Sjogren's Syndrome and Celiac Disease

Many people with autoimmune disease have more than one rheumatological condition. Just our luck! Studies have found clear overlap between those with Sjogren’s Syndrome and Celiac Disease and estimate that between 4.5% and 15% of those with Sjogren’s also have Celiac Disease.  The Journal of the American Medical Association's October 12th issue provided an easy to understand patient education sheet with great information and illustrations about Celiac Disease that I wanted to share.
