People with celiac disease are at increased risk of developing other autoimmune disorders. Leaving the gluten-free diet not only causes the recurrence of celiac disease, but also increases the incidence of other autoimmune disorders. Here, we present 5 cases suffering from other autoimmune diseases in addition to background celiac disease. Careful and continuous monitoring of these patients can greatly prevent the occurrence of other autoimmune disorders.
