Dear listmates (especially those who follow the research more closely than I!),

In light of 
1) what we know about celiacs having a genetic predisposition and hypothesized triggering event, and
2) anecdotal reports (people I know or have heard about at support groups) of an intimate partner developing and being diagnosed with celiac disease some time after the other partner, and 
3) growing awareness of the influence of an individual’s microbiota on their overall health and some specific conditions, and 
4) the fact that intimate partners have more in common in their microbiomes than two random unrelated, non-intimate people;
does anyone know of any scientific study indicating that intimate partners are also more likely than average to develop celiac disease, as we know blood-relatives are?

Just curious!

Jack
