A member asked:
My son has type 1 diabetes and recently went on a gluten-free diet and says he feels amazing. now he is thinking he has celiac disease. is this likely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It happens: Type 1DM begins as an auto-immune disease and other afflictions like celiac disease, auto-immune thyroid disease are seen in higher frequency in these patients. He should have blood tests for the celiac antibodies, which are only valid if he has consumed gluten for 3 wks prior. If positive a confirmatory test can confirm or exclude the issue. Some people feel better gluten free just because.
