I am posting to the whole list, as this is a problem that may not be addressed as often as it could be. A sub-group of celiacs, myself included, experience intestinal bleeding, and a host of other abdominal/GI symptoms in response to NSAIDS. Since both substances can cause microvascular leakage in a person with celiac disease, it is important to proceed with caution when taking NSAIDs. My father bled to death intestinally. Now that I know something about celiac disease, I am convinced that he also had celiac disease. I hope that is helpful. Best Wishes, Ron Hoggan Calgary, Alberta, Canada
