Study Links Anti-tTG and EMA Antibodies to Fibromyalgia Risk in Celiac Disease Patients

- A cross-sectional study reveals patients with celiac disease who test positive for anti-tTG and anti-EMA antibodies show significantly higher rates of fibromyalgia (P = 0.04). - Research conducted at Bezmialem Vakif University demonstrates overlapping symptoms between celiac disease and fibromyalgia, suggesting a potential autoimmune inflammatory connection. - Investigators emphasize the importance of screening for fibromyalgia in celiac disease patients with extraintestinal manifestations to improve treatment outcomes.
