Latent Celiac Disease and Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease Association

and B12 deficiency, ANA, Antigliadin Ig G, Tissue transglutaminase IgG and HLA-DQ2 positivity. The clinical, laboratory, and interventional results of the patient were not fully compatible with a specific rheumatic disease pattern. No pathology was detected in the esophagogastroduodenal endoscopy but the gluten-free diet, based on clinical findings, provided clinical improvement. It is known that autoimmune or rheumatologic disorders are more common in celiac patients than in the normal pop- ulation. We presented this case as a case of UCTD accompanying LCD to bring a different perspective to the pathophysiology of Celiac disease.
