    Celiac.com 07/11/2013 - A team of researchers wanted to better understand screening practices for celiac disease in patients with type 1 diabetes across North America. One question they sought to answer was whether diabetes centers screen for celiac disease in type 1 diabetes more frequently than other facilities.

    Photo: CC--MelissaThe research team included S.M. Simpson, E.J. Ciaccio, S. Case, N. Jaffe, S. Mahadov, B. Lebwohl, P.H. Green. All except Case are affiliated with the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University, New York, USA. Shelley Case runs her own nutrition consulting business in Regina, Saskatchewan.

    For their study, the team conducted a survey with 27 questions on screening practices for celiac disease in patients with type 1 diabetes. The questions were compiled by experts in celiac disease and diabetes.

    The team sent surveys by email to diabetes educators and dietitians throughout the United States and Canada between December 2010 and May 2011.

    They received 514 responses from 484 endocrine clinics, diabetes clinics, private practices, community nutrition centers, and inpatient centers.

    Thirty-five percent of these locations screened for celiac disease, with endocrine clinics reporting screening at the highest rate of eighty percent.

    Not surprisingly, the most common test celiac disease test was tissue transglutaminase, while the most frequently recommended treatment of confirmed celiac disease was a gluten-free diet. However, only 365 respondents (71%) recommended biopsy in patients with positive blood results.

    More than half of those responding (55.3%) reported that patient symptoms improved once they adopted a gluten-free diet.

    Staff at endocrine clinics were most likely to suggest celiac disease testing for patients with type 1 diabetes.

    Due to low screening frequency as well as inconsistency in management of positive celiac disease blood tests, the research team is calling for increased education regarding celiac disease in patients with type 1 diabetes, along with the adoption of uniform protocols.

    I too have both Type 1 and celiac disease.

    Are you a long-term Type 1 Diabetic? When did you start noticing the symptoms? Did you eventually start having severe weight loss and other auto immune disorders? I have ALWAYS had a BRILLIANT A1C score, 5.7 at the max. So it wasn't because of poor control. I have been a Type 1 diabetic for 45 years.

    Celiac.com 06/08/2007 - This study shows that celiac disease is as common among British Columbians with Type 1 diabetes as it is in Europeans with Type 1 Diabetes.
    The research team was made up of doctors P.M. Gillett, H.R. Gillett, D.M. Israel, D.L. Metzger, L. Stewart, J-P. Chanoine, H.J. Freeman.
    The team looked at 233 children with Type1 diabetes. In a blind study, the children were screened for celiac disease using immunoglublin A endomysium antibody (EmA), and the Immunoglublin A tissue transglutaminase. Children with positive results were offered small bowel biopsies. For those confirmed with celiac disease, doctors recommended a gluten-free diet.

    Celiac.com 09/24/2009 - Could a reduced level of antibodies against infectious agents indicate a protective role for such infections in T1DM development in susceptible individuals? Recent research points in that direction. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease with intricate and poorly understood associations between genetic and environmental factors.
    A joint Israeli-Colombian research team recently set out to examine the connections between anti-infectious antibodies and autoimmune-associated autoantibodies in patients with Type I diabetes mellitus and their close family members. Among other things, their findings confirmed a strong association between celiac disease and Type 1 diabetes mellitus.

    Routine Celiac Disease Screening for Everyone with Type 1 Diabetes
    Celiac.com 07/07/2010 - There is mounting evidence that people with Type 1 diabetes are at high risk for celiac disease. Even with that knowledge, it is estimated that 97% of people with celiac disease go undiagnosed, which begs the question,  "should there be routine screening for celiac disease in those with type 1 diabetes?" Dr. Speiser and Dr. Rosenzweig explore the question  the further.
    Doctor Phyllis Speiser, Chief of the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology at North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System in New Hyde Park, New York explains her stance in an interview with Medscape Diabetes and Endocrinology. Doctor Speiser notes that even at her institution there is a vast spectrum of varying opinions among pediatric endocrinologists regarding when and how to screen for celiac. ...

    What is the Effect of Celiac Disease on Growth and Glycemic Control in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes?
    Celiac.com 09/19/2012 - Researchers have documented rising rates of celiac disease in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). A research team recently tried to assess the effect of celiac disease on growth and glycemic control in patients with T1D, and to determine the effects of a gluten-free diet on these parameters.
    The research team included I. Taler, M. Phillip, Y. Lebenthal, L. de Vries, R. Shamir, and S. Shalitin. They are affiliated with the Department of Pediatrics B, Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel in Petach Tikva, Israel.
    To do so, they conducted a longitudinal retrospective case-control study, in which they reviewed the medical data on 68 patients with T1D and duodenal-biopsy-confirmed celiac disease. They looked at weight, height, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), frequency...

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior". Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still co...
