Can celiacs look like cushings?

I've been thinking I might have Cushings and am currently being tested for it. The first blood work came back positive for tissue transglutiminase and gliadin antibodies. So I'm wondering if celiacs can present like Cushings or if it can trigger Cushings or if there's any connections?  I also have Hashimoto's hypothyroid, sclerosis, and vitiligo, btw.

so, you definitely have celiac, which is an autoimmune disease--which makews you susceptible to more autoimmune diseases--such as hashimoto's, which is also autoimmune.  I think it would be a good idea for you to try and find a good endocrinologist and have a wide variety of endocrine testing done.
