I think this is important information for celiacs to read. My younger brother had both celiac and crohns. One article said 18.5% of celiacs have or get crohns also. That's a pretty large number really, almost 20%.

I've always had this theory: Celiac, Crohns and IBS are just different manifestations along a spectrum of autoimmine gastrointestinal disorders. My rationale is this: Celiac, Crohn's and IBS are all genetic. In my immediate family, there is one person with each of those diseases but no 2 people have the same one. I have Celiac. My sister has Crohns. My mom has IBS. (and my lucky father has nothing!). And we've tested negative for the other diseases (i.e. the ones something else has but we don't). Anyone else have something like this?

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.
