Celiac Disease Related Conditions & Diseases
Celiac disease can affect any system in the body, which can lead to the development of other conditions, like anemia, depression, infertility, thyroid disease, and more. Some conditions may be temporary, like anemia, while others may be chronic. It is also generally accepted that having one autoimmune disease means you are more likely to develop another.
