Coealic on TV - House
 An episode of House aired recently in Australia that mention celiac disease! Cameron brings up wheat gluten. Both Kara and Michael had celiac disease, an affliction where the body cannot process gluten. Each time the gluten was introduced to the body, the small intestines were further damaged, until they reached the point where they couldn’t receive vitamins and minerals. This led to the niacin deficiency, which created the other problems. Celiac is also why Michael’s medicines didn’t work. His body couldn’t absorb them. Additionally, celiac patients are susceptible to cancer of the stomach lining, which would explain the bloody vomiting. Posted by Tracey |
