I just looked it up on Yahoo. It's actually called Behcet's disease and was first discovered about 200 years ago in Turkey. Nobody really knew about it then of course. The name "Behcet's disease" it actually got (if I can recall it right) 1932, when they found out that some of the main symptoms were mouth and genital ulcers. Very interesting...

Hey, I just found this:

"Behçet's disease was first described in 1937 by Dr. Hulusi Behçet, a dermatologist in Turkey."

So it wasn't 1932, it was 1937...

Here are the symptoms: Most symptoms of the disease are caused by inflammation of the blood vessels. The five most common symptoms of Behçet's disease are mouth sores, genital sores, other skin lesions, inflammation of parts of the eye, and arthritis.

I do know someone with it but I'm not close enough to ask about it. What I have seen of it so far is not very good. I hope your friend doesn't get the more severe symptoms. Another woman I know was tested for it but they ruled it out. She is also a diabetic (type 1) and has a son with Aspergers.

I was diagnosed with Behcet's Disease in 2001. I was also diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2003 and autoimmune hepatitis last November. I have Remicade IV treatments every 6 weeks...it helps with the pain, but my quality of life sure isn't what it used to be. Feel free to email me, if you would like more info.

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Paulyw! So, we need some clarification here because your post is a little confusing. Am I correct in assuming that before you ate the food offered by your client, you were already aware that gluten-containing foods made you ill? And am I correct in assuming that you have never had any formal testing done...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Hi-im new to this forum so thankyou for accepting me. I have had dietary issues for at least 12 years. Last summer i had a terrible episode when a client made me lunch-2 toasties and 2 slices of homemade cake. I am a landscape gardener. I was stupid to drop my guard and eat the food-not wanting to offend the kindness. Within 1 hour i...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.
