Audio: light acoustic guitar, see above, see citations
Title: none
Narration: When I was 15, my older sister Megan became very sick.
Image: #2, confused doctor

Title: none
Narration: She was in the hospital for several weeks, and the doctors couldn’t figure out why the infection she
had wouldn’t go away. They discovered that her immune system was very depressed and started testing for
autoimmune diseases. An autoimmune disease is when a person’s immune system attacks some part of their
own body, leaving other immune system functions decreased. They discovered that she had Celiac Disease, a
fairly common autoimmune disease, about 1 in 133 people have it.

Title: none
Narration: My whole family was relieved to have a diagnosis, especially because Celiac Disease is an easily
managed condition. Celiac Disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine. Mainly it interferes
with the absorption of food and nutrients. It is triggered by a protein found in wheat, barley and rye called
gluten.

healthy person to the villi of someone who has Celiac Disease
Title: none
Narration: As I said earlier, Celiac is an autoimmune disease, and the part of your body that it attacks is your
small intestine. The small intestine is a part of the digestive system and is lined with villi. Villi are tiny fingerlike
projections that absorb nutrients. When people who have Celiac Disease eat gluten, their immune system
responds by destroying these villi, leaving them essentially malnourished.
Image: #6, Photo of my family

Title: none
Narration: My sister began the mandatory gluten free diet right away, and started to feel better within days.
After confirming the diagnosis with an intestinal biopsy, my sister’s doctor’s told her that this disease was
genetic, and that everyone in her family would need to be tested. Everyone in our immediate family took a
simple blood test, which looked for abnormal levels of certain antibodies, but none suspected anyone of us
would also have it, we were all seemingly healthy. The results came back a week or two later. Everyone in my
family tested negative for the disease, except for me. I denied it at first, I was convinced there was no way I could
have a serious disease, I was healthy! I played sports and was average height and weight.

Title: none
Narration: When children have Celiac Disease, they are underweight, usually short, and overall unhealthy
looking, often with a large distended belly, due to their malnutrition, not unlike pictures of children you see from
third world countries. For Celiac patients, however, it is because their villi are damaged and they are not
receiving any of the nutrients from their food. Other child symptoms include abdominal bloating, chronic
diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, unusual stool, weight loss and irritability.

Title: text includes “Adult Symptoms” then listed “ anemia, fatigue, bone/joint pain, arthritis, osteoporosis,
depression, seizures, infertility, and skin rashes.”
Narration: The symptoms of Celiac Disease are very different in children and adults. Adult symptoms include
anemia, fatigue, bone/joint pain, arthritis, osteoporosis, depression, seizures, infertility, and skin rashes.
Video: #10, Video of endoscopy, only used part of it 0:45 to 1:00, #11- photo of an endoscope
Title: none
Narration: I had to have an endoscopy to confirm my diagnosis. An endoscopy is a procedure in which a long
tube with a camera is inserted through the mouth down into the intestine. In my particular endoscopy, the
doctors were looking for whether or not my small intestine had villi. The endoscope also has a device, which
allows the doctor to take a small piece of the intestine, for a biopsy, to 100% confirm the disease. It was an
outpatient surgery and relatively painless, it did however confirm my diagnosis of Celiac Disease.
Image: #12, photo of two doctors, gastroenterologists

Title: none
Narration: I had a lot of questions, why hadn’t I had any of the symptoms? I started seeing a new special
doctor, called a gastroenterologist, who specializes in the health of the digestive system and she told me this.
The tricky thing they have discovered about Celiac Disease is that it can remain dormant in your body. Some
things that can trigger the disease are a pregnancy, a surgery, a viral infection, or severe emotional stress.

Title: none
Narration: I was so disappointed with this diagnosis, even though it seemed silly to feel that way. All I had to
do was change my diet, easy enough right? Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. It is found mostly
in foods, but also in medicines, vitamins, and other everyday used items like chap stick and shampoo.
Image: #16, photo of food labels, pointing out wheat

Title: none
Narration: I had a really hard time at first. I had to learn to read labels and be very picky about where and
what I ate. Although the FDA requires food labels to declare wheat as being present in the food, gluten can be
hidden among other processed ingredients, such as modified food starch. Picking food to eat became a chore and
no longer pleasurable, and unfortunately, as there is no cure for Celiac Disease, the diet is a lifelong commitment.

Title: none
Narration: Things are looking up though. As I’m sure most people have noticed, more and more places are
being accommodating to people who are gluten intolerant. Many grocery stores have dedicated gluten free
sections, and several restaurants have gluten free menus. I still have to be careful though, even a very tiny
amount of gluten can be harmful.

rheumatoid arthritis
Title: none
Narration: There are times that I have cravings for a doughnut, pizza, or a cookie and the college student
budget isn’t exactly perfect for eating gluten free, but the consequences of not taking care of my Celiac Disease
can be very serious. Health issues can include cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune thyroid disease,
autoimmune liver disease, Addison’s disease, and lupus disease, all crippling, painful, and life-threatening
conditions.
Image: #22 photo of pharmecutical drugs

Title: none
Narration: I’ll admit the diet isn’t easy, but I’ve chosen to be positive and optimistic about this condition. A
new drug has come out that is a huge step towards a cure for the disease. It is a combination of enzymes that
essentially detoxify the gluten before it reaches the intestine. Unfortunately it is only available in the United
Kingdom right now, but I’m hoping it will be approved here soon.
Image: #23 photo of meat, #24 photo of fruit, #25 photo of vegetables
Title: none
Narration: Until then I’ll stick to a healthy diet of mainly meat, fruit and vegetables.
Image: #26 photo of woman with abdominal pain, #27 doctor with patient, #28 blood being drawn
Audio: light acoustic guitar, see above
Title: none
Narration: If you’re having any of the symptoms I described earlier, ask your doctor about Celiac Disease, it’s
a simple blood test and could save you from a lot of health issues later in your life.
