<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I too would like to know more about this connection. I have had low thyroid and been taking drugs for thirteen years. My previous doctor did blood tests a few years ago and said I had Lupus antibodies. My current doctor says no. I was diagnosed in april with Celiac Disease. My sisters two children (each have different fathers) have been diagnosed with Muscular Distrophy. All this along with my parents diagnosed with bladder and colon cancer has happened in the last 5 years. We have no evidence of any of this in the last two generations. Although some of these problems are not autoimmune. Most of the ones in my case are. I have been told I have to go for CT scans regularly as I have uncommon lymph nodes on the outer wall of my small intestine. I wonder if I am also facing Non Hodgkins, again another autoimmune desease. I am of the belief that my Celiac disease is definitely autoimmune related.
