Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 OK, so I don't even know what to say to this one. I was watching VH1 and their Behind the Music piece on Kid Rock. One of his buddies had Celiac disease and was 4'9. The narrator said this, " Celiac disease is a degenerative disease that causes stunted growth. " That's it. Until later when they said he died at age 26 because his " Celiac disease took a turn for the worse. " Like I said. I'm kinda speechless on that one. Kinda thought that was irresponsible (though the piece wasn't on Celiac itself, I thought they could have found some other way to describe it...OTOH, maybe it'll get more people to " get " that this is serious. Maybe it'll inspire more people to get tested. Maybe it'll inspire more people to research it for themselves). Or am I missing something? It's the first time I've seen celiac in the media. Kendra from OH It's not just a daydream if you decide to make it your life. --Train __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He steadfastly insisted he didn't have a form of dwarfism, rather that his growth was stunted by celiac disease. He also cheated on the diet. Perhaps non-compliance led to other health problems which actually killed him. According to IMDB.com, he had to take lots of meds and was on dialysis. ygg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Joe Calleja) Yes, he was Celiac, did he die of celiac? Indirectly, more than likely. He was also a kidney patient (brought on by non diagnosis of celiac) and one probably could contribute his short stature to affects of malnutrition from early onset celiac. Joe C was a talented (and controversial) performer about the metro detroit area in the early 90's, and I suppose later as well. I left the metro area in '92.There recently has been talk that "Posh Spice" Aka Mrs Beckham is celiac, but many belive she is not. No physician has come out and said that she was Dxed by him or her.Best!CassiGluten free in downtown Imatra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thanks y'all... I wasn't sure if there were other Kid Rock fans in the crowd Guess I think they could have just as easily said " Complications associated with... " But I tend to be picky like that. Kendra _ > 1.
