Diabetes And Celiac Connections... Any Info?

Trusted friends...!

I'm posting for a friend who has a child of 6 years recently diagnosed with diabetes type 1. She knows of the link between celiac and diabetes, but I'm finding it hard to find any info online for her... She desperately wants to look at every possibility to keep him healthy, and he has recently displayed some celiac type symptoms. The docs here in uk won't acknowledge the link easily. So am trying to help her. But I have no experience or links to show her. (Am more of an expert in celiac and allergy!!)

Anyone have any useful info or links, would really appreciate it... As always, many thanks

I had breakfast at the G F cafe yesterday near me, and a little girl (age 6) was sitting next to me. Her Dad told me she

was Dxed at 3 with type 1 diabetes (she wears an insulin pump) and now, celiac.

Well, that little angel was enjoying a sugar free cupcake

and when i said " I have celiac too!" , she said "oh boy!. so, you're on my team?"

I was never so honored in my life. I almost cried.

 

I said "yes, babe...and YOU are a celiac warrior princess.... just like me!".

I talked with her Dad some more and realized what a struggle it has been for them, but now, they are ok.

 

Yes,  the Type 1 diabetes and celiac connection is documented in every celiac book and article I have ever read!!!.

 

TYPE in This (below) ....and PUB Med articles galore will pop up

 

Children  celiac  type 1 diabetes. 

 

There is a ton of info on it.

Thanks Irish as always. I'm passing this all on to my friend tomo... It's strange, the longer I go in with this disease the more people I hear of having it... Or at least someone who knows someone who has celiac... I often wonder if they have the stats wrong and it's more than 1in 100!!

Oh no, sorry to here that. I don't know what pre diabetes really means though I'm sure it's as it sounds. Fingers crossed for you... Are you actually celiac or just your mum?

hi

 

from what i gathered pre diabetic means im definately on the way to being diagnosed with diabetes. my mum already has it. 

all my tests have been negative. so no celiac although i know i have a problem with it. my mum on the other hand has all the auto immune diseases associated with celiac and is being sent for a camera down the throat by the doc.shes having problems with her throat and hes checking if the problem is further down to her stomach. shes being very sneaky about it and not telling us much.i think its because ive been mentioning celiac to her and now shes a bit worried.

im feeling a bit mean at the moment because im hoping that they do a proper check on her and take biopsies and find celiac. it would just explain so much within the family. god i feel so bad now for saying that. anyway whatever happens i just hope shes ok :)

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
