dedication in Mr. Ramen

I had a kitten who was do anemic, she had only 4% red blood cells at 7 weeks old. In her case, it was fleas. It was a miracle she survived. She was stunted in her growth for awhile but super heathly for more than 16 years.
❤️
It's important that this be shown to a broad audience, because there are still plenty of folks who think you're "being trendy" when you vehemently request food to be Gluten-Free. So much so that at times I've told people that if I consume Gluten-Free I will die. That usually prompts folks to be more serious, but it isn't easy. I have a few trusted restaurants that I rotate and I predominantly have to cook for myself on my own separate cooking-ware. And if toast is toasted in the kitchen... then guess what? I have to avoid entering the kitchen for about 12-18hrs because the airborne wheat is enough to trigger my dermatitis herpatiformis.
I'm fortunate to have this skin condition because it tells me something somewhere has glutenated me, and thus I need a purge diet and re-evaluate potential triggers. Because after this stage if it persists there comes the GI distress, and if that persists well... it had gotten really bad before.
In the early 2000s, the majority of people on a gluten-free diet had celiac disease (by about a 2 to 1 ratio). Sometime in the early 2010s it changed to where people on a gluten-free diet were almost twice as likely to not have celiac disease. There was a study published in 2016 that studied these patterns from 2009 to 2014 (i'd link it here but TH-cam sometimes deletes comments with links because of scams). I'm not sure how much it's grown in the years since, but that probably sheds some light on why people today assume that gluten-free is a diet choice. People with alpha-gal syndrome who go vegan probably have a similar experience.
What even did you just write... Toasting toast isn't going to cause any wheat to go into the atmosphere, your more likely getting a rash due to your body reacting a placebo effect thinking its toast. The byproducts of toast that would actually get into the air would be some CO2, some vaporized sugars, and oils, and some carbon dust. No wheat is going to get aerosolized in a toaster.
I have family that has celiac disease, you're just making shit up. Just like the many people that claim they have an "alergic reaction" to the smell of something even though it's impossible because the allergen in question is so far below the threshold to cause any effect on the person.
You're more likely getting hives from how much you've worked yourself up into fear and anxiety around the smell of toast and it has nothing to do with wheat as an allergen.
Rubbing wheat or touching flower will not cause you to have an allergy from gluten, you need to consume it.
If you are having outbreaks of dermatitis herpetiformis. You should really look at what your consuming closer cause your probably eating something you thought was gluten free, but isn't. Remember that most alchohol for instance does contain gluten due to the yeast that are responsible for producing it.
In my early and mid 20s I worked in food service and it happened to coincide with the explosion of "gluten free" fad diets. It wound up making a lot of cooks/chefs not really care about dietary needs, especially gluten sensitivity, because 9/10 people requesting gluten free didn't actually need it. So what this mean is cooks didn't go through the proper procedures to not cross-contaminate because most people couldn't actually tell. A lot of places wound up saying they could do gluten-free with no contam but actually couldn't, leading to a lot of folks having reactions that didn't need to.
A lot of internet fad stuff really hurts the folks who actually need it for this reason.
Celiac disease was known by the ancient Romans it's not new or a fad.
"fortunate to have this skin condition". Wow you really got that glass half full mentality huh? Good for you.
My husband has celiac disease, it was rough at first. It was terrifying. All of a sudden he had gotten sick
We still struggle but luckily we've find new products
Agree with all the comments, it seems like a minor thing but a recurring actor, and a committed one at that, just makes the content more relatable and gives a human connection to he viewer. Also the man is a legend in his interpretations
I did the math. 600 pounds of noodles over 6 months is 3.33 pounds a day. There's approximately 2050 calories in a single pound of uncooked ramen noodles, he ate 3.3x that so thats 6,750 calories of noodles every single day.
As a person with Celiac Disease, it's incredibly validating to see this.
In my experience, there's a stigma on eating gluten free. I've been gaslit a lot regarding my reactions to having only a small portion of gluten introduced into my system, and people have discounted and doubted the psychological issues associated with untreated Celiac Disease.
It's a crazy thing. Wonderful to see such a popular channel covering it in an accurate and factual manner though!
It is very validating...THANK YOU Chubby!
One of my friends has celiac and honestly I don't know how you guys cope. Gluten is in EVERYTHING
I think the judgement is more towards people who have no underlying health condition like Celiac disease but insist gluten is toxic and make it a part of their personality. Similar to vegans who are very up-front about being vegan.
If it's a lifestyle choice that you make without making it your personality (or because of health issues) most people don't care.
yo i didnt even know what celiac was until i ead these comments, crazy, i will forever take into account those kinds of needs even without knowing the reason
I feel that people with (somewhat questionable to mild) gluten intolerance have done people with Celiac's a disservice, at least in the sense that it makes people conflate the two. They did make the existence of gluten-free products and restaurants possible for you guys though.
Here in Argentina we practically never had the "gluten is poison" mania as there was in the US, so we mostly only encountered people with Celiac's which everyone understands means "having gluten can land me in the hospital". I still remember as a kid being intrigued at the mom of a school friend who had it, and who'd bake her own bread out of rice flour and other such substitutions.
Finally, a video I can use to show others how serious my condition is. Thank you.
who is this guy always in the videos ? Are you filming it yourself? Love his acting, always gives me a laugh😁
The actor for GN killed me with his expressions. Oscar performances all around. love the enactments this channel has taken on.
I was diagnosed in 1979, before it was cool. I had a failure to thrive at age 4 and it took a month stay in the emergency ward with over a dozen specialists including several lifetimes worth of fluoroscopy to find out what was wrong. Then after the diagnosis I had to be put on a fodmap diet for several years for my intestines to recover. I’m still alive, I think, but most people don’t realize it’s not just gluten, it’s not a food allergy it’s a problem with your immune system and people with it are far more likely to develop a wide variety of other serious immune diseases.
1:56 nah man. He wouldve been dead if he actually said that to his wife💀
I hope this fellow is leading a healthy life and his business is doing well
Visited him a month back.
I can't tell you how happy I am that this video exists. It's hard for me to explain to people what Celiac Disease is. This perfectly explains everything ❤
Weird thing with gut related issues. I have had intestinal issues for years, and gastro docs couldn't find a source. I had ulcers in my stomach, I had diverticulitis and had 6 inches of bowl removed. Even had not one, but 2 a month for 6 months of celeriac testing. After 6 year battle, it was a neurologist that gave us a new avenue to look at. All this time, something overlooked by 98% of gastro docs, even general practitioners, was my problem. I have a defect within my vagus nerve, that causes me to get sick when I eat, and also hijack my bowl movements. Having issues with rapid digestion, slow digestion, horrible cramps, and even acid reflux so bad I couldn't lay flat. Turned out my vagus nerve just does what it wants, and not much we can do about. So it currently just something you live with, no treatment, no cure. Use anti-nausea pills and just watch what you eat and stay hydrated on the days we have the squirts. Please, just be your advocate and work with your doctor and don't take no if you know something is wrong, because no one doctor knows everything.
Just today I had an encounter with my vagus nerve as well... straining too hard while defecating is a common cause of something called vasovagal reflex. Sure enough, when I stood up, I was in severe pain, became lightheaded, had severe ringing in my ears, and lost consciousness for a couple of seconds when I knelt down for comfort. Even that was scary!
Try praying and asking Jesus for help.
Do you know the name of this disease? I would love to find out more about it (biomedical scientist). I wonder if medicine for neurological diseases would help
@@Eet0saurus vagal nerve disorder, it’s broad and not a lot of research has been on it sadly. It more commonly missed with people diagnosed with conditions caused by it. Common for people to diagnose with IBS or UC or other digestive issues when the root or the cause of them remains unchecked. Creat sleep issues, obesity, emotional disorders, such as hassle but yet some doctors don’t think it real disorder or think it causes what it causes.
Won't depressants help
Strange thing about Celiac Disease...I lived for about 40 years eating gluten rich foods with no problem. Then, quite suddenly, over perhaps a 1 or 2 month span one summer, I began experiencing strange symptoms...such as dizzyness/vertigo and cramps...and especially so after eating foods rich in gluten...
Pasta, Pizza, Italian Bread etc...but it took me a while to make the connection.
I still plainly recall one such instance in particular. My wife and I went out one night for dinner and a movie. We had Pizza, then on our way to the theater, I began to experience the symptoms pretty intenseley. By this time I had been researching it and was making the connection, and I figured it was Celiac. So I went my doctor who confirmed it through a blood test. It was almost like going to bed normal and waking up with Celiac! Needless to say, after adopting a strict, gluten free diet, the symptoms went away. However, in the many years since, on a few rare occassions, I have mistakenly consumed gluten.
One time I remember well. We went to a family cookout and I must have just...wigged out. I'm sitting with my wife and nephew, eating a hotdog, when my wife looks at me intently and asks,
😯 "What are you eating?!"
...and so I pause, extend my hand slightly and look down at what I am holding.
😳 WHY AM I EATING THIS???🤢
I had gotten so caught up in the conversation that I was having that when getting my food, my mind went into autopilot and reverted back to what I had been eating my whole life...
A hotdog...
on...
an ordinary...
...⚠️WHEAT BUN! 🌭😬
My wife asks me,
"WHY ARE YOU EATING THAT?!"😲
and all I could say is that I guess I must've wigged out and just grabbed it without thinking.
A wave of panic hit me as the realization began to sink in. We immediately left the cookout and headed home. After arriving home, less than hour after eating it, I began experiencing the WORST, MOST PAINFUL cramps that I had EVER experienced in my ENTIRE LIFE. They came in waves and lasted for around 5 or 6 hours!
I promise that if you experience this, YOU NEVER FORGET IT!!!
So, as you can see, Celiac can be fun!
🤨 NOT!
I don’t know if everyone has their own unique set of Celiac symptoms after consuming high gluten food...
( _such as noodles/pasta_ )
...but for me, I have NEVER struggled with temptation eating gluten! Rather, *I avoid it like the plague* due to the extremely intense, 6 hours of cramps! Therefore, I have no clue how ANYONE could EVER be tempted...and worse, ACTUALLY EAT high gluten food!
HOW???
I'm not usually given over to conspiracy theories, but I am 59 years old...and although I had heard of Celiac Disease, it was only rarely. Then, between 20 to 30 years ago, *Gluten-Free* and *Celiac Disease* became ubiquitous! It is EVERYWHERE! It makes me wonder if this was due to some sinister accident. Perhaps genetically modified foods? I obviously don't know. But I do know that I do not believe in coincidences on a global scale. Something seems to have happened!
In an earlier comment Dr. Bernard mentioned that gene expression can change throughout life, it is possible that the gene for Celiac in you has been turned on when it wasn't in the past! Listen to your body, and if possible do your best to communicate all of this to your health professional(s). Best of luck to you, I hope you find effective solutions and feel better.
In response to your wonder if there is something that may have caused Celiac to suddenly be much more common, I would say that it is likely due to 2 things: The first being that our society has become filled with all kinds of new stressors, including diet, that didn't used to exist so much in the past, and these many different changes could be contributing to genes being expressed differently. In general there are far more autoimmune diseases than there used to be in the past, and Celiac disease is autoimmune. Second would be that as Celiac disease became better known, likely due to the Internet becoming more popular along with "natural health" tends and such, many people THOUGHT they had Celiac, when in fact a lot of them merely had gluten sensitivities and/or were following trends and/or were having psychosomatic symptoms when eating things they thought had gluten in them (I've known people who unfortunately have unconsciously done this to themselves, but when they don't know something has gluten in it they have no problems!), therefore both factors I've mentioned could easily have contributed to us all hearing far more about Celiac disease than in the past. Even just the advent of the widespread use of the Internet and the ways it has allowed people to connect to each other could help to explain why we hear so much more about Celiac, but I'd guess its likely a mix of all of the above issues and perhaps some others as well.
Intense physiological stress is known to trigger a lot of latent genetic conditions, and life has only ever gotten more stressful over the past century...
Don't have celiac but I do struggle with undiagnosed autoimmune disease so I get it, you don't really get any warning and it just ambushes you. I only really started to notice how bad things are when I got stricken with long hauler covid three years ago and idk if being infected multiple times may have triggered it or just gave away the shitstorm going on in my body already. Before that while struggling with mobility I was pretty active and rarely had any lengths of time I was bedridden but now it's almost a daily occurrence and even just climbing up a flight of stairs winds me. Your gene expression can change so much throughout your life and things can just happen without any warning
So allergies can worsen over time with repeated exposure. You probably always were mildly allergic to gluten and hit the gluten wall with time.
I ain't no doctor, but it's a widely reported issue.

However, Celiac Disease is not an allergy.
I really like the way you play uncoordinated off beat music alongside patients' mental state deteriorating, nice touch.
What have we learned from ChubbyEmu’s videos? 1) Tell the truth in the ER even if you did something stupid. 2) Too much of one thing will screw your up almost no matter what it is.
