Having one autoimmune disease increases the likelihood that you have or will develop another one. They also have cross-reactivity on tests. For instance, false positives on the TTG/IGA for celiac are 2% for healthy patients, but rise to 20% for subjects with type 1 diabetes. Celiac patients have a drastically higher rate of Hashimoto’s, autoimmune thyroid disease: https://www.newsmax.com/t/newsmax/article/718160?keywords=celiac-disease-Hashimotos-thyroiditis-link https://www.newsmax.com/t/newsmax/article/718160?keywords=ce... and also the liver disease cited in the article: https://www.verywell.com/celiac-disease-and-liver-diseases-562618 https://www.verywell.com/celiac-disease-and-liver-diseases-5... Celiac patients also suffer higher rates of MS: https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/2015/05/14/celiac-disease-found-linked-increased-risk-multiple-sclerosis-nerve-damage/ https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/2015/05/14/celiac-dis...
