As more research is conducted on Celiac Disease, it seems that more and more other problems are linked to having Celiac. In fact, many people are now being diagnosed with Celiac Disease despite not having any of the “standard” symptoms of Celiac Disease.
The latest story I’ve found discusses Thyroid Disease and the possible link between Celiac Disease and Thyroid Disease. According to Reuters:
Using data from Swedish national registers, researchers led by Dr. Peter Elfstrom at Orebro University Hospital, studied the long-term risk of thyroid disease in more than 14,000 individuals diagnosed with celiac disease between 1964 and 2003 and some 68,000 age- and gender-matched control subjects without celiac disease.
They found that people with celiac disease had a greater than fourfold increased risk of being diagnosed with hypothyroidism, a threefold increased risk of suffering hyperthyroidism, and a 3.6-fold increased risk of developing thyroiditis.
The reverse was also true, with the same level of statistical significance, for an increased risk of celiac disease in people with established hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and thyroiditis.
