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.

      No, there's no need to keep checking blood antibody levels.  The tests are meant to be used as diagnostic tools.  It can take several years for antibodies to completely disappear, if ever.   Do get checked for anemia and thyroid problems if you fail to bounce back.   I understand what it's like not to have family support.  You've got a large tribe here that believe.   Take care of yourself.  Sending hugs!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Do get checked for all kinds anemia, iron deficiency anemia, B12 deficiency anemia, pernicious anemia, B6 deficiency anemia.  Anemia is very common in Hashimoto's!   Anemia, Diabetes and thiamine deficiency are known causes of seronegative Celiac Disease.   You only need one gene for Celiac.  Welcome to the tribe! Keep us posted on your progress.

      Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome may be related to Thiamine Vitamin B1  deficiency.     Hyperemesis is a symptom of thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously depending on how much thiamine is absorbed from the diet.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine results in an eighty percent increase in brain function and decrease of symptoms.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates can result in thiamine deficiency.   Many children on the Autism spectrum benefit from supplementing Thiamine.  See the research done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs' at the website hormonesmatter.com, or published on NIH pubmed.

      Some Celiacs react to the dairy protein Casein the same as they would to gluten. This could explain your ongoing inflammation.   Allergies can raise your histamine levels as can processed gluten free products.  To clear histamine, certain vitamins can help, B12, Pyridoxine B6, Vitamin C, and Thiamine B1.   Optimal Vitamin D levels are between 80 and 100.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.   Seems like addressing nutritional deficiencies would be beneficial to you.  Blood tests aren't accurate measurements of the stores of vitamins inside cells in the tissues and organs where they are utilized.  Blood levels of vitamins can reflect what you've eaten in the past day or two.   Processed gluten free foods do not have vitamins added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  Vitamins are chemical compounds our bodies cannot make, so we have to get them from what we eat.  The gluten free diet can be short in some vitamins and minerals, so supplementing can be beneficial, especially since you're still having inflammation.
