I am wondering if you can tell me is there a connection between pernicious anemia and celiac disease? I was tested for pernicious anemia and I was positive And when I diet I feel much better and what ever the diet I usually end up limiting my bread type foods. Should I been tested for celiac? I already did some tests.

I think you should be tested for celiac and I believe that is connected with pernicious anemia. What kind of tests you’ve done and what was your diet in the 3 -6 weeks leading up to the tests? Current thinking is that the tests are not as reliable as once thought because there is a very high incidence of false negatives with the current tests. Hope this helps.
