Celiac Disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome often has celiac disease as the root cause.  The cure is simple in this case. Too bad many doctors don’t realize this.

In this article, we will look at what irritable bowel syndrome is, how it is sometimes connected to celiac disease, and how a gluten-free diet may help.

Celiac Disease and Thyroid Disease

Celiac disease and thyroid disease are more linked than you might think.  If you have one, look out for the other.

There are two types of thyroid disease: Hashimoto’s disease (hypothyroidism) and Grave’s disease (hyperthyroidism).

Both are autoimmune diseases.  Celiac disease is also an autoimmune condition.

Celiac disease may be involved in both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

Allergies and Spring Grass Mold

Allergies can be triggered by the mold that grows on grass in the spring.  It explains why the end of the melt sucks if you’re allergic to mold.

This is related to snow mold.  Its hard to tell if its the same mold that grows in the full sun on melting snow, or a different type of mold. Either way, if you have a mold allergy, its just no fun!

Spring Depression and Allergies

Spring depression: such a weird idea, I didn’t connect them for decades.  Figured it out last year, confirmed this year.  Allergies and spring depression can go together.

I thought it was just me!  But a quick search on the internet reveals that it does effect quite a few people. 

Are you one of them?

Let’s take a closer look at one possible root cause: specific types of allergies.

Celiac Disease Associated Autoimmune Endocrinopathies

Celiac Disease Associated Autoimmune Endocrinopathies, a scientific paper, discusses several diseases that are loosely coupled with celiac disease.

In other words, people diagnosed with certain diseases have a much higher chance of having celiac disease than the general population.

This is important because managing the celiac disease by going on a gluten-free diet will have a positive effect on theses other diseases, and will generally improve your health.

The diseases discussed in this paper are all autoimmune endocrine disorders as follows:

Gluten Allergy and Eating Out Safely

Gluten allergy can really cramp your style when you need to eat out.

I find most restaurant food pretty risky (with some exceptions), even when the staff try very hard to make sure my meal is gluten-free.

Each time I have to go out for lunch, I weigh the risk versus benefit of exposing myself to potential gluten contamination in the food.

Gluten-Free Diet Story by Ashley

A gluten free diet can be very beneficial to many people. You may experience more energy. Cutting out gluten may turn your whole life around.

Ashley left this comment on another article (gluten allergy symptoms). It is such a good and useful comment that I've turned it into an article.

Ashley talks about the problems she had and how cutting out gluten helped.

She also explains the battle she had with doctors who did not understand that she has a gluten allergy.

Back after being away

For those of you who left comments about alleriges on this website, and didn't see them show up, you'll be glad to know that I've sorted through them (most of them anyhow) and you should see yours now.

I was out of town for a while and so I slipped behind with comment maintenance!

I'll write up an article about my experience at the hotel when I get some time, it was interesting to see how they managed my gluten-free needs.
