    What's the Role of Gluten in Celiac Disease and Type 1 Diabetes?

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 04/18/2016 - Some studies have shown dietary gluten has been proven to play a role in both celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D), and others have suggested as much, but stopped short of actual proof.

The research team included G Serena, S Camhi, C Sturgeon, S Yan S, and A Fasano. They are variously affiliated with the Graduate Program in Life Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland and with the Center for Celiac Research, Mucosal Immunology and Biology Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital and Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Massachusetts General Hospital for Children in Boston.

    Some studies have shown dietary gluten has been proven to play a role in both celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D), and others have suggested a the same.

    In celiac disease, gluten is the know autoimmune trigger. When the trigger is removed by the patient following a gluten-free diet, that autoimmune process stops, the gut heals, and the patient's serological markers for celiac disease usually return to normal.

    However, for T1D, researchers have not been able to find a causative agent, something like gluten in celiac disease. Nevertheless, researchers continue to debate the role of dietary gluten in development of T1D, and the potentially beneficial effect of removing gluten from the diet of patients with T1D.

    In a recent review, their team discusses the comorbid occurrence of celiac disease and T1D and explore current evidences for the specific role of gluten in both conditions, specifically focusing on current evidence on the effect of gluten on the immune system and the gut microbiota.

    Celiac.com 06/26/2013 - Do people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease die younger than people with T1D who do not have celiac disease? Do celiac patients without T1D live longer than those with T1D? Currently, not much is known about how celiac disease might influence mortality rates in people with T1D.
    A team of researchers recently set out to examine rates of death in patients with both T1D and celiac disease. The researchers include K. Mollazadegan, D.S. Sanders, J. Ludvigsson, and J.F. Ludvigsson. The are variously affiliated with the Clinical Epidemiology Unit of the Department of Medicine, Solna, Karolinska Institutet, and with St. Erik Eye Hospital, Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden.

    Screening and Diagnosing Celiac Disease in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes
    Celiac.com 07/11/2013 - A team of researchers wanted to better understand screening practices for celiac disease in patients with type 1 diabetes across North America. One question they sought to answer was whether diabetes centers screen for celiac disease in type 1 diabetes more frequently than other facilities.
    The research team included S.M. Simpson, E.J. Ciaccio, S. Case, N. Jaffe, S. Mahadov, B. Lebwohl, P.H. Green. All except Case are affiliated with the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University, New York, USA. Shelley Case runs her own nutrition consulting business in Regina, Saskatchewan.
    For their study, the team conducted a survey with 27 questions on screening practices for celiac disease in patients with type 1 diabetes. The questions were compiled by experts in celiac...

    Can a Gluten-free Diet Lower the Risk of Diabetes?
    Celiac.com 07/14/2014 - Early life intestinal problems have previously been shown to influence diabetes rates. There is also some evidence that a gluten-free diet can lower rates of diabetes, but just how strong is the influence of gluten-free diet on the development of diabetes?
    A recent study by a group of researchers in Denmark suggests that maternal gluten-free diet greatly reduces inflammation and rates of diabetes in the offspring of certain mice. This study led the team to hypothesize that a gluten-free diet, which is known to decrease type 1 diabetes incidence, may also offer protection against diabetes when followed during the pregnancy and lactation period.
    The research team included Camilla H.F. Hansen, Åukasz Krych, Karsten Buschard, Stine B. Metzdorff, Christine Nellemann,...

    Celiac.com 02/10/2015 - A number of studies have shown a connection between celiac autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Doctors recommend celiac screening for T1DM patients, but screening is not always conducted.
    Meanwhile, reports about the impact of celiac autoimmunity in T1DM have been varied. A team of researchers recently set out to determine rates of celiac autoimmunity in patients with T1DM, and to study the impact of celiac autoimmunity on nutritional parameters, glycaemic control, endocrine axes and bone health.
    The research team included A.S. Joshi, P.K. Varthakavi, N.M. Bhagwat, M.D. Chadha, AND S.S. Mittal. They are variously associated with the Department of Endocrinology of Topiwala National Medical College and BYL Nair Charitable Hospital, Mumbai Central...
