This will be brief, smile.gif , almost any autoimmune disease can be related to having undiagnosed celiac. The immune mediated response of the body to gluten injestion can cause a multitude of ill effects as it tries to rid the system of the toxin. Since the toxin permeates all tissues the body can and will turn on itself in a vain attempt to protect you from it's effects. Whether those specific ailments are related with you I can not of course say with any certainty. Have you asked your doctor to do at the least a celiac panel or have you tried the gluten-free diet to see if it helps any issues you have?
