Nope! You can have one and not the other-- they are two separate entities. I have Hashimoto's, but I do not have Celiac's.

They are two separate diseases but research, mainly in European countries, has shown a
connection between the two. If you are interested I can find some of those studies or
you can google "Hashimoto's and celiac" and they will come up.

Read recently hashimoto's pts most likely need to be GFCF ( Gluten free/ Casein free - no milk products).

* I admit I feel healthier GFCF.

Sunny,
Well, there is a large correlation between celiac disease and thyroid disorders. I know my doctor and I went round and round for 10+ years trying to regulate my thyroid. (hypo), and it wasn't until I went gluten free that it was the most normal it had ever been! At my worst (pre-gluten free) my level was 62..ON MEDICATION..then I went gluten free, and I was down to 12,with out meds..
Glad you feel better! If you need any good websites or recipies for GF, let me know!
And if you are on Pinterest, type in gluten free, and there are a TON of things on there, including one site that can help you transform any recipie to gluten free with a few changes!
