Duggar In-Law's Husband Battles Severe Celiac Disease
6 Oct
Summary
- Husband Dillon King diagnosed with celiac disease
- Caused severe pain and rupture in his diaphragm
- Couple making diet changes and monitoring condition

In October 2025, Amy Duggar King and her husband, Dillon King, are still searching for answers about his recent health concerns. Dillon has been experiencing severe pain that has prevented him from doing many of the activities he loves, such as golfing. After seeing multiple doctors and undergoing several tests, the couple learned that Dillon has celiac disease.
Amy reveals that she has "been poisoning him for 10 years straight" with foods containing gluten, which has been "burning through his intestines." Dillon's symptoms have become so severe that they have caused a rupture in his diaphragm, leading to some of his vital organs shifting into his chest cavity. While Dillon is still functioning and alive, the couple is closely monitoring the situation and trying to determine the next steps, which may include surgery.
Despite the challenges, the couple remains optimistic. They have made significant changes to Dillon's diet, and he is now in less pain. Amy and Dillon, who have been married since 2015 and share a 5-year-old son, are determined to get through this health battle together.
