Hi-

I was diagnosed with leukemia at age 18 and have now "developed" celiac at age 43, although I'm sure it was earlier than that.

I just got a call from a woman who has a celiac son and he just developed leukemia.

Anyone know if there is some study or something on this?

Thanks-
Sarah

According to the book Dangerous Grains there is a strong correlation between the 2. Once you change your diet and go off gluten and eat less processed foods and sugar that correlation greatly diminishes.

When I was younger I was starting to develop skin cancer however this went away on its own when I changed my diet.

There is a correlation. It has been documented so if you google leukemia and celiac you will most likely have quite a bit pop up.
