This subject has come up a few times, on celiac forums as well as lyme disease forums, apparently. The symptoms do cross over between lyme disease, celiac disease, B12 deficiency, and MS. These things can and do co-exist, and there seems there might be an increased association between lyme disease and celiac disease, too. If you have celiac disease, B12 deficiency, and lyme disease....they all need to be treated.
We've had a few members here treated for Lyme disease as well as gluten sensitivity/celiac disease. It seems like it might be a chicken/egg scenario. Lyme disease can damage the gut, and leave one more susceptible to developing gluten sensitivity/celiac disease. Celiac Disease can weaken the immune system, possibly leaving one more susceptible to succumbing to lyme disease.
