Denisesb

Recommended Posts

I have been diagnosed with preclinical lupus recently, this includes diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, nausea, headaches, rashes on my face and buttocks.

 Lymphocytic colitis c diff now they are testing for celiac disease. Is it possible to have both?

Hi Deniseb,

Yes, it is possible to have both conditions.  Some of the forum members have 2, 3  or more AI conditions.  Or it could be you have just celiac disease and it is causing all your symptoms.

Please don't stop eating gluten yet though.  All the tests for celiac disease require us to be on a gluten diet before hand or they won't be accurate.  Usually they do blood antibodies testing first and then schedule an endoscopy for later.  It's best to get the full celiac disease antibodies panel and not just the screening test.

If you have one autoimmune disease it increases your odds of getting another one so many Celiacs end up with another autoimmune disease at some point. 

The most common ones Celiacs get are:
Autoimmune Hepatitis

Diabetes, Type 1

Autoimmune thyroid diseases

 Rheumatoid arthritis

Sjogren’s syndrome

Lupus

About 15-20% of Celiacs have another autoimmune disease.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
