Does anybody know whether Water Infections are linked with Celiac Disease?

By water infections - are you meaning bladder infections and/or problems within the urinary tract?

Interstitial cystitis is believed to be autoimmune based - and if you have celiac then it is not uncommon to have another autoimmune disease.

Recurrent bladder infections can have many causes -

chronic vaginal yeast infections that cause inflammation near the opening to the bladder - then bacteria make their way up the urethra

chronic systemic candida infection

diarrhea (which often accompanies celiac) can lead to bacteria from the stool getting into the urethra

Any autoimmune disease can make a person more susceptible to bladder infections, because the body is in "high alert" all the time (in terms of the immune system). Also celiac causes many secondary symptoms - fatigue, nausea etc...(the list is long). When someone does not feel well or cannot absorb nutrients properly - they are more prone to infections of any kind (viral, bacterial)

      Help with genetic testing

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further. It is not just one gene that is either this or that.

      Help with genetic testing

      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range...

      Help with genetic testing

      I received the results that my child has the genes for celiac disease (she is still undergoing testing and it has been complicated). Can someone explain if this is homozygous HLA DQ 2.5 or not? The interpretation just says permissive for celiac disease. Thank you! DQ Alpha 1 05:01, 5 DQ Beta 1 02:01, 02:01 DQ serologic...

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      I am taking thiamine hydrochloride. It's been over a week, and the burning seems to be gone. I am also taking a lower dose B complex with iron. Thank you so much for your help!

      No. It's over the counter. Readily available on Amazon. Good bio availability but shelf-life is not as good as thiamine mononitrate which is the most common form found in over the counter vitamin products.

I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.
