If a person has Addisons disease caused by Celiac disease, will going gluten free heal the Addison's or greatly improve it maybe?

IMO, there's no coming back from true Addison's disease. The NIH says that by the time a person is diagnosed with Addison's "at least 90% of the adrenal cortex has been destroyed."

The solution is to take a physiological dose of steroids (hydrocortisone) and replace what your body is supposed to be making on its own. A gluten-free diet might help to keep Addison's under better control, but it's like type I diabetes or severe Hashimoto's... once the gland is destroyed, that's it.

Thank you, that gives me a better understanding of it.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
