The enteropathy that occurs in AIDS is a complex process that may be the
result of may abnormalities including infections, HIV viral infection
itself, and autoimmune processes that occur due to the dysregulation of
the immune system. There are some slight similarities between the two
conditions.  I have yet to hear of the 2 conditions co-existing in the
one individual.  The use of the term gluten free in advertisements for
food supplements for AIDS probably refects the growing awareness among
these companies of the things to leave out of food supplements like
lactose, gluten and other things.  Wheat itself may not be completely
digested in normal individuals and hence the challenged digestion of the
unfortunate victim of aids enteropathy may have more difficulty with
wheat than with other foods.
the observation that CD may become apparent after a viral infection is a
common phenomenon in many autoimune diseases as well as GI inflammatory
states.  I have seen 2 cases of inflammatory bowel that occurred after an
attack of CMV ( a common and usualy very benign disease in healthy
people. This could be related to the non-specific stimulation of the
immune system or a more specific incutement of a reaction to a host (
patient ) protein leading to disease. The example that has been suggested
in CD is Adenovirus 12.  see multiple references under KAgnoff M.
