Related Disorders List?

[kim26]

i was wondering if anyone would be willing to start a list of disorders and issues related to celiac?

my dd was dx'd about 3 months ago, figuring she inherited it from somewhere i have been tested(everything was negative but i am gluten-free anyway to support my dd, and it has helped with my "IBS" and fatigue, no surprise there right!), my husband is going next, but i am trying to convince him to go gluten-free after the test anyway just to see if it clears up some of his issues. he's tough to convince tho.

some of his issues include: sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, irritability, extreme fatigue to the point of disrupting his everyday life, chronic severe allergies.

anyway, i thought if i could show him that some of his problems may be helped or cleared with the diet it might convince him thank you very much in advance~K

You can start here:

But there are so many related symptoms, the way I see it, Celiac can cause virtually any systemic disorder. That is, anything not caused by a bacterium or virus. It just depends on what parts of the intestine get damaged, and to what degree. All your husband's symptoms can be from Celiac, which may or may not be what either of you want to hear.

rice guy,

thx so much for that link! im going to take some more time to read through everything later when i'm not chasing my 4 year old around the house! lol as far as that being what either of us wants to hear...im totally on board if that ends up being his diagnoses, even if its not i am still urging him to try the diet, he's coming around very slowly. he says he's tired of being miserable and that if the gluten-free diet is a pretty good bet as far as helping him feel better than he just might try it. it will be nice to have the info to put right in front of him! thx again!

Here are two more lists, broken into "Definitely Associated w/ celiac disease" & "Probably Assoc".

Since I've had a few off the Probable list, I'd move those to the Definite list if I could.
