- chrish42 commented on Scott Adams's article in Spring 2025 Issue1Global Prevalence and Symptoms of Celiac Disease in First-Degree Relatives: Key Findings from a Meta-Analysis (+Video)
Excellent article and study. In the 50s my mother had issues and when I think back she may well have had Celiac but testing at that time was probably non existent. Doctors hopefully will take note and inform Celiacs about the relative relationship.- celiac disease

Testing for celiac
I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out). I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately. What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea? I...

Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea. Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken, however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases. You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now. After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved. You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have. Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues. Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health. Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check. Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress!

I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free? Thank you, Barb

Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding ideas please? -
Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
