Link To Diabetes?

This is a spinoff from another post... I just saw someone posting that it is suspected that their child got diabetes because of undiagnosed celiac... does anyone know how this happens? Is it from the lack of nutrient absorption? I hadn't heard this before and an curious what the link is.

Thanks.

As a side note - DS's blood test results were in yesterday according to the nurse, but they couldn't give them to me as they hadn't been reviewed by a Dr. yet. She said I should get them today.

I don't know the science behind it, but I think this is simply because undiagnosed celiac disease makes people more susceptible to other autoimmune disorders - Type 1 diabetes is also an autoimmune disease. Between 3-8% of children with Type 1 diabetes also have celiac disease.

try 15-25% of kids with Type 1 diabets have celiac. My son being one of them. My sons Endocronologist thinks its probably even higher than that, but most kids are not tested for celiac.

Once you have one auto immune disease, your body becomes more suseptible to another. I was probably the one you saw the post from

Celiac runs in our family. Diabetes DOES NOT. NO ONE has type one diabetes in either side. My son has both. His Dr. is fairly certain that celiac weakened his body, so he developed Diabetes. There is more technical terminology, but a child who develops Type 1 diabetes is pre disposed, and something "triggers" it. A sickness or malnourishment of some kind. I am not a pro at explaining it yet. Hope this helps.

Do you have a reference for those numbers? I don't doubt, it's true, but I try keep up with current research so I can share it with docs I work with. I'm always advocating to get type 1 diabetics tested for celiac disease, so if I have a reference to current research that indicates the numbers are this high, it would really help. THanks!

I don't remember who told me, if it was the diabetes nurse educator or his endocronologist? I will try to find out. I'm pretty sure it was his endocronologist. He is from India, and tested him within a month of his diagnosis of diabetes, for celiac. He seems to think it is extremely common. We don't have another appointment for 2.5 months, but occasionally talk to him on the phone. He is extremely nice, but busy, so I'll ask next time we talk.

Thanks, Lucy; I'll appreciate any information you can get. In the meantime, I'll try doing a literature search and see what I come up with. If I find anything interesting, I'll let you know.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification. In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation...

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation process, after the distillation process, the vinegar is still cross contaminated. Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.
