So far I've not seen any studies that show that celiacs are more (or less) susceptible to Covid-19. We did do an article on this which recommends that celiacs may want to consider getting their pneumococcal vaccination, which is a recommendation anyway, even before Covid-19:

 

Also, there is a study where doctors are asked to report Covid-19 outcomes in those with celiac disease, so we may have more info soon:

If your celiac disease is well managed, you are not any any higher risk compared to someone without celiac disease as of this date.  This link contains a lot of information and additional links from leading celiac disease research centers:

As a mom, I would advise you to keep to the gluten-free diet, get plenty of sleep, exercise, and sunshine!  Follow the CDC guidelines for avoiding COVID-19 (e.g. washing hands, social distancing).

      Gluten free vitamins

      By llisa · Posted

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.

      Not sure if it's the same formulation as what they sell to Costco. Look for "Gluten Free" on the packaging. And realize that "Gluten Free" does not mean "no gluten". It simply means not more than 20 ppm of gluten. That's fine for most celiacs but if you are of the super sensitive subset it may not be.

      Trents: I read the label and it does say gluten-free. I have used these before, so will be getting some from our local Jewel. Bonus: they are Buy One Get One right now! Thanks.

      Thank you. Not near a Costco. Near Jewel, Kroger, Walgreens,  Walmart,  Aldi's.  I just looked, and Jewel carries a Nature Made vitamin line. I wonder if it's the same?
