Any Relationship Between Celiac And Paget's?

Recommended Posts

I have Celiac disease. It was just diagnosed in this summer (altho I have been sick for 16 years...it has been a blessing to finally figure out what the problem was). I am fairly certain that it comes from my dads side of the family (based on their medical histories), but he will not get tested. His brother, my uncle, was just diganosed with Paget's Disease. Has anyone out there seen any correlation between Celiac and Paget's? I am kind of hoping that if there is, maybe THEN my dad will get tested. Thanks!

I don't know about Padget's Disease, but osteoporosis, arthritis, fibromyalgia and similar issues are quite common.

bumping? Anyone?

I have had a headache since 1999 (everyday, 24/7). I was hoping, after the Celiac diagnosis and 100% gluten-free diet, it would go away. It hasnt. I was wondering if there is a link between Celiac and pagets.

I'm so sorry to hear about your constant headaches. I wish I could take them away. :( Maybe more time free from gluten will eventually do it. Let's hope so.

I am the only one in my family who has tested or who is even interested in being tested. So even though there are others in my family who are likely blessed with gluten sensitivity too, we may never know. Anyway, my father has definite Paget's. I have asked my doctor and he hasn't heard of any connection. But he isn't very well read on the subject of gluten, unfortunately either. There are lots of other bone and cartilage related issues in my family scattered about as well. But I'm sorry I can't give you a more definitive answer.

Personally, I do think there may very well be a connection between Pagets's and gluten issues. Just my opinion.

Thanks! All of my other "issues" have gone away on the gluten-free diet...and I feel SO much better, so I am happy. I keep HOPING that the headaches will go away eventually, but after 6months, I am not so sure. So, I am keeping Pagets in the back of my head (no pun intended) since my uncle has it and Pagets can cause headaches. I am going to see a doc more versed in Celiac in Jan and I will ask if he know of any Celiac/Pagets connections. I will post if he thinks there is. Thanks for your post.

I think you're smart to keep this idea in mind and pay attention to your symptoms. Celiac can explain a lot, but it doesn't explain everything.

A few months ago I was diagnosed with autoimmune hypothyroidism. Since then I've figured out I'm intolerant to gluten and corn and have low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria). I was also diagnosed with halo nevi, rosacea, and chronic dry eyes... I'm planning to get the blood test for Sjogren's antibodies later this month.

Gosh, that is a lot to deal with! Hope you feel better soon!

It is a lot to deal with...

The thing is, I had SO many warning signs. Some of them I thought were just "normal" for me... dandruff, hair loss, feeling cold all the time, constipation, dry skin. Others symptoms (abdominal pain, heartburn, fatigue, depression, joint pain) I chalked up to being pregnant three times in four years and losing one child. Other things doctors knew about... low blood pressure, heavy periods, acne, weight gain, slow heart rate, dry eyes... but nobody put the pieces together! I was only able to do it once I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (a total fluke... I was just looking for a new primary care doctor). Autoimmune disorders seem to be like that. You can be half dead before someone notices. Anyway... now I'm doing a LOT of reading and really paying attention to the signs my body is giving me :) I could have gone months or years without getting these other diagnoses.

      Canker sores can definitely be frustrating, especially when you're already managing a strict gluten-free lifestyle and have been diagnosed with celiac disease for so long. While these painful mouth ulcers aren’t exclusive to celiac disease, they can be linked to nutritional deficiencies—particularly of iron, folate, or vitamin B12 (as @trents mentioned )—which are common in people with celiac, even those who are very careful with their diet. Ongoing fatigue and aches might also suggest that your body isn’t fully absorbing nutrients or that there’s some underlying inflammation. It could be helpful to get bloodwork done to check for these deficiencies, and possibly even a full nutritional panel. Sometimes, new sensitivities or hidden sources of gluten or additives like sodium lauryl sulfate (common in toothpaste) can trigger symptoms like canker sores too. Since your reactions are so severe and you're highly vigilant, it might also be worth considering whether any other autoimmune conditions could be involved, as they can develop over time and overlap with celiac. Consulting with your doctor or a celiac-informed dietitian may help pinpoint the cause and bring relief.

      @Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin.  You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth.   I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles.  These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter your nose and be swallowed, going into your digestive tract.  I have to avoid the bakery aisle at the grocery store for this reason.  An M95 mask helps. If you get nutritional deficiencies corrected, your immune system will calm down and be less reactive to gluten expose.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.  Thiamine and Niacin help make digestive enzymes which would help digest any accidental gluten exposure.  Thiamine helps Mast cells not to release histamine, an inflammatory agent released as part of the reaction to gluten, and also a neurotransmitter that causes alertness and anxiety, and the flight or fight response.  Pyridoxine will help improve the OCD.  Remember your brain is part of the body.  Vitamin deficiencies affect your brain and mental health as well as the rest of your body.

      I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did).  I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten.

      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately

      Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?
