My understanding is that there are many other auto-immune diseases which
occur more commonly in CD patients than in the rest of the population ---
like juvenile diabetes.  See the "FAQ" for more details and a list (send
an email to [log in to unmask] with GET CELIAC FAQ in the body) It
is important to know this since if you have CD, you should be a bit more
suspicious than others of symptoms which occur from these other
disorders.... however this does not mean that CD *causes* diabetes, or
visa versa.

Certain HLA markers on chromosome 6 are associated with much higher
incidence of various autoimmune disorders.  To obtain a copy of the
article by Dr. Reed Warren of Utah State University, where the
introduction maps out which disorders are associated with various HLA
markers.  Send in the body of an email to: [log in to unmask]
