Celiacs And Diverticulitis

I was just diagnosed with Diverticulitis a few weeks ago and was wondering if gluten could have anything to do with it? I have taken myself off of gluten now for about 5 days and feel good. I am wondering if they could be related.

In my case they were closely related. Shortly before diagnosis I had a colonoscopy. The doctor stated that I had the most extensive diverticuli he had ever seen. Usually it is found in the left descending colon but for me it was throughout my entire large intestine. We thought perhaps it was because I have Ehlers Danlos but when I was rescoped last year, as a routine scope not for any issues, it was a big surprise to us both that almost all of the diverticuli were gone. Only a few little 'bubbles' left.

My father had that. When I found out that my son and I had celiac he got himself tested and had a negative blood test. Then he got diverticulitis and wasn't responding to any of the treatments that his doctor tried. Knowing that celiac is in the family, he decided to try eating gluten free and his symptoms went away. I did a quick google search and everything I could find said that they are not related. I'm just glad that he is feeling better. I hope you do too.

      Nateral remedies

      Im very big on nateral remedies and just read that my go to herb is a no no and was wondering if factual or fiction. I read on Google, I know don't read or take to heart, however it stated that Echinacea isn't good for those with compromise autoimmune because it can cause inflammation. Has anyone else heard of this?Ive been battling sibo so wondering if any...

      Pardon me, I stand corrected. I did find yet another blood test for thyroid function. TSH W/REFLEX TO FT4: 2.91 mIU/L (Range: 0.40 - 4.50) As you can see, I was within the acceptable range when the test was performed.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I am curious: What was your initial level at? How many daily IUs were you taking via supplements and for how long? What did your level drop to? How many daily IUs are you taking now via supplements? Regards, Known1

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @MoniqueCham! Celiac disease damages the villous lining of the small bowel but, as far as I know, doesn't affect the underlying smooth muscle tissue of the bowel.

Gi  dr dropped me but took me back.Im frustrated too but its the autoimmune part .
