This raised a lot of conversation on other boards/groups I visit....how many of you were born in June? I was born in Jan., but quite a few mentioned being born in June....or experiencing problems affiliated with their birth month. I was born in January. My mom, (april) has arthritis; one of the things listed under her month. It's pretty interesting, I guess.

Here's how your birth month can affect your health life

Asian News International

London, July 28

The month in which your are born not only has a bearing on your destiny but also on your health.

According to a report in This is London, a number of new researches have revealed that the month in which you are born has a profound effect on your health in later life.

The scientists have found that in many cases, genetic susceptibility can be 'switched on' by infection at the time of conception or birth and different seasons carry conditions which are more likely to affect a pregnant mother and developing foetus.

Though the scientists are unable to explain all of the findings and some are just theories, here is a listing that can help you to identify how healthy you would be later in life, depending on your month of birth and chalk out a prevention chart for susceptible diseases.

January: January born people have an increased risk of heart diseases and epilepsy. Alzheimer's disease is also found to be common in January borns.

February: People born in this month usually suffer from depression and schizophrenia. Also, there are high chances of obesity. Probability of birth of twins is also high in this month.

March: Autism is a common disease for those born in March. Also narcolepsy, a sleep disorder is most common in the March borns.

April: Multiple Sclerosis, Anorexia and Asthma are some of the diseases that people born in April suffer from. Arthiritis is another common problem.

May: People born in May are more likely to suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Parkinson's disease and dyslexia.

June: Those born in June nurture a risk of Coeliac disease learning difficulties and low weight.

July: July borns are more at risk of suffering from Down's Syndrome and have week bones and teeth. Hodgkin's disease is also common in children born in this month.

August: Crohn's disease, chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract and diabetes common for those born in August.

September: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Rheumatoid Arthritis is common in those born in September. Also the females born in this month have higher rates of conception. Sudden infant death syndrome is highest for those born in September and lowest for April children.

October: Those born in October are more likely to suffer from Eczema and Multiple Sclerosis.

November: People born in November are most likely to be left handed and are also more prone to allergies and hay fever.

December: People born in December have a probability of living longer than average and are usually shorter at the time of birth. Also they are more likely to grow up to be agreeable people. Leukaemia is a common disease for December born people.

I am born in April and sometimes, with all these Celiac symptoms, it feels like I have Multiple Sclerosis....

Also, I thought it was funny when it said February there is a high probability of twins being born - my twins were born in February.....

November here.

There is a studied link between asthma and birth season - thought to be due to how much time is spent indoors/outdoors. (Winter babies have a higher chance of asthma - it's a small difference.)

I have a hard time believing anything that says when you were born effects this that and the other thing. But, that was interesting to look at, and I do not have any of the August problems. In fact, I looked up most of my family members month of birth and I didn't find a single one that fit. We have never been known to be normal though.... :D

Actually, I saw this study published in canadian and american newspapers and can be found on yahoo.ca under birth month, celiac disease. The months for celiac disease predisposition were the summer months; june, july and august. So here goes a new poll!

The Swedish study noted that:

Compared to Swedish children without celiac disease, those diagnosed with celiac disease were 40% more likely to be born during a summer month. But this seasonal variation was only seen among children diagnosed with the disorder before they were 2 years old.

While more girls than boys had the disease, the seasonal risk pattern was more pronounced among boys, the researchers found.

The relative seasonal risk persisted throughout the 10-year study, although the incidence of the disease varied throughout that period.

"This suggests causal environmental exposure(s) with a seasonal pattern," the authors write, noting that the cause could be some type of infection, or perhaps the interaction of an infection with other exposures, although a non-infectious exposure could also be responsible. "Primary prevention might be possible if these causal exposure are identified."

Since it was only a 40% chance, that does leave another 60% who don't fit the pattern... but what I found most interesting was the causal relationship between an environmental or seasonal trigger, like a flu or virus.... children born in the summer months spend their first 9 months during the "flu" season.

Interesting, if anything...

I wasn't born in June, but I was supposed to be! I don't think that counts, though.

My two boys were born in May and July, and their celiac disease showed up before age 2.

I was born June 2nd....due on June 9th. I thought that when I entered the survey, the numbers would come back as a lot of June births. Hmmm....looks like most are not born in June. None of the other months corresponded with any of my childrens birth month. Mine was the only one. Go figure! :D

:P i think often we read these articles and they are interesting, but as usual, they are just someone's opinion and really dont mean much :rolleyes: ---i was born in september and my celiac sister was born in august---now our mom, who has never been tested for celiacs, but should be, was born in june--she has suffered with migrianes all her life, has fibermyalgia and many other problems, my dad was tested for it and it came back negative, but i still think he may be celiac, cant convince him---anyways--i think the june theory has fallen through the cracks--hehe :P deb

Sort of.......but if you compare the percentage of june votes to the percentage of all other votes as divided amongst the eleven other months, there are more June than the average month. This poll probably would have been better if I had made it May/June/July as an option. People aren't born exactly when they're supposed to be and if you're off by one day, you're essentially a June baby.....although June didn't come back with overwhelming numbers, it still won over the other months...

Well I was born in June, but the fact that I was born in the southern hemishpere does that make me more of a December baby in terms of the Northern hemisphere where assumption was made?

Wow, that is really interesting! I'm not born in June, but I was born in November and I'm left-handed and certainly prone to allergies and hay fever. My husband was born in July and has had major problems with his teeth.

I was born on May 26th, which is almost June. I checked all my siblings, parents, children etc., everyone who's birthday I know. And nothing fits anybody for whatever they're supposed to be more prone to during their birth months. Also, I know my mother had celiac disease, as well as the brother who was born on her birthday, March 5th. My sister and the brothers who almost certainly have it, were born in October, May, August, and another October.

So, there goes this 'study'. It will fit obviously some people, as that kind of thing goes.

I actually find it oddly fitting for people that I know.

There is me: born November 9th, I am a lefty with tons of allergies and eczema (october, but close)

There is my husband with his weak teeth enamel.

There is my mom, born in October with a "mystery" disease that totally mimics MS but hasn't ever tested positive for MS.

There is my first husband who was born in December and had a form of leukemia.

      It was tTG IGG that was flagged high. I'm not sure about the other stuff. I'm still eating my normal stuff.

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.

      I am going to France in two weeks and then to Portugal in May   Thanks for your reply

      I made an account just to reply to this topic. My story resembles yours in so many ways that it is truly amazing. I also suddenly became lactose intolerant, went a little under 10 years attributing all my symtoms to different body parts, never thinking it was something systemic until much later. I had the same mental problems - anxiety, depression, fatigue, etc. In fact, the only real difference in our story is that I was never formally diagnosed. When I discovered that my myriad symtoms, that had been continuous and worsening for years, all rapidly subsided upon cessation of consuming gluten, I immediately took it upon myself to cut gluten out of my diet completely. I live in America, and had lost my health insurance within the year prior to my discovery, so I could not get tested, and I will never willingly or knowingly consume gluten again, which I would have to do in order to get tested now that I have insurance again. But that is not the point of this reply. I also had extreme TMJ pain that began within months of getting my wisdom teeth out at - you guessed it - 17 years old. I was in and out of doctors for my various symptoms for about 5 years before I gave up, but during that time I had also kept getting reffered to different kinds of doctors that had their own, different solutions to my TMJ issue, an issue which I only recently discovered was related to my other symptoms. I began with physical therapy, and the physical therapist eventually broke down at me after many months, raising her voice at me and saying that there was nothing she could do for me. After that saga, I saw a plastic surgeon at the request of my GP, who he knew personally. This palstic surgeon began using botox injections to stop my spasming jaw muscles, and he managed to get it covered by my insurace in 2011, which was harder to do back then. This helped the pain tremendously, but did not solve the underlying problem, and I had to get repeat injections every three months. After a couple of years, this began to lose effectiveness, and I needed treatments more often than my insurance would cover. The surgeon did a scan on the joint and saw slight damage to the tissues. He then got approved by insurance to do a small surgery on the massseter (jaw) muscle - making an incision, and then splicing tissue into the muscle to stop the spasming. It worked amazingly, but about three months later it had stopped working. I was on the verge of seeing the top oral surgeon in our city, but instead of operating on me, he referred me to a unique group of dentists who focus on the TMJ and its biomechanical relationship to teeth occlusion (i.e. how the teeth fit together). This is what your dentist did, and what he did to you was boderline if not outright malpractice. There is a dental field that specializes in doing this kind of dental work, and it takes many years of extra schooling (and a lot of money invested into education) to be able to modify teeth occusion in this manner. Just based on the way you describe your dentist doing this, I can tell he was not qualified to do this to you. Dentists who are qualified and engage in this practice take many measurments of your head, mouth, teeth, etc., they take laboratory molds of your teeth, and they then make a complete, life-size model of your skull and teeth to help them guide their work on you. They then have a lab construct, and give you what is called a "bite splint." It looks and feels like a retainer, but its function is entirely different. This is essentially a literal splint for the TMJ that situates on the teeth. The splint is progressively modified once or twice per week, over several months, in order to slowly move the joint to its correct position. The muscles spasm less, stress is taken off the joint, as the joint slowly moves back into its proper position. The pain reduces each month, each week, sometimes even each day you go in for a visit. The joint has to be moved in this manner with the splint BEFORE the modification to the teeth begins. They then add to your tooth structure with small bits of composite, to keep the joint in its proper place after it has been sucessfully repositioned. Subtracting from your teeth, by grinding down bits of your natural tooth structure, is done very conservatively, if they have to do it at all. This process worked for me - after six months, my face, jaw, neck all felt normal, and I had no more pain - a feeling I had not had in a long time. It also made my face look better. I had not realized the true extent that the spasming muscles and the joint derangement had effected the shape of my face. The pain began to return after a few months, but nowhere near where it had been before. This immense reduction in pain lasted for a little over two years. The treatment still ultimately failed, but it is not their fault, and it is still the treatment that has given me the most relief to this day. Later on, I even went about three years with very, very good pain reduction, before the joint severely destabilized again. This field of dentistry is the last line treatment for TMJ issues before oral surgery on the TMJ. There aren't as many denists around who practice this anymore, and the practice is currently shrinking due to dentists opting for less espensive, additional educations in things like professional whitening, which have a broader marketability. Getting this treatment is also very expensive if not covered by insurance (in America at least). My first time was covered by insurance, second time was not, though the dentist took pity on me due to the nature of my case and charged like a quarter of usual pricing. Most cases seen by these dentists are complete successes, and the patient never has to come back again. But occasionally they get a case that is not a success, and I was one of those cases. A little over a year ago, I began seeing the second dentist who keeps my TMJ stable in this manner. The first dentist retired, and then died sadly. A shame too, because he was a truly amazing, knowledgable guy who really wanted to help people. The new dentist began to get suspicious when my joint failed to stay stable after I was finished with the bite splint and his modifications, so he did another scan on me. This is ten years after the first scan (remember, I said the surgeon saw "slight" damage to the tissue on the first scan). This new scan revealed that I now no longer have cartilage in the joint, on both sides - complete degeneration of the soft tissues and some damage to the bone. The dentist sat me down and had a talk with me after these results came in, and said that when he sees damage like this in cases like mine, that the damage to the joint is most likely autoimmune, and that, in his experinece, it is usually autoimmune. He has sent patients with cases like mine to Mayo Clinic. He said he will continue to see me as long as the treatment continues to offer me relief, but also said that I will probably have to see a dentist for this type of treatment for the rest of my life. He is not currently recommending surgery due to my young age and the fact that the treatment he provides manages my symptoms pretty well. I still see this dentist today, and probably will see this kind of dental specialist for the rest of my life, since they have helped with this issue the most. I did not inform him that I am 100% sure that I have celiac disease (due to my complete symptom remission upon gluten cessation). I didn't inform him because I thought it would be inappropriate due to not having a formal diagnosis. I was disappointed, because I had believed I had caught it BEFORE it had done permanent damage to my body. I had never suspected that my TMJ issues may be related to my other symptoms, and that the damage would end up complete and permanent. Luckily, I caught it about 6 months after my other joints started hurting, and they stopped hurting right after I went gluten free, and haven't hurt since. I of course did the necessary research after the results of the second scan, and found out that the TMJ is the most commonly involved joint in autoimmune disease of the intestines, and if mutliple joints are effected, it is usually the first one effected. This makes complete sense, since the TMJ is the most closely related joint to the intestines, and literally controls the opening that allows food passage into your intestines. I am here to tell you, that if anyone says there is no potential relationship between TMJ issues and celiac disease, they are absolutely wrong. Just google TMJ and Celiac disease, and read the scientific articles you find. Research on issues regarding the TMJ is relatively sparse, but you will find the association you're looking for validated.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.
