Do patients with celiac disease patients differ from those with concurrent celiac disease with type 1 diabetes mellitus?

Background and objectives Celiac disease (CD) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) share common genetic loci. Patients with T1DM developing CD may remain asymptomatic and some of the common symptoms of CD may be considered as part of the chronic complications of diabetes like gastrointestinal intolerance, diarrhea, nocturnal diarrhea, alternate diarrhea and constipation. There are no reports on comparison of presenting features of patients with CD and those with CD and T1DM together. The present study was planned to compare clinical, biochemical and hormonal profile of patients of CD and CD with T1DM.
