I would say yes although I don’t know and no doctor would confirm but that is how I discovered I had ET. Dreadful stomach pains and nausea, many scans and tests and no one knew what was wrong. My homeopath tested me and told me I was gluten intolerant. So cut out gluten and felt great. But still no answer on high platelets had to pay private for a diagnosis. I am now also intolerant to dairy. I have read that having ET makes our bodies less able to process gluten and diary. Hope this helps.
