@@ReZpawner Thanks, I knew exactly how long to skip 🏆
No thanks. The world worked just fine before this product.
If UA-cam fails at least you know you can go into selling snake oils.
I found out I had celiac over a decade ago when I was 29. I had been sick my whole life, very fatigued, and ALWAYS HUNGRY. My mom took me to doctors and they test me for thyroid problems. My body finally shut down, my muscles didn’t work anymore, my blood was half clotted, I had no white blood cells to fight infection, so I had lots of blood infections, amongst other issues. Turns out everything was from being incredibly malnourished due to lifelong celiac. Yet I was overweight because I ate all the time and basically survived off of sugar. So celiac wasn’t something doctors thought of when they looked at me. I stopped eating gluten, and all of my problems went away within 6 months and never came back. It irks me when people talk about going gluten free as a fad diet, but this “fad diet” among celebrities and the uninformed has created plenty of gluten free foods on the market. Thanks Simon for helping some people realize that there is an actual serious medical condition surrounding this. I’m glad that these days kids get tested pretty quickly when they have symptoms, because now doctors know what those symptoms are, and they know how to treat it.
I lost 40 pounds before my diagnosis. I hate fad diet ppl. This isn't a choice for some.
This is very interesting, I guess because my region had rice as the main food source we don’t even know this disease
Most doctors...
My sis has celiac we were so scared she had cancer after her blood tests.
Most people I know would know that gluten free isn't a fad diet when you're celiac, but I'm sorry you have to go through that.
Shout out to the good people of Canada for their lifesaving food deliveries to the Netherlands during the "Hunger Winter".
I hope our countries continue to be friends throughout the years!
agreed!
Hmm. No thanks to the Americans or British though? 🤔 Maybe we should demand repayment for the food we dropped then?
And shout out to the United States for helping out in pretty much every other emergency situation around the world ever.
@@SkunkApe407 sounds like something America would try. You know, totally dicking people.
As a Celiac mom, I know exactly what this video is about even before watching. It’s a fascinating story about how the cause was discovered- thank you for bringing awareness to a disease that is often over looked as a “fad diet” or “being picky,” it’s neither!
My friends daughter has celiacs. That poor kid can't eat most snacks kids love
@@jeffrichards1537 it’s definitely a tricky thing to navigate! My daughter was diagnosed at 2 years old and now at 4 is starting to advocate for herself and knows what will make her sick. There are lots of yummy gf foods for her!
99.9% chance your kid is not celiac and you are just a bored white middle class woman seeking attention by pretending your kid is. Gluten free almost aways means bored housewife mother.
@@darkjudge8786 and you're ignorant.
@@darkjudge8786 Dude. Go take a nap, you're being salty for no reason.
My sister, born Dec 1942, has coeliac - and yes she is still alive! She was in a ward of Myrtle Street Children's Hospital, Liverpool under the care of Professor Capon. Kept alive with bananas and iron injections. This was in the middle of WW2 but every ship into Liverpool from the Caribbean carried at least one stand of bananas, no matter what their main cargo was. Even including Royal Navy vessels. Those bananas were taken straight up to the Children's Hospital, keeping up a constant supply.
When my daughter was born we could not understand why she wasn't gaining weight. At 6 months old she only weighed 11lbs. Her blood tests showed she was celiac and getting through the breast milk.
2.5 years later she is doing fantastic. We don't keep any gluten in the house as she is sensitive in the parts per million region. Being gluten free isn't all that bad, my wife even started a successful GF baking business from it. 😃
How do you like it?
6 months and 11lbs!!?! You guys must have been terrified, that's legitimately frightening to picture. I would be afraid of my child being taken away at that stage, geeze..,
@@colemarie9262 that was a very legitimate concern of ours.
@@VincentGonzalezVeg it's not too bad. Lots of label reading. Fortunately there are more food options than there use to be.
Wonderful for the turn-around! It must have been terrifying at the time.
I admitted a patient to hospice last year for end stage celiac disease. I knew she was dying when I saw her but didn't know why. After picking apart her medical history I found out she had celiac disease. A lifetime of untreated celiac had devastated her body and ultimately took her life.
Simon quoting Dicke: “To the [celiac] children, the shortage of food was less severe than the toxic effects of wheat products.”
UA-cam in the middle of that quote: “Let’s interrupt your video to play an ad for Sara Lee bread.”
🤦♂️
Must get rid of toxic in community
I had an ad break at the same point. The ad started with someone blowing out candles on a birthday cake.
And that just about perfectly explains life as a Celiac. Going through your life in an ADHD fueled manner (okay, not all of us have ADHD and this is his low ADHD on this channel) and whoops. There is a random wheat product pushed in your face.
😅😅
Accidental irony or deliberate?
Audrey Hepburn lived through that time of starvation and Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Just finished reading book about her life growing up called "Dutch Girl." It discusses bombing, murder of family members, Dutch resistance, starvation, and eating tulip bulbs. The only book about her life that is sanctioned by her son.
Oh, I didn't know she was Dutch
My wife's grandparents were in ROtterdam in the war, her gf was in the Dutch Resistance and twice the germans tried to conscript him and he got away both times. The wife regales how her grandfather mentioned at Christmas dinner one year when she was small that if this had been the war still, they would have ate the cat. Yeah that traumatized her
Oh gosh, the tulip bulbs. My grandpa grew up in the Netherlands during WWII as well. Only way to gross him out was to talk about eating tulip bulbs. This man would eat *anything*, even once it had gone bad, with nary a complaint. I'd go so far as to say he had no gag reflex, with tulip bulbs as a lone exception.
Was that why she was so slim ?
Hepburn was Dutch? She had the least hurdy-gurdy accent ever, I always assumed she was French
Thank you!! I have Celiac disease and have endured decades of people being stupid and rude toward me, thinking that gluten free is some sort of joke, fad, dietary "preference", etc. Gluten free foods are literally life saving for both me and my son, and anyone else with Celiac. I am eternally grateful for all of the food choices we have these days that are being made gluten free.
Well it is a fad diet, just because it's not for you doesn't mean it's not for the majority of man bun adorned lumberjack wannabes.
I got gluten and lactose intolerance. It's really the brain fog, depression, diarrhea, and anxiety part that gets me though. I was raised on asian food though, so I never really found out about it till recently.
It might be serious for you, but its been hijacked by hipsters and turned into a fad diet. On the other hand them turning it into a fad diet also creates a reasonable economic market for gluten free products, so if they hadn't hijacked it and turned it into a fad, you wouldn't have as many gluten free options as you do...
@@Michael-du2fv eh, the side effect of gluten free being a fad diet is of benefit to quiet a few people when the main food staple is painful to lethal. Which is kinda the point of Kenzie being thankful for the vid. As it's validation of the fact that there is a real reason for some people to be gluten free.
@@zetsumeinaito yes, for the few people with celiac, going gluten-free is a thing, for the rest of us it’s bulls*ht marketing hype.
I have Celiac. My neurologist is the one who realized it because I have seizures if I get any gluten. By any gluten, I mean any...I was at an event. Someone ate a gluten bread sandwich, thoroughly wiped their hands off though on a dry napkin, borrowed my program and looked through it. I took it back, didn't flip through it at all but unfortunately didn't wash my hands after putting the program away. I then ate a chip of course using my fingers to do so. 15 minutes later I had a seizure. I will have seizures off and on for 3 days after any gluten. If I quickly take a lot of the enzymes that are supposed to help it cuts my seizures down to a day and a half.
I know a lot of people hate the fad of going gf to lose weight (I gained when I went gf), but I appreciate it. When I was diagnosed there was only one edible pasta, and it wasn't great. There was also only one tolerable bread and it tasted like a souffle rather than bread. 10 years later I got to taste a sourdough in a store and literally burst into tears at the sample counter because I'd missed it so much. When celebrities decide something is cool, companies actually try harder and the rest of us now have options that aren't completely awful.
Yes, this is the positive side of fad diets. I'm happy for you that you have options now! :) Now if only some celebrity would come out with a soy allergy, I could buy prepackaged food again not loaded with soy protein. :P
My sister has it. We didn't know what was going on until she was much older. She suffered so much for so long...
@@SelenaTroyeSL I was diagnosed when I was about 16-17 (oddly due to me getting nail fungus). My only symptoms beforehand was essentially chronic tiredness, but everyone thought I was lazy. My mom said it was like they got a whole new son afterwards.
Now the best case scenario if I consume gluten is that I throw up and worst case is some degree of diarrhea and me being out cold for almost a whole day
Hmmm a new possible way to poison you? Lmao. Concentrate gluten powder would take care of you. :]
@@xzonia1 Yes! My grandson is allergic to tree nuts, peanuts & legumes, dairy, eggs, and soy. He is not on a vegan diet - he eats meat with no problem. But I'll look first for vegan recipes or products to narrow down the search since they have no dairy or eggs. I often find that vegan recipes or products contain soy and/or pea protein. It makes it that much harder to find choices for him that the entire extended family will enjoy. I finally found an ice cream substitute that he can have that actually tastes good and has a nice texture. Oddly enough, it's not one of the many expensive specialty brands I wasted money on that were awful, but a reasonably priced store brand non-dairy "ice cream."
It's interesting how he says the banana lobby kept the diagnosing and treatment of celiac disease suppressed in the US, through lobbying. I am certain that is part of what happened, but I wouldn't discount all the industries tied to the wheat lobby from playing their part as well. We are the country, after all, that invented the food pyramid, with bread as the base, because the bread/cereal industry wanted to sell more stuff.
Why would the bandanna lobby want to suppress celiac information when eating bandannas as a treatment for celiac would INCREASE demand for bananas?
@@jimbaranski4687 They were trying to suppress that gluten was the cause of celiac because eating bananas doesn't do anything about celiac. It was a false cure because people on a banana only diet were not eating gluten. Once it was understood that gluten caused celiac, patients would not be restricted to an all banana diet, and banana sales would go down.
Honestly at least bread was one of the things that seriously helped feed people in bulk in the past, so it makes sense to still hold it in high regard even if highly processed white bread is definitely not something you should base a diet on now (whole grains or sourdough are decent though, basically anything that makes it a bit more of a complex carb instead of basically just straight sugar). But yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they were also involved
This is fascinating since so many people have been saying that this is a "new" phenomenon simply because of the awareness level and the ability to get more celiac friendly foods.
It's probably that the children died early and children died of so many causes before the 20th Century that they never got diagnosed properly. It used to be called "Failure to Thrive"
Pretty sure the "new" part is actually gluten intolerance. brain fog/forgetfulness, depression, anxiety, diarrhea or constipation, and joint pain.
The studies estimating 0.5% to 13% of the world's pop is gluten intolerant is what really kicked off the gluten free diet.
Really, I wonder what the demographics are for it. Like all Asians have some level of Lactose intolerance, where as it's really rare with Europeans and the middle east. Mainly due to milk and cheese culture as it never developed in most other places in the world. Like there's a lot of regions of the world that didn't have access to wheat or rye, thus gluten was rarely a staple.
@@zetsumeinaito Yeah, and those numbers are quite wild. Zero point five percent is 1 in 200 while 13% is about 1 in 7. It probably means the studies haven't been done that well.
I was surprised that it had been identified as a specific illness so long ago. I just assumed that it would have been put in the unknown bucket.
I was diagnosed with Celiac disease when I was 60 years old. I actually showed symptoms most of my life but noone put the picture together. Chronic anemia is common, but if you're a young female it is almost always blamed on menstruation. I was told when I was 25 and again at 45 that I had "malapsorption problems" but they never tried to find out why. I can see why it is so underdiagnosed when it took so long to get diagnosed. I finally got it after asking my Dr. To check my level of Vitamin D because I'd read it is often low with Fibromyalgia, and as it turns out, with Celiac disease. I am So glad to see this episode because education of the public is so important. I hope someone sees themselves in this and talks to the doctor about testing!
I never understood the whole gluten problem before. Admittedly, I never bothered to actually look into it. Thanks, Simon!
Right? All I knew is that every woman in my town suddenly couldn’t eat bread a couple years ago and then shit got real and just as suddenly, they were all able to go back to stress-stuffing Kings Hawaiian sweet rolls in their mouths during lockdown. Musta been them miracle bananers Simon was talking about.
Edit; Added “just as” in front of the second “suddenly” for better sentence structure.
@@aaronmacy9134 Really, I started wondering when he said celiac disease effects about 1 in 100 people, why do about half the people in my town think they're gluten intolerant.
@@aaronmacy9134 there’s a difference between someone whose gluten intolerant and someone whose allergic to gluten or has celiac disease. And then there’s people who just don’t eat gluten as it helps them lose weight or because it helps them reduce inflammation.
@@kevinlee7263 allergic and intolerance is a very different thing. But refer to my other comment lol
@@kevinlee7263 Intolerance and celiacs are different problems. Someone with lactose intolerance gets bad gas from eatting milk so is more an issue of what is living in your gut and not life treatening although you might not want to be trapped in a elivator with someone with an intolerance after they indulge. Celiacs is actally an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the gut when exposed to gluten and can become life threatening. Some people have a gluten intolerance without having celiacs. That said half your town seems high and it is "trendy" to have issues with gluten. I have a similar condition to celicas (although not life threatening, just painful) but affects rice, rye, wheat and a number of other grains and some beans like soy and if I had a dallor for everytime someone told me I could eat something because it was "gluten free" I would be a rich person. My issue is with a different plant chemical and it seems many don't know that gluten is just a type of protien in wheat, not some crazy woo woo substance put in food to make us sick.
I am celiac. Suffered from early teen years until my final diagnosis at the age of 50. Have lived hardcore GF ever since, and my life is completely changed. Thank you for this video.

Soylent Green!
@@oneunknownvalente6892 This is why we can't have nice things...
Actually those green drinks are deceptively tasty. They use carrots to flavor which is a very sweet to it
I worked at golds gym or whatever gym and they were always selling that stuff.
And I felt great and was healthy
And I.hate that kind of shit but the carrot flavoring is addictive.
Thats a Fact btw
They hAve a lot of brands of green stuff and they're all basically owned by one company.
I was sick most of my life and saw many doctors. Didn't get diagnosed with Celiac disease until in my early 40s. My mother never got diagnosed, but suffered all the same symptoms I did, usually to a worse degree than I did. I stopped eating gluten, she did not. She died at the age of 58 with every symptom of Celiac disease and still no diagnosis. Official cause of death was listed as complications from diabetes, having an antibiotic resistant infection. This is serious stuff and doctors sometimes still miss it completely.
I can see how that would be a mystery for so long. In a world where bread was seen as this massive basic staple, "allergic to bread" must have seemed like an impossibility.
"May I please have a life saving Banana?" "No, Timmy, these Bananas are for the children we want to survive."
Majorkill?
I live in the US and I have to be on a gluten free diet due to an allergy. (I’ve been gf so long that Drs can’t tell if I have celiacs or not. All I know is I scratch myself bloody when I’m glutened.) The problem here is that people, including those who make your food be it in a restaurant or companies who make packaged food, either aren’t aware at how little it takes for cross contamination to happen or just don’t care. They think that just because a certain food doesn’t have gluten that means they’re in the clear. Nonononono. If there is a risk of wheat in your food, you have to treat it as if it’s regular food with gluten in it. Medications won’t list it so it is Russian roulette anytime I try something new. It sucks. And people think it’s a joke.
my ex mother in law has the same problem with milk (except milk is a liquid so a little easier to contain than a powder than can linger in the air to cross contaminate stuff), she went to hospital for something unrelated and got medication from the hospital pharmacy that made her sick because someone had responded to her statement 'I can't have milk at all in any way' by ticking the 'low lactose diet' box on the form which doesn't trigger an alert for the pharmacy. Eventually when her doctor found out he made enough of a fuss that the hospital took back the medication that was using milk as a binder and replaced it at no extra charge.
Good grief. So less than a century ago, Celiac disease was basically a death sentence.
I know two people who would be dead prior to his research.
I have Coeliac Disease, I always maintained I'd have died if I'd been born in a different era. This is the first history of Coeliac Disease getting discovered type video I've seen on UA-cam and I'm grateful for it.
One would think why it was possible that the desperate parents didn't try different diets so long that the right one was found way earlier. Well, results weren't immediate, and at the time the concept of different people needing different diets was not commonly known. For example even in 1950 it was joked that the lady of the house got sick every time fish was served. No-one thought that she was allergic, or that she shouldn't have eaten what was offered, not to mention that different meal would have made for her.
There was a medieval precedent for the idea that you should have a diet tailored to your particular needs but that was based on humoral theory. e.g. if you had a fever you had too much hot dry humour so you needed to balance that with cold wet humours like fish (and make sure to cook it in a wet way like boiling as grilling could mess up it's wet nature and make it too dry) and you could be diagnosed as having a inherent tendency towards a certain humour and prescribed a diet suited to counteract that. Of course that only applied to the wealthy who got a choice of food and how it was cooked, a doctor could prescribe roast beef and spices to a peasant whose humour was too cold and wet but there's no way it's going to actually happen.
I think many Dutch ppl don't even know about this, myself included so thanks 👍 usually I already know a bit about the topics of videos but this was completely new
Also if you ever want to learn how to pronounce names correctly in Dutch then I'd be happy to help
The biggest problem for those with genuine gluten intolerance are “trendy eaters”…those who tell everyone loudly that they are “gluten free”, and demand annoyingly that everything they get is free of gluten. They also make it clear they are doing this as a dietary choice. This means, sadly, that sometimes proper precautions aren’t taken when preparing food for these people, which isn’t a problem for the “trendies” but it is a huge problem for those who genuinely can’t eat gluten.
You never said barley has the same gluten as wheat and rye. This is a shame, as it very much does. Much love for the rest of the vid from a celiac sufferer.
What about oats or oatmeal?
@@jimbaranski4687 Oats are better, but not necessarily fully safe for someone with Celiac. It depends on how they are processed. Often they are processed on the same equipment and get contaminated during manufacture, transportation, or storage. Pure oats are themselves fine though, as they contain no gluten.
coffee is life.
never has a youtube presenter spoken into my soul like this.
This story reminds me of the origins of the Mediterranean diet. It was actually originally a diet of poor Italian peasants in fishing villages in the period immediately after World War II. The reason why it is low in butter and red meat is that those villagers simply could not afford those things. So they ended up eating lots of fish and vehetables and nuts and olive oil which were cheaper.
In addition, being fishermen and farmers, they were very physically active because their livelihoods required it.
That’s not actually true, they were studied during LENT. And orthodox lent is hardcore. When it isn’t lent, the “Mediterranean” diet is full of meat and butter. The “studies” if you actually go into them, are a complete fraud.
Wow! Fascinating! It reminds me of a joke when I was being taught the scientific method about a man in Britain who kept throwing bannanas out of the windows of tains to keep tigers away. When someone pointed out that there weren't any tigers, he replied "see it works!"
My parents in-law were children in Holland during this time & hearing about the hardships they went through trying to get food is heartbreaking.
I remember a moment early in my tenure at the hospital. When a prescription mentioned the diagnosis of 'sprue', I was the only one who recognized the term.
My supervisor wondered why a patient would have been diagnosed with an evergreen tree. Spruce.
I had a friend who almost died during the Hunger Winter. After the War, he emigrated to Canada where I met him.
I don't have celiac, but I feel significantly better when I don't have gluten. I found that out when I switched to keto. I would cheat sometimes, and every cheat I felt fine, except when it was something with a lot of bread. I'm not really keto anymore, I don't worry about following a diet. I just avoid all bread and I feel better now than I ever have
That might have been keto flu- from what I've managed to find, your body can't burn sugars and fats at the same time, and when you manage to get into ketosis (probably misspelled, burning fat for energy) and then eat carbs or other sugars you can develop something that seems to me like a much less dangerous form of ketoacidosis (equally likely misspelled, people with diabetes can die from this) that is generally called keto flu. Gluten may or may not make you ill, but any form of sugar WILL if you're on a keto diet.
Although, I should note that you can develop Gluten sensitivity if you stop eating it for a long time and then start again. Just, something to be aware of
Did any other celiacs click on this video already knowing what the illness was going to be? Thank you for bringing more attention to celiac disease. One minor modifier, gluten is in wheat, rye, barley, and often oats, not simply wheat and rye.
I need to show this video to some of my family and friends that just don't get it. I have Celiac Disease and had never heard of it until I was diagnosed. I have the genetic predisposition of it but it didn't rear it's ugly head until after I had been in the hospital with a deadly infection. I'm told that my illness triggered it, but I was undiagnosed for close to 10 years. In that time I developed more autoimmune illnesses by continuing to eat gluten unknowingly.
As a history buff I enjoyed the video.
We found out my niece had celiac when she was four. When we go out to restaurants now and ask for a gluten-free option for her the staff ALWAYS assume my (very skinny) mother or myself are on a fad diet and some of the meals she's been served up were absolutely appalling. The worst was a ham steak that was burned halfway through, a pineapple ring and a pile of very bitter salad greens with no dressing. For an 8y/o. They made up for it with a massive sundae on the house (soft serve and toppings are usually fine, though we always fight over her wafers, lol) After that I make a point of mentioning our respective food allergies to the staff so they can't pretend they didn't know -.-
As a cook, PLEASE let your servers know of any allergies like this. There is a huge difference between "I don't eat gluten" and "gluten will fucking kill me", and it's always nice to know when I have to take extra precautions (new spatulas, new cutting boards, etc
Lord there is no reason that ham should be burnt 💙 I'm sorry
I love learning about the origins of diseases! More videos like this please!!
Thank you for this info today you literally may have helped my wife we've been having these symptoms for a while and now we atleast have something to look into
Have known about Gluten free products and diets for some time, but never the reason why, just assumed it was for something non-lethal like lactose intolerance. Series title still living up to its name, thank you!
It is true some people can't eat gluten... but i an pretty sure a lot of people merely choose to do so because of a trend and some minor perceived health benefits.
@@ohifonlyx33 Yeah, I've heard horror stories from people who work in restaurants and get mega-Karen customers demanding everything be gluten free. On the flip side, one of my best friends has a girlfriend that he has joked about that if they ever get in a fight, he will just surround himself with slices of bread and tell her to eff off because it's deadly to her.
@@johns9652 yeah, you never know. that's why if you work in the service industry and someone orders soy milk or gulten-free bread or diet soda you just GIVE it to them. I've heard about people having terrible reactions because someone thought "that skinny chick doesn't need to drink diet soda" not knowing she's diabetic, etc.
@@ohifonlyx33 you'd be wrong. I, like many others, am non-celiac gluten sensitive. Consuming what would be considered a "normal" amount of gluten causes me a broad range of issues, including inflammation of my intestinal tract and joints. Pasta and other high density foods that are high in gluten sometimes don't digest at all, and I wind up vomiting up a starchy nastiness that looks like something out of The Ecorcist. Although not life threatening, my condition does make life miserable if I stray from a gluten-free diet.
It isn't attention seeking or a fad, it's the recent elevation of awareness surrounding the condition that has people saying "wait, is that what's wrong with me?" The ready availability of a wide range of gluten-free products makes it easy to self diagnose non-celiac gluten sensitivity through dietary experimentation. If you remove gluten from your diet and your symptoms subside, no need to pay a doctor is there?
@@SkunkApe407 hello? I just said some people can't eat gluten. That obviously applies to you even without celiac.. I didn't EVER specify that celiac disease was the ONLY gluten problem. Simply that a lot of people do it because they see others doing it. it's a health trend that is serious to varying degrees for some people and a choice for others.
As somebody who got to nearly 30 before being diagnosed (I'm now 50), thanks for this video.
Another protein in wheat has been found that causes celiac symptoms, that doesn't show up on the blood test. The protein is called Amylase-trypsin Inhibitors. Unlike gluten, it is not processed out during the vinegar making process. Both can be present at the same time, and it appears ATI sensitivities are linked to the severity of other autoimmune disease.
Simon can make a story about celiac disease interesting. Great job!
XD the way the sponsorship message ended... green mustache, coffee is life, i forgot the free vit D... can't cut now.
I love this
I have a cousin with Coeliac. His colon was removed, and he has that colostomy bag bag attached to him 24/7.
Thank you for the video and posting this during "Movember". As a former sufferer of Ulcerative Colitis, I really appreciate the attention on the various gastro issues/diseases many suffer from. You note that the banana lobby played a role in suppressing diagnoses of Celiac in the US, but I would have to think the huge wheat growers lobby has also helped suppress the issues with our modern day wheat. Either way, thank you again and love the content.
I would have thought Haas prescribed avocado's
It's not Haas anymore, apparently it is Hass avocados, and millions of us have been wrong for decades. I didn't believe it, but look it up, crazy stuff.
"The powerful banana lobby"
the what now?
I'd recommend you to read about it, they even participated in coups. Quite sad and interesting how the most stupid things can exist
The United Fruit company was so powerful it had a mercenary force, The US Marine Corps.
@@ATOMIC_V155 I'm aware of powerful lobbies, it just strikes me as odd there'd be one for bananas. What's next? A military for oranges? Franchise wars? A United Federation of Kumquats? It's like using Fort Knox to secure Funkos instead of gold, it's silly.
@@NeoTechni The US has many powerful lobbies for things. The liquor lobby, yes indeed bananas, oranges, beef, and so on. And don't get me started on the horrible US healthcare system.
I like how he says vitamins
Vittamins to complete your vittles!
Thank you so much for this episode!! I'm a celiac and I appreciate knowing the history - cheers!
Excellent presentation! Your report accurately explains explains the science, history, and best of all, the simplicity of the treatment. Well done!
Most interesting thing I learned today, you can say diarrhea on UA-cam but not a**.
I've had celiac disease my whole life. Great video. My kids were dx 4 years ago.
I do not have celiac disease, but I have non-celiac gluten sensitivity (very common in type 1 diabetics). This story is fascinating and gives me even more sympathy for those with celiac.
I can’t believe we didn’t figure this out earlier. It’s a pretty simple fix when you have access to the right food
i have a relative with the disease. I get that it's a big deal but i didn't know that it can literally kill wow. But yeah I know that it can be really rough on your intestines, like make them struggle to perform properly and stuff.
Not sure if it's common or not but I can get really tired.
Once I was out cold for almost an entire day, and after being awake for a couple of hours I went to bed for the night
@@AltonV I think it's partly because it affects how you absorb nutrients so it's kind of like if you just didn't eat, you get tired and generally weak/sick feeling.
@@tradingfriends probably. Before my diagnosis (at 16-17 years old) I had essentially chronic tiredness, although I didn't know it at that time
@@tradingfriends this, undiagnosed children with celiac basically die from malnutrition even though they're eating more than enough food.
This almost happened to me
@@tradingfriends I have celiac disease, so I can tell you why it affects your nutrient absorption. Celiac is an auto-immune disorder. Gluten triggers what would be a histamine reaction if it was an allergy. Instead, it triggers the immune system to attack the lining of your small intestine. It's a bit like killing the messenger, since the lining is what detects the gluten. For me, it means I feel these sharp pains in my guts and I develop differently painful levels of gas in my intestines. These go along with the brain-fog, severe need to sleep, and the corollary sensation that I am starving. The weekend I realized my gluten tolerance had become about nil, I spent it eating flour tortillas (they were the only thing I could face and craved them horrifically), sleeping, and swallowing extra-strength simethicone pills. I realized after a couple of days that the tortillas might be the problem. Sure enough, when I pushed myself to eat a meal with no gluten, I started recovering. Ever since, I seem to be a highly sensitive sufferer, as I can't order a lettuce-wrapped burger from any fast food chain that puts the lettuce down where they put their buns. I can't see crumbs, but I react to the tiny bits sticking to the leaves.
Coffee is life Simon!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Isometric exercises are something like a plank. You are not doing repetitive movements, you are contracting and working your muscles holding the contractions for a duration
The year is 2030, all videos on UA-cam has Simon in it, it’s almost impossible to find one without our one and only Simon
Absolutely fascinating!
I was once on a banana diet. I didn't lose any weight, but could I climb trees!
All joking aside, I never knew any of this and had no idea about celiac disease and gluten. Excellent and important video, Simon!
I recently saw a picture of Simon clean shaven.
Vogue !!
eating while watching this feels like a relief.
"while the two left untreated EVENTUALLY died"; damn that is dark. They knew the other children recovered and some significant amount of time must have passed while they just watched these other two die just for the control group rather than concluding the experiment once the others recovered and these two clearly weren't and going ahead and giving them some bananas.
I did an essay on celiac in high school for one of my classes (and the next year, one lactose intolerance). Interesting stuff!
1% of the population? I had no idea that celiac disease was so common. The majority of "gluten free" individuals don't actually suffer from it. But apparently more do than I had imagined.
I love the funny Simon vs the serious Simon in older videos.
I don't have straight up celiac, but I had carpal tunnel syndrome in my early 20's and it went away when I severely cut down on my sugar and bread intake.
At 9:33, yet another example of progress being blocked by Big Banana.
Is there such thing as non foul smelling diarrhea?
Ask the Japanese.. 🤣🤣
Coeliac is foul plus, trust me on this
Perform a thorough study and let us know!
Try eating nothing but fresh plums for a day, and don't open any windows.
There is coeliacs disease and FODMAPS, they are different but similar in some ways. I was involved in a companies' research to produce a coeliac safe alternative to wheat pasta. It's not easy to produce a product with the same mouth feel. It took years, and it it is more expensive than wheat pasta. Our gluten-free products are a minuscule part of our range, but we had one worker who was a coeliac. He is now deceased, but we manufacture the products in his honour. There are many other gluten-free products, rice and buckwheat come to mind. Coeliacs disease is no longer a death sentence, and it does not mean a boring diet. Do an internet search for gluten-free recipes. I am not a coeliac, but some coeliac recipes are just so damn good.
HEY IT'S MY FAVORITE BLOKE FROM THE BIO CHANNEL. HOW NICE A TOTALLY NEW Y.T CHANNEL
Brought to you by Soylent green lol... Love you bro
One of my friends has celiac disease and I'm glad there's more options for her nowadays than when we were younger
Your commercials are the best!
Sidney Haas and the Powerful Banana Lobby is going to be the name of my band.
I used to deal with special diets in a carrier many years ago, so I knew the answer but not the how it was discovered. Very interesting although maybe a little macabre(?).
An incredible story. Thank you.
As an American with celiac disease diagnosed in my thirties (and half of my immediate family subsequently also turning out positive for it), I am appalled by how long the condition was not only recognized but also understood. My best friend in college was diagnosed after we met around 2000 and it took months and her almost being killed by doctors twice before they figured out what was going on…and finding food or any applicable info on either the diet or the condition was nearly impossible. Thankfully we’re all doing MUCH better even if our grocery bills quadrupled in price. There’s still quite a ways to go in the USA but it is improving.
Thanks for saying the word isometric. I’ve been trying to think of the exercises I did in high school 50 plus years ago.
I don’t experience celiac but ibs so I understand some of this pain and I’m sorry for any one who’s had to suffer cause of it!
Thanks Simon
Green stuff good for people who have enough to eat but if you're starving you need calories to stay alive so low sugar and low calories won't help. The people in Holland said the tulip bulbs are not toxic at all and fairly nutritious , on the other hand daffodils are toxic. The tulips have saved people. The reason you have to dig up tulips when they finish the bloom is if you leave them in the ground they get eaten by the wildlife and soil creatures.
Even as someone who has this I really had no idea it could kill people💀
Today I F**ked Off. All day in fact. It was a good day. Then when I was done, I found out some things thanks to Simon "facts boy" Whistler! Thanks Whistle Boy!
It's also interesting to note that children born after the famine had higher rates of obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, and such. As their bodies were doing their best to store and not let go of a single calorie in preparation for survival of a famine that would never come. Amazing what may be passed along that beautiful genetic latter that bridges our mortal coils.
Good information like always
Shoutout to people with rheumatoid arthritis as well
Imagine that lobbyists causing huge issues
It's almost like a system that allows corporations and businesses to interact with the government is inherently corrupt or something
@@Gay_Priest this!
'Powerful Banana Lobby' Such a wonderful mental image.
Not celiac related, but my grandmother was from Poland and during WWII was kept in a refugee camp in S.A. She sold her wedding and engagement rings for bananas and that kept her and her remaining two children alive. She always taught us this.
YOOOOOOOO MY SISTER HAS THIS!
Thank you for the information Simon you are a great host I enjoy our channel very much
"Coffee is life!" so true!
A major contribution to our health today is the increase of population. Diet is an extremely complex knowledge base that can only be appreciated at its current level because of the massive variety of situations and observers over an incredible amount of time that allow situations like the ones described here to be observed and described. Everything else fits inside of that.
Simon is 100% correct!!! Coffee is Life!!!!!
"Coffee is life." Word, Simon.
This was esp fascinating for me as my mother has celiac disease
