New To Group

[DonnaEvans-MO]

I just joined the group, due to I want to learn about what the link to Celiac Disease is related to Lyme Disease.

I'm in a group that has a few members with Lyme Disease, and they would love to have information about them.

I do have Celiac Disease, was diagnosed in 2002, due to having Dermatitis Herpetiformis, the test came out positive. I've been doing real good with the wheat/gluten free diet. My home isn't 100% Wheat/gluten free, due to how expensive the food is. I make my meal way before my husband comes home, so I can avoid Cross contamination. I even have my own toaster, even my own cooking pans in such, due to I was having too many issues with Cross contamination.

I'm 49 years old, and living with the wheat/gluten free diet has gotte so much easier for me.

I'm looking forward to learning more from you all. Thank you, Donna Evans in MO

Welcome Donna! You've certainly found a great support group here.

Thank you, Janet!! I wish I knew about this group sooner!!!

I also have asthma, was diagnosed two years before I was diagnosed positive with Dermatitis Herpetiformis, which makes me a Celiac.

I also deal with High Blood pressure, but it's well under control, due to the medication. Helps I keep salt out of my system, I get enough for what my body requires, but not over the limit. I use Sodium free salt and sodium free seasoned salt. The regular salt comes in breads and other foods I eat, which means I'm getting what I need, but not over th amount.

I'm so glad I joined, and see there's so much in the group I can learn more.

Welcome. There is no actual link between the two but folks can certainly have both. Any illness or stress can trigger celiac so Lyme could be a trigger but that is about as far as the relationship goes. They also have some symptoms that would be the same but that could be said for a lot of disorders.
