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,

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
