Multiple autoimmune diseases, including celiac, Hashimoto's, psoriasis, autoimmune hepatitis, RA, SLE. Also have fibromyalgia.
Tested Fall 2008: bloodwork, biopsy negative; HLA DQ8. Doctor believes results negative due to prednisone and Imuran taken for autoimmune hepatitis.
Dx with celiac disease because of dietary response, genetics, and family history of celiac disease.
Dx with Lyme Disease Jan 2010; Lyme likely triggered some of the AI diseases.
Gluten free since 25 Nov 2008

Thanks for posting this, nasalady.
Interesting quote -
"For the first time, researchers found an increased risk of autism spectrum disorders in children whose mothers have celiac disease, a digestive condition in which people cannot tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. Autism spectrum disorders include a range of neurological problems affecting communication and socializing."
Here is the pubmed abstract for those interested:
