A member asked:
Is it possible for one person to have both celiac disease and ulcerative colitis?

Yes: It is certainly possible to have both. Improbable, but possible.

Yes: Yes, absolutely. There are some patients given initial diagnosis of either ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease that later turn out to have celiac disease and the former goes into remission with a gluten-free diet. If you are uncertain of risk, there are genetic tests (dq2/dq8) to determine if you have a high probability of reacting to gluten.
