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.

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start feeling better soon.

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.
