As far as I am aware there is no link between Coeliac and Crohns. Someone at a local hospital had *two* patients with *both* conditions and did a survey of my local group to see if it was a coincidence or not. The survey indicated that there was no significant correlation between Coeliac in a person and Crohns for the same person or their immediate blood relations. (The group has over a hundred members I think.) If I recall correctly he found a slight link with ulcerative colitis (spelling?) but I haven't heard any more about this. To get back to your question, he didn't mention a gluten free diet helping with Crohns and I'm sure he would have said so if it did. Tim -- Tim Partridge.
