Can't find a date on this but from what I have read in other places as well there is a growing consensus that there is a connection between celiac disease and depression. There is a lot of info about this out there so I would suggest researching your question. https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/related-conditions/depression/

The connection may be two-fold. First, there is the issue with malabsorption of vitamins and minerals typically found in people with celiac disease that often leads to neurological problems. Second, there is the psych/social impact related to loss of freedom in eating out or eating in the homes of other people. Celiac Disease can be isolating.

      Found this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ Shows an association between rosacea and celiac disease as well as other autoimmune disorders.

      Yes the journey here has been a long one. Is there any reason to continue to check blood antibody levels in the future? mine had not gotten to negative or zero yet . Thanks for all the great information! I will check out these supplements and hopefully start feeling better !!

      Welcome to the forum, @Nita hearn! It's interesting that you should ask this question. I just has an appointment with my dermatologist last week because I have developed a red rash on my cheeks and red bumps/pimples in the bridge of my nose. My wife was concerned that I might have developed rosacea, which she developed years ago. She's not a celiac but I am and I was diagnosed with celiac disease over 20 years ago. This rash is a very recent development, however. The dermatologist was not yet ready to call it rosacea but he did prescribe a antibiotic cream for me (Metronidazole) and an over the counter medicated gel called Aquaphor.  I'm sure you've heard of dermatitis herpetiformis, the classic rash that some celiacs get. But what I have doesn't look like that and there is not itching or discomfort. Dermatitis herpetiformis comes with an intense itch and it has pustules in the center of the bumps. So, I am wondering if I have developed rosacea but not sure at this point. And so far, the two meds prescribed haven't helped but I've only been using them a few days.
