Prevalence of LADA in Celiac Disease

Hey Folks,

Does anyone know if there is any prevalence or a likelihood of developing LADA when you have Celiac Disease? I know having one autoimmune condition raises the risk of developing another. Just keeping an eye on the blood sugars at the moment ... the education never stops!

There appears to be lots of info on Type 1 Diabetics developing Celiac Disease, but not the other way around. And they share the same genes if I'm not mistaken.

Could you please clarify what "LADA" is? When I search it I see a brand of cars...

It stands for Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults .

This is the category for our articles on CD and diabetes:

and more research is emerging that higher gluten consumption childhood can increase the risk of getting Type 1 diabetes, so, not the same as LADA, but an interesting finding. It would be good to see more follow up research to see if this pattern holds up as people age:

Thanks @Scott Adams. From what I gather, some adults with Type 2 go on to develop LADA ... Type 1.5 as they call it ... in fact they really had LADA in the first place but were diagnosed as Type 2 since the antibody test is not the standard Diabetes test for adults. Development of LADA seems the be a slow process.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
