Celiac disease and Crohn's?

Hi, all! Short-time lurker, first-time poster. :)

My question is regarding celiac disease and Crohn's. I was diagnosed recently with Crohn's disease (mild, thank God) and have dutifully cut out a lot of foods from my diet in order to improve my quality of life. I go easy on the lactose, avoid grease and caffeine, and try to eat more veggies (my Crohn's alternates between constipation and the Big D).

My father was diagnosed in ~2006 with celiac disease, so I recently cut out gluten to see what happened. I actually feel lots better. I know they're both autoimmune diseases that look very similar, and that celiac is hereditary, but I tested negative for celiac. Is it possible that there's some correlation? I love feeling this way but am hesitant to count my chickens before they hatch.

Also, just looking for some encouragement, I guess. I'm 20 years old and live at university 1,000 miles away from my doctors (and parents!). :)

Hi, i have crohn's and i have huge issues with wheat. My sister and aunt both have coeliac and i had the blood test which was negative, however no one told me i had to be eating wheat at the time and i had'nt eaten it for months! My symptoms when i eat it are worse than my sisters! My consultant said the only way to tell now is via a biopsy but i have a genuine phobia of choking so it's a no go for me. The way i see it is whether i have it or not, i still can't eat wheat so i'm not too concerned with a formal diagnosis.
