Silent Celiac
In my quest to learn more about my Celiac disease I have grown more frustrated than ever. My happiness to have discovered what was causing all of the negative side effects in my life has been counter balanced by the discovery that the disease that I conquered is fucking with more people than I ever imagined. Deep diving Celiac disease led me to discover that only 20% to 30% of people who have the disease actually have it diagnosed and or confirmed by a doctor. Or let me say it another way, of all the people on earth who have Celiac upwards of 70 to 80% of them do not know they have the disease. I have to let my audience know, Jack’s mind has a very difficult time trying to rationalize that. Celiac disease affects 1% of the population. Yep, that’s it only, 1%. As I write this blog there is an estimated global population of 8.16 billion people on the Earth. That means roughly 81.6 million people have the disease that I have, Celiac. Here’s where things get fucked. Only 20 to 30% of those people have it diagnosed and confirmed like I did. So it is horrifying for me to try to understand that of the 81.6 million people with the disease that I have, there are between 57,000,000 to 65,300,000 people that are traversing the earth not knowing they have Celiac. Only 16,300,000 to 24,600,000 people know they have it.
THAT IS FUCKED FOLKS!!!!
Lets break that down in the United States of America where I live. There are roughly 348,000,000 people in the United States. That means there are 3,480,000 people with Celiac disease. Of those people only 700,000 to 1,000,000 people know they have the disease . Thus meaning upwards of 2,440,000 to 2,780,000 people in the United States are living with Celiac disease and do not know it or have it diagnosed. In my house we call this a SECURITY ALERT, SECURITY ALERT!!!!
You have got to be fucking kidding me ! Its got to be a joke? Sadly, it is not. Look it up, you will not believe it.
Google Silent Celiac Symptoms and see if anyone you know, including yourself may fit that description. I’ll save you time and do it for you.
Silent Celiac Symptoms -can be subtle or not the classic gut-related ones. People might notice things like
Feeling more fatigued than usual
Maybe a bit of Brain fog
Issues like anemia because they are not absorbing the nutrients well
Joint Pain
Subtle skin rash
Little clues that something’s off
Breathe Jack. My anger stems from the fact there are people of all ages living the life I did from the age of 7 to 33. A life filled with bizarre negative side effects and poor health all from the gluten in the food and beverage they consume daily. Imagine not knowingly taking some sort of small dose of poison. Not a dose of poison that will kill you, but a dose just big enough to make you bend over in with abdominal pain. A dose just big enough to cause skin rashes. A dose just big enough to make you experience brain fog. A dose just big enough to make you stop your normal task and take a break to rest for reasons you cannot figure out. A dose just big enough to make you feel that you live in a state of low grade irritation. A state of constant unwell.
Well now you can imagine what it like to live with silent Celiac. And if you or someone you know has any of those symptoms it’s time to do yourself and them a favor and cut it out. That’s it, CUT IT OUT. Remove the Trigger. Yes, there it is again,

So as I wrap up this blog I hope, I hope that someone reads this and or listens to my podcast and tries this. Because it will work and someone’s life as a result will change for the better. They will feel and look better. And that’s it, it started once one person figures is out, there’s approximately 65,299,000 more people to go. Our work has begun. Why don’t you be the one. Join me and help. Let’s do it. It’s time
