A member asked:

Is it safe for a person with celiac disease to donate blood?

Dr. Arthur Heller answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Sure, if not anemic: Celiac sprue isn't "catching"; you're blood is not tainted by infection.. If you don't have iron deficiency or anemia (both not uncommon in celiac), then yes you could donate blood, and thank you for doing it.

Dr Ferguson and 4 doctors agreed
