why are there so many other risk factors for people with celiac?  i see higher risks for other autoimmune diseases and issues with liver pancreas gallbladder etc... if we are treating this disease and staying gluten free why would we be at higher risks for these other bad things to happen?  isn’t that the same for any normal person?

A lot of it has to do with genetics, as most people with autoimmune disorders carry certain genetic traits that make us more susceptible to them. Some of these genetic markers are shared with more than one disease, and are located in the same area of a gene.

As with many autoimmune diseases just having the genetic markers for it isn't enough, because not everyone with the same genetic markers will get the disease, but they will have a higher likelihood than those without (who might have zero risk), but it seems that some environmental trigger is still required to set off a particular disease.

Once you have one autoimmune disease the likelihood of getting a second increases. In celiac disease the risk of getting other disorders increases greatly if you are untreated, and not on a gluten-free diet. The risk decreases for many diseases once you go gluten-free. Here are articles on CD and other disorders:

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Yep,yep,yep, called it from experience. I've lived through SIBO and Candida myself. I get a different sorts of reactions to dairy, high sugar consumption, and gluten. I react to Casein, the protein in dairy. Try the AIP diet. Dr. Sarah Ballantyne designed it and is a Celiac herself. Her book, the Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.

      Gluten Allergy

      Yes, I know. Without sufficient Folate, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine, the body can't get rid of high homocysteine levels. High homocysteine levels make one restless, interferes with sleep and resembles ADHD symptoms. High homocysteine levels occur in Celiac Disease. Chronic high histamine levels lead to high homocysteine levels. Impact of supplementation...

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      You called it @knitty kitty. I went to another health care provider for another opinion, and based on some tests they did, they suggested I might also be dealing with a fungal issue (candida and/or mold). I saw that you mentioned before in this chain that some people on this forum also get Candida infections. So it seems that I am possibly dealing that...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I'm concerned about calcium. I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free. However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs. I'd like find a decent supplement for that. Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements...

      bread

      Wanted to tell someone, I finally made an edible gluten free bread. It took me several hours to make and it didn't taste like what I was trying to make, but it did taste like a bread. Was looking all over for bread machine recipes and I ran across this one on the Internet: https://www.snapcalorie.com/recipes/gluten_free_oat_challah_bread_machine.html ...

I think some of the symptoms that I've been not able to understand now make a lot of sense within this context (such as why eating dairy and sugar sometimes causes me to get headaches, joint pain, chills, feel like I have the flu... if these things are making the candida infection worse by feeding the candida, and then my body responds by trying to fight it off, then I basically am fighting off an infection, which is exactly what it feels like).  The flu-like reaction that I get when I eat dairy is a distinct reaction than the one I get from getting glutened (which is also bad, but different: headache, sharp abdominal pains, gas, diarrhea). That's what made me think there was something else at play.
