I have Celiac, dairy intolerance, Sjogrens, hypothyroid, year round nasal allergy, seasonal mild asthma, and  osteoporsis.  I have had carpel tunnel surgery on both hands + one thumb for peripheral neurological problems.  Every few months I have visual episodes that has been dx'd either as partial lobe seizures or migraine without headache.  Occipital calcifications were observed in the MRI, which can sometimes be found in long standing undiagnosed CD, which is true for me.  Fortunately, the mouth ulcers and vitamin deficiences have been addressed with the addition of extra vitamines and minerals + a gluten free diet.  All of these are related to the autoimmune system in one way or the other.
