Prevalence of Autoimmune Disorders

 Last week with our group was so good Dr. Karnam  was amazing I learn some thing new every time I here him. The biggest thing for me was that I learned something new about autoimmune disorders. They are all interconnected that is why they treat them the same way with the gluten free diet. Not all of them but I would say many of them. The autoimmune disorders are growing and their are many that have had problems but just do not known that they have a autoimmune problem. They probley go to their doctor and thought of to having some thing else and so they are miss treated, so the problem keeps going and in many cases gets worse and they get other problems because their immune system is week. Any way it was great information so if you think that you may have other disorders get them checked out, see your doctor and talk to him or her and let them know your concerns. The prevalence of celiac disease occurs at higher rates in groups with associated disorders as goes.
