[QUOTE="jopar, post: 68979, member: 11712"] I think what hanna is thinking of is coeliac disease which is another autoimmune disease that can be associated with T1 diabetes… This would respond if you removed wheat from your diet, as wheat contains gluten which causes all the problems for the suffering, but sadly there many other products and foods that also contain gluten in it and by just removing the wheat part would resolve all the issues associated with this condition To diagnose a individual for coeliac can only be confirmed by a biopsy from the intestine it is important that the patient remains on there normal diet otherwise the test will show a negative.. There is a blood test that can be done, but this is considered to be flawed with giving a high percentage of false negatives, so can not be relied upon totally.. The reason for having to remain on the same diet is that in laymen’s terms your body is allergic to the gluten, and this causes lesions etc to the intestines just like the rashes that you can get on your skin when you come into contact with a product that you are allergic to... By removing the wheat/gluten from your diet allows the intestine to recover and heal, this would affect the biopsy as there would be nothing to find… People who are coeliac (gluten intolerant) are entitled to free prescriptions of certain food products, so a proper diagnoses is a very good idea.. You can find out more about coeliac here [url=http://www.coeliac.org.uk/coeliac_disease/default.asp]http://www.coeliac.org.uk/coeliac_disease/default.asp[/url] And more on how it’s diagnosed here [url=http://www.coeliac.org.uk/coeliac_disease/how_to_get_diagnosed/default.asp]http://www.coeliac.org.uk/coeliac_disea ... efault.asp[/url] [/QUOTE]
