Hello,

Has anyone that has Celiac also been diagnosed and/or explored Behcet's Disease relationships?

A couple of years ago we did an article summarizing a study on this which found no connection:

Hello,

Thank you for the quick response. It is curious and thank you for the article.  We live in a very rural area, the San Luis Valley in CO,

that did not readily know about Celiac, much less Behcets. We are researching as best we can on our side for an appropriate diagnosis so we can treat my Celiac teen who has all the Behcets symptoms and more. Appreciate the insight.

From your post it looks like he has celiac disease, and I assume that he's been on a gluten-free diet. It might make sense to re-check his diet to make sure he's staying gluten-free and not getting any cross contamination, for example if you eat outside your home. Teenagers are also known to be more likely to cheat on their diets due to peer pressure issues.

Ayesha,

It is more likely you would be diagnosed with LUPUS which has been known to show up in Celiac's...

I might try to write a longer  explanation later....

But this to just to get your started in the right direction...

Amino Acids IV has been shown to treat Behcet's disease.

See this research entitled "Behçet's disease (syndrome) with myalgia and its response to intravenous amino acids: a case series

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21812911/

Here is research on the connection to Lupus and Celiac disease

Entitled "Adult celiac disease followed by onset of systemic lupus erythematosus"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18223501/

I wrote a Posterboy blog post explaining why LUPUS happens in Celiac disease maybe it  will help you to read it...

This rather lengthy but good article shows how slow enzyme activity (IE Genetic defects) control and trigger Genetic diseases....

Entitled "High-dose vitamin therapy stimulates variant enzymes with decreased coenzyme binding affinity (increased Km): relevance to genetic disease and polymorphisms"

It is notable that approx. 50 genetic diseases can be treated with high dose Vitamins....

If the research on Behcets disease and Amino Acid IV is correct the above article explains why this is so!

Your Co-Factor system has locked up available enzymes.....leading to sores and ulcers.

I had angular cheiltisis (Leaky Lips) once.....and for years I struggled to find the cause trigger...

And it turns out I was low  in Riboflavin AKA Vitamin B2 all that time....the condition is AKA Pellagra Sine Pellagra...

Skin lesions like those experienced in Behcet's is a "tale tale" sign of Pellagra Sine Pellagra" but all the doctors could tell me to do....was stop licking my lips so much!

I wrote about my experience so others' could be helped too!

Search for the Posterboy and read some of my blog post's and I think you will find at least one helpful, Lord willing.

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

2 Timothy 2: 7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
