<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Thanks to everyone who responded regarding the connection between celiac disease and crohn's. From what I was able to find out it seems that both are autoimmune in nature and you can have both concurrently. There is also evidence that Crohn's can be controlled diet. Special thanks to Don Wiss and Jim Lyles who directed me to these great web sites. http://www.panix.com/~donwiss/index.shtml#gott and http://rdz.acor.org/lists/celiac/sn/spnk9712.html#ACS Hope this helps, Karen
