My grandfather died of pancreatic cancer and I had thought it unrelated to digestive disorders. However I did a search on this forum and was... well .. alarmed.

Can anyone give me any information/experience with this cancer as it relates to gluten?

I have googled etc but can't seem to read much which will help

There is much written about celiac disease and it's association with various cancers. It does not mean that if you have celiac you will develop cancer; studies do, however, suggest that undiagnosed celiac or non-adherence to a strict gluten free diet MAY increase the risk of developing cancer, in particular, lymphoma.

But the good news is, if you stick to the gluten-free diet and reduce the inflammation from celiac disease, in time, your risk for cancer is no greater than anyone else's. Or so, the current research tells us! :)

Others have posted with the same query. Take a look and see if this helps:

You bet, hon. ;) Hope it helps!

and P.S. Don't worry yourself over it too much.

Sometimes family illnesses/other health issues have NOTHING to do with celiac.

They just "are".

Oh I am so over stressing. I'm not diagnosed - won't ever go back to the poison even if it all turns out to be something completely different. The past couple of weeks I have just felt so much better than I have in a long time! Just been out throwing the football around with son Liam :) Worked 9 hours yesterday! Losing weight and almost at healthy (woohoo). No drugs and one doc visit.

I'm one of the lucky ones - itchy but very very lucky.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
