Yep, I have hashimotos disease. I was diagnosed with it in 2000. Probably had celiac then and just didn't know it.

I also have been diagnosed with sjpogrens...however vie never had a symptom. I'm hoping going gluten free stopped it I it's track.

I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis too...probably caused by my gluten sensitivity

RA and Sjogrens. Gluten and soy free has almost eliminated the Sjogrens.

Hi! I know this question was posted several months ago, but I'm new here & just saw it.

I also have another autoimmune disease - one I didn't see listed among the other replies. I have Guillian-Barre. That's a terribly painfull & crippling autoimmune disease. I was in a wheelchair for several years because of that. After my celiac diagnosis & my new gluten free lifestyle, my GB has gotten much better. I'm even walking again!

Additionally, my "mystery anemia" has healed, & I haven't had a blood transfusion in nearly a year.

My biggest problem now is accidental gluten ingestion.

Although I read all ingredient labels, (as we all know) gluten hides under many false names.

Other times, I was accidentally "glutenised" by cross-contamination. Hence, I only eat food from my own kitchen now. Restaraunts are horrible cross-contaminators, as are the kitchens of friends & relatives - even when they try to be careful, & think they've decontaminated surfaces, they really don't know how to do that correctly.

Hi. I have Hashimoto's and Raynaud's syndrome.

I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis too. Had it for years - never need thyroid replacement though until I hit my thirties. Even to this day, I take a moderate dose. Always had constipation issues as a child and teenager - but I do not think when I was that young that people even attributed it to anything but not eating enough ruffage or vegetables.

Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogren's Syndrome, high Lupus indicators, Reynaud's in addition to Celiac. All the other have responded positively to strict gluten free.
