JFK Did Have Celiac Disease

Steroids, given for "Addison's Disease"--which JFK never had--stop autoimmune disease dead in its tracks, which is the basic nature of Celiac disease.

Yes, "it was reported that JFK devloped Addison's Disease after excessive treatment with sterois", but this is based on the fact that the adrenals, even under normal output without such treatment, reduce steroid output as per normal hormonal feedback compensation when steroids are taken. JFK developed signs of adrenal insuficiency when he forgot his medication on an overseas trip once, which was the normal thing to be expected under the circumstances and in no way proved he had Addison's Disease. Celiac is much more indicated and in fact provable with his overall medical history.

I have Celiac disease that was undiagnosed for 45 years of my male life and untreated in any fashion until that time. The other part of this story which causes my own personal interest is that my late father personally nominated John F. Kennedy as a delegate to the 1960 Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles, and it was through my father's line(Irish) I got the genes associated with Celiac.

Nice site

Nice article

Men w/ Celiac Disease

Nicely written article.

Thanks for making the public aware of this autoimmune disorder.

As a biopsy diagnosed male with celiac disease its nice to see truthful articles that inform the public of the evils of gluten and the destructiveness of this disease on the human body.

John F. Kennedy and Celiac Disease

It was reported that John F. Kennedy developed Addison's Disease after excessive treatment for his colitis with medication, namely cortical steroids, which was a new drug at that time.

John F. Kennedy and Celiac Disease

Mr. Kennedy also had Addison's Disease and so did my Mother. I have Celiac Disease and I think that she had Celiac too. She was diagnosed with IBS in the early 1960's. She was so sick all of her life with migraines, fatique, and many other ailments. I really do believe that Celiac Disease is only "the tip of the iceberg".

About On Men

It's fitting that On Men is being revived by Contributor Ford Vox, M.D., a resident in rehabilitation medicine at Barnes-Jewish Hospital/Washington University in St. Louis. He will share his thoughts about the latest medical research and issues that affect men. Dr. Vox, who also reports for Reuters Health, knows he should spend more time swimming laps, but that would cut into his soothing soaks in the aquatic center whirlpool. Push him into the deep end with questions and comments at onmen@usnews.com.
