My son would be diagnosed with strep throat every time he'd get sick. Now he has Celiac disease. Is there a correlation?

Maybe.  Is he immunoglobulin A or G deficient?  Many celiacs are deficient in IgA or IgG making them more susceptible to infections.  An IgA deficiency is often caught during celiac disease blood testing.

Infections and other bodily stress events have long been thought to trigger the onset of Celiac disease. So have frequent administrations of antibiotics because, or so it is presumed, they change the micro organic environment of the gut.

Ray Ray,

There might be ......but it would be hard to prove....

If it was Epstein Barr Virus being misdiagnosed as Strep.....EBV has be been associated with Celiac disease.

Here is a couple of links about it....

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2018-04-epstein-barr-virus-linked-diseases.html

If  he has a lot of fatigue with his Strep Throat (then or since) it might really be the Epstein Barr Virus being misdiagnosed as Strep Throat..

Here is an article about it....

https://www.medicinenet.com/sore_throat_is_it_mono/views.htm

Also the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) has been shown to lead to chronic fatigue because it interferes with Magnesium in the body....

Here is an article about it....

http://simmaronresearch.com/2015/08/epstein-barr-virus-the-magnesium-connection/

Taking some Magnesium Glycinate (non flushing form of Magnesium) it will/can help with your sons Fatigue issues if it is EBV being misdiagnosed as Strep Instead....

See this Hormone's Matter article where someone else had similar problems with Strep and it turned out to be a Thiamine problem ultimately....

quoting from the article...."

At age 13, I began having frequent bouts of tonsillitis and with each episode, I was given a course of antibiotics. Eventually, I was taking antibiotics every three months along with ibuprofen continuously."

https://www.hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-gardasil-fluoroquinolones/

a couple different types of antibiotics can make us low in Thiamine so.....repeated rounds can really mess with our system.....and it CAN be a long way back....if doctor's are not aware of these connections....

But the Floroquinolones class of antibiotics is especially notorious for it..

Here is an article about it....

https://www.hormonesmatter.com/fluoroquinolone-antibiotic-dangers/

I think the Hormones Matter article will explain itself.....

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

Posterboy,

I can attest Floroquinolone are awful. I was prescribed Cipro in the early 1990s when info like what you have offered here was not available. I only took it that one time. I told Dr's after that I reacted to it. 

Who knows how much of my ANS/CNS is related to Cipro not celiac.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      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.
