    Are Celiac Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Related?

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 03/24/2010 - Celiac disease is a permanent intolerance to gluten ingestion, which is predisposed in individuals with human leukocyte antigen  (HLA ) and DQ2 or DQ8 haplotype. Celiac is an autoimmune disease and  there has been mounting evidence indicating a substantial connection between celiac and other autoimmune disorders such as, autoimmune thyroiditis and diabetes mellitus type 1.  Additionally, recent evidence has surfaced correlating a relationship between celiac and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

    An Italian study was designed to research  a gene commonly associated with celiac disease known as MYO IXB, which was recently found to be mutated in IBD patients as well. Additionally, the chromosome 4q27 region is also associated with celiac disease and other autoimmune diseases, and predisposes patients to ulcerative colitis, indicating a common genetic code for these diseases. Although, other IBD risk factors were not found to be candidate genes for celiac disease.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Italian patients with IBD were tested for celiac disease and their results were lower than expected, and  lower than compared with the general population. celiac disease was found to be more prevalent in patients with ulcerative colitis than in those with Crohn's disease. Ulcerative colitis is typically isolated to the colon and is not present in the small intestine. However, there have been reports of diffuse duodenitis in ulcerative colitis patients which is sometimes mistaken for celiac disease.  The gastroduodenal association with Crohn's disease varies from 30% to 80% of patients.

    Celiac disease and inflammatory bowel are not related, they are merely two diseases that sometimes cross the same path. While the prevalence of celiac disease in Italian IBD patients was typically low indicating no close relationship between celiac disease and inflammatory bowl disease, the mutual relationship of these diseases lies in the fact that patients with both conditions frequently share a history of iron-deficient anemia.  It is thus important for patients that are unresponsive to treatments for IBD and are prone to incessant anemia, to also test for celiac disease.

    "Permanent intolerance"?

    Sounds incredibly understated to those of us who suffered the more insidious aspects of this autoimmune disorder.

    The reason both types have anemia is because the parietal cells in the stomach have been destroyed from autoimmune attack, leading to lack of Instrinsic Factor creating an inability to absorb B12 from food, creating pernicious anemia. The question is, does gluten trigger IBD, Crohn's? Gluten triggers allopecia, Hashimoto's, and celiac disease.

  • About Me

    Destiny Stone

    I diagnosed myself for gluten intolerance after a lifetime of bizarre, seemingly unrelated afflictions. If my doctors had their way, I would have already undergone neck surgery, still be on 3 different inhalers for asthma, be vomiting daily and having chronic panic attacks. However, since eliminating gluten from my diet in May 2009, I no longer suffer from any of those things. Even with the proof in the pudding (or gluten) my doctors now want me to ingest gluten to test for celiac-no can do.

    Am J Gastroenterol 2000;95:2154-2156,2285-2295.
    Celiac.com 10/14/2000 - According to new research done by Dr. Andrew J. Wakefield, of the Royal Free and University College Medical School, in London (published in the September issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology) children with developmental disorders seem to be at risk of developing a unique type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This newly discovered type lacks the typical features seen in Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis.
    The researchers studied 60 children with developmental disorders (50 had autism, five had Aspergers syndrome, two had disintegrative disorder, one had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, one had schizophrenia and one had dyslexia.) whose ages ranged from 3 to 16 years old...

    Celiac.com 02/27/2012 - The relationship between celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease has not been well documented. One study that hasn't gotten too much attention was published in 2008. To get a better idea regarding any connection, a team of researchers studied rates of celiac disease in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, along with the rates of inflammatory bowel disease in patients with celiac disease.
    The research team included J.S. Leeds, B.S. Höroldt, R. Sidhu, A.D. Hopper, K. Robinson, B. Toulson, L. Dixon, A.J. Lobo, M.E. McAlindon, D.P. Hurlstone, and D.S. Sanders. They are affiliated with the Gastroenterology and Liver Unit of Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield, UK.

    Antibiotics Put Children at Risk for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
    Celiac.com 11/28/2012 - A team of researchers recently set out to determine whether childhood antianaerobic antibiotic exposure is associated with the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Their findings show that children who are treated with antianaerobic antibiotics face a significantly higher risk of developing IBD.
    The team included Matthew P. Kronman, MD, MSCE, Theoklis E. Zaoutis, MD, MSCE, Kevin Haynes, PharmD, MSCE, Rui Feng, PhD, and Susan E. Coffin, MD, MPH.They are affiliated variously with the Division of Infectious Diseases, Seattle Children’s Hospital at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, the Division of Infectious Diseases at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, the Center for Cli...

      Confused with test results

      Hello @Dhruv, My 16 year old nephew was diagnosed two years. That's not an easy age. This year the whole family has been diagnosed. You might consider getting yourself tested. When my son was diagnosed his doctor suggested my wife and I should also get tested. We declined and not eating gluten free is probably the biggest mistake of our lives. Keep...

      Severe joint swelling from Celiac

      I also did not have the so-called typical Celiac symptoms, my main complaint was always getting sick, asthma, loss of sense of smell, and kidneys were failing. My GFR was in 40's - 50's and docs saying "Kidneys don't get better, we can only slow the decline" also "We don't do anything for kidneys until you are ready for dialysis." I was blown away, so decided...

      What do my test results mean?

      There's different reasons why one may be seronegative. Some Seronegative Celiacs may be genetically encoded to be IgA deficient. But, they may still make IgG antibodies, hence both IgA and IgG antibodies are tested for in the full Celiac Panel of blood tests. Instead of IgA and IgG antibodies, some Seronegative Celiacs may make other types of antibodies...
