Link between coeliac disease and diabetes shown
diabetes.co.uk — “Scientists in the UK have identified a link between coeliac disease , a food intolerance disorder, and type 1 diabetes . The study, partly funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), showed that both conditions shared a common genetic origin, which suggested that they may also be brought on by similar environmental factors . This lead the researchers to claim that the protein gluten , which is known to cause coeliac disease, could also be a trigger for type 1 diabetes .” View full resource at diabetes.co.uk
