0:00 A Man Ate 600 Pounds Ramen Over 6 Months
0:18 He isn't pregnant, but he's here 😳 to deliver
0:32 An important 🥶 history
1:16 Noodle 🍜 Good
2:10 Is this stress 😳 or is something else 🤔 going on here
3:06 I'd have my wife to drive me too instead of getting charged $9000 for 🚑 ambulance via high deductible unsurance
3:39 Gut health 😌 very important
5:06 Have you ever eaten noodles 🍜 so good that you look like this?
6:35 haha water go 😳 glug glug
8:00 What if we 😳 deamidated our glutamine residues 😳 after lunch
9:28 Pack it up boys 👨⚕️ everything's cured
10:00 noooo u cant just eat 4 pounds of instant noodles everyday
10:45 I have no idea what my husband is doing but I think he's smuggling forbidden noodles into his workplace
11:24 What 😲 are 😲 those
12:54 New Oma
13:41 U think 🤔 it's refractory but how can we be sure?
14:43 This is what the noodles revealed was happening in his gut

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
I love instant ramen. So sad not being able to live off it
What's up with the subliminals?
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.
Last time I ate 100lbs of ramen/month, I was awarded a Bachelor's degree
College joke?
@@nekonomicon2983 indeed :)
Exact same thing happened to me!
Ramenology.
pasta-theology? May his noodley appendages embrace you, Ramen!
"He isn't pregnant, but he is here to deliver" Has me dieing in my bed.
Cool story
So you were molding or engraving metal in bed? Cool talent.
Hahah sounds like it could be rap verse
I was looking for this comment lmao
@@jenniferlonnes7420 or coloring her hair or cloth?
The actors doing the reenactment were epic and I had to chuckle at the instant noodle containers all over his body while he seizures part.
Shit was fucken epic 😂
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! 😂❤
Pretty sure thats Jon Hamm. (obviously i Know its not, but looks like him lol)
@@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.
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.
Me too
"This woman only ate frozen food for months, this is what happened to her organs"
Me: ok, jeez (puts a few fresh vegetables in my shopping cart)
I envy the dim. Such simple problems with easy fixes.
Me too...
Me too...
This actor deserves an oscar, an emmy, and a grammy.
What no Tony?
@@derpleyew We need more singing and dancing in Chubbyemu's videos
@@derpleyew🤣
Poor Man's Jon Hamm. Love his expressions!
I love that Emu now has hours of B-roll to drop in of him eating/sitting on a toilet and emoting horrible discomfort.
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!
😢This is what passes as a
poor man's Ramen Holiday !
He's a terrific actor!
"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.
This actor is bloody great, always playing his roles to the max.
I got the notification for this while eating cup noodles 😭
Id stop probably now
Same 😂
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 😭
GN has hypernoodleemia.
Hyper- meaning high, noodle meaning noodle and -emia meaning presence in blood
Lol
😂
🤣
Ha ha. Good one.
NOODLE MEANING NOODLE 😂
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.
The actor for GN killed me with his expressions. Oscar performances all around. love the enactments this channel has taken on.
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.)
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.
Subscriber Watched Chubbyemmu's Videos for 4 Years. This is What Happened to His Biology Knowledge
That woman lives rent free in my head 😂 I think about that case every time I see soy sauce
Shows how good a memory you have is what it shows...
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.
You may try to slip it past us, Bernhard, but we always see the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
I like how you educate us by telling stories, and those visuals are really well made !!
to me, the actor is a part of this channel now. hiring the guy was such a good move all your videos with him are great.
For real. The loose poops portrayal was epic. 😂
Just watched her poison him a few minutes ago.
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
These videos are so well done in various ways, good story telling, b roll videos, factual science stuff.
The most entertaining videos on medical issues out there.
The bit with him shaking under a pile of noodle cups is a mood killer. 😂
Really? What mood were you in that got knocked off by such a thing?
@@EmeraldEyesEsoteric I guess cause it's describing scary symptoms then it cuts to that comedic shot
I cackled...while eating ramen noodles😮
That's the best animation
Having a fit under a pile of noodle cups brilliant. That was my favorite scene
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.
Celiac here! Thank you for the wonderful explanation!!
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.
We have 10 of those "bulk" packs which contain 5 noodle packets each. We eat through it quickly. Yes we are broke.
I've got one, how am i doing?
@@Aphelia. You are heard. 💙
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’m a med student so i’m basically living off coffee and instant noodles and these past videos are making me question my life choices
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.
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.
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.
ironic lol
Thanks so much for uploading such a useful video. You deliver vital information to us as though we were five years old. I hope you’ll continue to talk about those common forms of food intolerance.
THANK YOU FOR FINALLY GIVING THE CELIACS REPRESENTATION!!! THIS IS A TREMENDOUS MOMENT OF PRIDE FOR MY PEOPLE, MY FEW REMAINING VILLI ARE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL
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.
Harsh conditions of spending 15$ per day on food alone 🥵🥵🥵
@@susabobuswho said it was 15?
@@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
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
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.
This episode helped me learn more in detail about celiac disease, which is what I have as well. Thank you!
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.
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)
the time stamp titles are so funny, amazing video
I love this channel! The stories are informative and entertaining, great acting. 😊
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..."
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 ♥
Great explanation as always, it must be hard to find these case-specific details.
I've seen ads for air up before, but was never convinced. but i love Dr. Bernard and his passion for health advocacy, so i think ill reconsider :)
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
MY DOC TOLD THEM NOT TO FEED ME UNHEALTHY FOODS AND TO GIVE ME 3 MEALS A DAY AT PROPER TIMINGS BUT NO
WHYYY
This man became the most max prestige college student at 42 years old. Exemplary.
I’m loving these time stamp captions 😂
Thanks, Happy holidays.....
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
@@TheGalwayfanwhy are you being unnecessarily shitty to him?
bringing kids into this work knowing you have a debilitating disease is so sad. i hope your kids don’t follow in your footsteps
@@SuperBaddlyAwsome Spot the eugenicist
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.
Been here since you had about 25k subs.. your quality in content has always been great on top., thank you ❤❤
Not only is this interesting, but very educational. As a bio major, I appreciate this learning/entertaining opportunity!
Such a well-informed anysis. Great content here.
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?)
This was my exact diagnosis story too - thought I was tired and ill all the time because of crappy super noodles... No it was the gluten 😂
trauma dump
When I was high in school, my lunch usually was just a packet of weed.
On my way home from school i use to buy ramen noodles and after eating it i use to have a serious headache, the last time i ate it was over 5yrs ago
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.
One of the smoothest sponsor transitions I've ever seen.

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 UA-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?
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.
i KNOW yall had a blast filming this
4:05 !! I saw that! And it's true! Mitochondria IS the powerhouse of the cell! :D Great and informative video as per usual!
Reading the timestamps alone is truly an experience.
I really appreciate the humor put into the time stamp titles.
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
Omg this was the most hilarious ad! Seeing the dr act was so funny
......the facial expressions in the toilet scenes are phenomenal!
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.
good luck on finals! i was really skeptical of it at first but i really like it. having cherry cola flavor out of silver bottle as im typing this!
Thanks doc! Gonna give it a try

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.
Wolfgang take a bow ! Bravo sir, bravo...
As someone with severe anaphylaxis to wheat, I've never really understood the severity of celiac disease. Thanks for helping to fill in the gap!
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.
@@Fredrikbb gluten intolerance and coeliac disease are two different things
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
Glad to hear he recovered. So many you report on don't seem to make it.
Thats the most sarcastic air up sponsor clip I've ever seen, I love it
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 🎉
RIP mentor ❤
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. ❤
Thank you Sir!
My mom was one of the first few people to be diagnosed with it an it was hell for her and us to see her suffer from it and I'm glad it's getting more attention and more food is being made for people who suffer from it
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.
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.
when I was in high school, before I got my celiac diagnosis, I became convinced that my friends and family could hear my thoughts.
Great video.
Thanks for the video
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!
So I always knew celiac was an autoimmune disease that meant you couldn't eat gluten, but I never knew the biochemical reasons behind it. This video is fantastic for explaining all that! Very scary stuff Celiac can lead to.
This was so informative.. love watching your videos and i take notes everytime i watch your video😂😂...i LOVE to study about human body.
Whenever he says the pt made "a recovery" you know that person is screwed. Good job getting Jon Hamm for the video!
That guy is my favorite Chubbymu actor. Also nice touch showing the product you were advertising when you mentioned good health. That's big brain!
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
I’m addicted to these videos it’s almost every story is a plot to a psychological horror movie
The fact that you need to be lucky and have insurance which is super expensive in the Usa to get healthcare is a major issue. Many very poor countries have free healthcare from normal government taxes.
10/10 excellent video, 12/10 amazing actor, went above and beyond for his role
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.
Do you feel better now tho? Is the confusion gone? Cause I feel like my brain is damaged and I have permanent brain fog.
@@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.
That airup stuff is intriguing!!!
Cool mix of useful info and trolling. Subscribed!

0:11 absolute gold, I love this actor
these videos usually get me feeling all anxious and hypochondriacal, but this one is just making me hungry for a big bowl of noodles. why do they look so tasty???
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.
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.
i love the juxtaposition of a serious event and the... silliness.
The comments for all chubbyemu vids are just as valuable to me, as the videos themselves 🤣
