If you think about it, there's pretty much a correlation with long-term inflammation and almost any chronic health condition. In that sense, unaddressed celiac is probably a universally BAD THING and I would suspect that there's a least a weakly causative link to be found for any whole-body health condition you choose. In a similar fashion, all of the information that Rich has posted about the health benefits of a good diet clearly implies a health deficit from a poor diet. Turns out the old adage "you are what you eat" meant more than we thought it did.
