Guest guest Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Here is an answer from a friend of mine who has Celiac regarding Celiac and mold exposure: Adult onset Celiac Disease is a trigger disease, meaning we carry the possibility of having it until some stress to the body triggers it and all of a sudden we are ill with it. I am not surprised that people have gotten ill post mold exposure as that is a severe stress to the body. I don't believe there is anything more to it than that as people get celiac because of a wide range of stressors.
