Hello,

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

Part of a 3 generation diagnosis of Celiac.

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.

      Thanks for the update, Ben. If you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the results of the blood testing - and this would be the normal protocol - you will still need to continue the gluten challenge until that is done.

      Update on how things went. To meet my daily quantity of gluten I had a measured amount of gluten flour with my breakfast and 2 slices of bread later in the day. I still had discomfort but it wasn't debilitating. My blood tests results came back this week and they were positive so I've been referred to a specialist.

      Hello, Ive been to the dermatologist ( two different ones) and now made appointment, soonest is NOVEMBER. Ive been dealing  with skin issues for a while and its getting  worse because nothing has worked.I feel the bumps, gently squeeze and a itty bitty hard thing is coming out.I took a picture and did close up and in the MANY pictures ive taken this past few days, there's a " string" type thing at the end. I FEEL IT COMING OUT.... At first few pic it looks like hair, its not.Its  part of what ever is in my skin...I did call my Dr yesterday and will be seeing him this Monday. What test should I request to see what the hell is causing my skin to have?I don't know what to call it.I do sleep with my indoor cats.I also have an inheritance cat two years ago who took to sleeping with me as well.I also was on topiramate but had to stop because of speech issues, memory and it can affect those with  kidney stones. I did suffer kidney stones in past.So i had to completely stop.Since freaking out of what i KNOW what I saw, i took matters in my own hands and decided to eat several whole cloves a day.Since doing so, though im not to eat garlic.My skin is actually clearing up sloooooooooowly.but then again I just started 4 days ago and already notice a difference. My husband thinks im seeing things.I know what I see and feel. what test is there to ask doctor about what is in my skin? Husband thinks im seeing things, because of the meningioma and stopping meds.i know what i saw.

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.
    • Name
      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.
