Could my celiac disease have led me to have NK Cell leukemia?  I saw something like that on the web.

I have not heard of any association of celiac disease with leukemia. 

Can you provide a link to a website? You say you saw something on the web that seems associate the two diseases.

Gary,

After some googling I found some research that might help answer your question(s).

The short answer is yes but I would also have your doctor's check for undiagnosed EBVs infection.

Here is the research . ....it generally happens in older people though. . . or someone with untreated and/or silent celiac disease.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4274481/

Here is a case study in a younger person.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4768892/

And here is the research on EBV and EATL.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8393922

Search for EATL and Celiac disease you will find the research you are looking for.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

Posterboy,

      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:

      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 consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊
