Celiac And Berger's Disease

I was wondering if anyone on here happens to have Berger's disease as well as Celiac's? My younger sister was diagnosed with Berger's (autoimmune disease affecting the kidneys) about 7 years ago and I'm about 95% convinced she probably has Celiac's as well. Has anyone heard of a connection between these two diseases or does anyone else have both? I'm trying to get my sis to start the gluten free diet to see if it helps her at all. I did a little research and found a couple of case studies where the patient had undiagnosed celiac's that seemed to have been a causative factor in the Berger's disease and once the patient was put on the gluten free diet almost all of the Berger's symptoms went away and their bloodwork/kidney numbers improved greatly. I'm just curious. Thanks!!

All I can say about this is that people who have one auto-immune disorder seem to have a much higher probability of suffering from more than one - for example, celiac disease and rheumatoid arthritis. So it wouldn't be too surprising for Berger's disease (which I confess I never heard of before) being accompanied by celiac disease (which is also an auto-immune disorder) in the same person, and there may be causal factors connecting them. This research is pretty recent.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hi Florence- This forum has been a wealth of knowledge on supplements. I am always weary of brand names as well. What I found through Consumerlabs which independently tests for metals, digestive breakdown of supplements and if what the packages states is indeed what is in the product I have found the number one for super B complex is Kirkland and for multivitamin...

      Hi Florence- This forum has been a wealth of knowledge on supplements. I am always weary of brand names as well. What I found through Consumerlabs which independently tests for metals, digestive breakdown of supplements and if what the packages states is indeed what is in the product I have found the number one for super B complex is Kirkland and for multivitamin for Men and woman 50+ Natures made multivitamin for her as it gives the right amount needed for both men and women as the mens has too much. For Probiotics ALign came out on top the 5x and the one for bloating. Knitty Kitty provided me good supplement brands as well.

      Gluten-Mimicking Proteins that can affect some Celiac individuals.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi all: I have had Celiac for 47 years. I have not seen much info on the following, and 3 of these  affect me. In case this info helps someone else, I offer the following: Gluten-like proteins is a topic I want to share, as they have added bad reactions to my Celiac condition.  Reactions can range from Gut discomfort such as Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting, and inflammation causing a feeling of being very warm to hot. The following are considered  Gluten-Mimicking Proteins: Corn (Zein protein) (this causes inflammation with me). Millet Panicin protein) Sorghum (Kafirin protein).  Potato (Patatin protein, is NOT considered a Gluten-Mimic, nor is Oats (Avenin) but they do cause reactions in some Celiac people... I eat potato and I vomit, and get diarrhea. gluten-free Oats causes me to have Nausea, and Corn causes me  Inflammation.  I hope this helps someone.  Wishing the very best to all.   Florence.

It was my haematologist that checked more of my symptoms and came up with the result. So I am trying hard to get some nutrition into my body. All of this info on supplements and nutritional diets is very helpful.  Regards Margaret.
