<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> A while ago, I questioned whether there was a link between celiac and thyroid. All the responses indicated that there was definately a link between these two autoimmune disorders. What I have found very interesting is that in 6 cases the mother has a thyroid disease (5 with hypothyroidism and one with hyperthyroidism) and a child has celiac disease. In two cases (and I don't know about the others but two explicitly stated this) there is no other family history of CD, so it makes me wonder if the thyroid disease is the doorway to developing CD?? Just a thought.... P.S. For those who were curious, my CD tests came back negative. I eliminated dairy and my symptoms have improved. Michele Kratzmeier (301) 640-3079 861/4B40
