CELIAC DISEASE AND ITS IMPACT ON AUTOIMMUNE THYROID

The small intestinal condition known as Celiac Disease (CD) or gluten-sensitive enteropathy is brought on by the bodys immune system reacting to gluten consumption. In populations in the West, it is quite prevalent, with an incidence of 1%. Patients with autoimmune thyroid illness, type 1 diabetes mellitus, autoimmune liver diseases, and inflammatory bowel disease have been observed to have a higher prevalence of CD among autoimmune disorders. Autoimmune thyroid diseases are more common in persons with CD, with hypothyroidism being more common than hyperthyroidism. Examining the frequency of CD in patients with ATD was the goal of this investigation. Adopting a Gluten-Free Diet (GFD) promotes the development of related disorders and enhances the entire therapeutic course. Certain conditions, including iron deficiency anaemia, are made worse by the GFD and eventually go away. This makes it possible to better regulate diseases like type 1 diabetes mellitus. Adequate GFD compliance may also slow down the progression of various other problems and/or related disorders, particularly if started early.
