A member asked:
Can celiac disease be started by antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, : Celiac disease is not related to antibiotic therapy. Everything is possible, but this association was not reported. There could be other reasons why people who used antibiotics have a higher risk of developing celiac. A recent study has shown, and adds to some theories that composition of gut bacteria can influence whether one will develop celiac or not, therefore, antibiotic may pay a role.
