Celiac disease is associated with higher risks of some cancers (although whether this is triggered by eating gluten, a pairing of a genetic trait, or the nutrition absorption problems, no one knows)

Maybe no one's done a study on it, but anything that causes constant irritation is likely to cause cancer. Your risk will probably go way down at this point. As for neurological disorders: do you know how many of them can be triggered simply by a lack of B vitamins?

Congratulate yourself: there may be less fun stuff on this side of the river, but you're also a lot safer.

I'm wondering if celiac is considered a disease of women simply because women are taught to pay attention to their bodies' signals, and men are taught to ignore them. "Just grit your teeth and keep walking."
