1)  I think the Dr. may have his information incorrect.  You can have  
all those other diseases, but Celiac does not cause them.  They are  
all auto immune diseases.  And when your immune system is down and  
not functioning properly, you can acquire other auto immune  
diseases.  It is showing with studies, following a GF diet will ease  
some of the systems of the other auto immune diseases, but it won't  
cure them.

2)  Did he really say you can get  all of these diseases from eating  
gluten?   My understanding for most of these conditions  is that a  
gluten free diet may help with the symptoms of these diseases.  That  
is a very different thing from saying gluten causes them, which it  
does for some celiacs in the case of  auto-immune disease, anemia and  
osteoporosis.
