Thank you so much! We are quite similar with history of autoimmune disease. My GfR varies around 60. Type 1 diabetes and celiac share genes and the myasthenia gravis also autoimmune.
I really really appreciate your explanation - which has put my mind at ease. Our similar issues make so much sense with the IgA Kappa and IgA and Beta Globulin. My brother had multiple myeloma.
Wishing a Happy Healthy Holiday Season and best wishes for a Wonderful New Year!

Best wishes to you as well. My GfR varies around 50. MGUS is more common with people with celiac (and older folk), but otherwise no know cause and effect. As with our various autoimmune diseases, MGUS is a waiting game. So focusing on healthy diet, exercise, avoiding stress, and having things to look forward to is important. I refer to celiac as a vocally transmitted social disease; there is some isolation with not always being able to eat with friends so I joined groups that accept my dietary restrictions.
