Celiac.com 08/10/2022 - Celiac disease is a common inflammatory disease of the small intestine. Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease make up most cases of autoimmune thyroid disease, and are marked by lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid parenchyma. Both Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease are often seen together with celiac disease. 
Meanwhile, patients with monoglandular and polyglandular autoimmunity have a higher rates of celiac disease. Rising rates of celiac disease among autoimmune thyroid disease patients has prompted researchers to investigate the link between the two.  A team of researchers recently set out to review the medical literature to more clearly illuminate the connections between celiac disease and thyroid autoimmunity. 
The team's goa...

Celiac.com 10/31/2022 - An exciting new study shows that CAR T-cell treatment sends lupus into remission, raising hopes it could be used to treat other autoimmune diseases such as celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
In the study, five people suffering from severe lupus became the first patients to receive the new therapy, which uses genetically altered cells to force the illness into remission. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can cause life-threatening damage to the heart, lungs, brain and kidneys. The origins of lupus are poorly understood, but researchers believe it may be triggered by viral infections, certain drugs, and changes in the body during puberty and menopause.
Doctors in Germany treated the four women and one man, ranging from 18 to...

Celiac.com 09/04/2025 - Celiac disease and thyroid disorders may seem like unrelated conditions at first glance, but research over the past few decades has uncovered a significant connection between the two. People diagnosed with celiac disease are more likely to develop autoimmune thyroid conditions, and vice versa. Understanding the reasons behind this link, the symptoms to watch for, and what this means for long-term health is vital for anyone affected by either condition—especially those with gluten sensitivity or autoimmune concerns.
Understanding Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. In people with this condition, consuming gluten causes the immune system to attack the l...

Celiac.com 03/19/2026 - This study explored why two autoimmune diseases that often share genetic risk factors—celiac disease and type one diabetes—do not always develop together. Although both conditions are strongly linked to the same immune-related genes, many people develop only one of them. The researchers set out to understand whether subtle genetic differences inside a well-known immune gene region could help explain this split in disease outcomes
Background: Shared Genetics, Different Outcomes
Celiac disease and type one diabetes are both autoimmune conditions, meaning the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. In celiac disease, the immune system damages the lining of the small intestine when gluten is eaten. In type one diabetes, immune cells destr...
