Is it true that when you're diagnosed with
Celiac Disease and eat gluten, your
immunity to other conditions decreases?

Yes, that is true. Your immune system
gets messed up when you eat gluten as a
celiac, and as a result, your'e more
susceptible to getting other things,
especially other auto-immune disorders
like lupus, diabetes, MS, etc.
