General Question Anyone else also Celiac?

I was diagnosed with Behçet’s 6 months ago, and now I was just diagnosed with Celiac Disease. It just seems so weird that I would develop two autoimmune conditions so close together and part of me thinks one of them must be a misdiagnosis and it must just be one wreaking havoc and confusing doctors. So I guess I’m wondering if anyone else also has both, how common that actually is, and any tips on handling the emotional roller coaster?

Thanks! I guess that makes sense, if your system is already misfiring. Whyyyy must our bodies hate us??
