Susie0402, in my rural county of Washington state, the vaccine has been in very short supply. I have not received any shots yet and by the time it's available to me herd immunity may already be in place.

Sorry for your loss. Sometimes life just backs up and dumps.

It's been a year since your celiac disease diagnosis. How are you feeling physically now? Are you able to stick to a gluten-free diet?

Blessings.

Trents,  I have eliminated gluten from my diet the day in March, 2020 that I was diagnosed.  My family and friends had been so excited about the availability of the vaccine that I signed up and I got the Pfizer.  Eating and food occasions are just not the same to me since the celiac diagnosis.  I'm not feeling great but it could be the stress of life.  I hope that you get the vaccine if that is what you want.  If you choose not to get the vaccine, I totally respect that.  Be well and thanks for checking on me.  Susie

I had my first Pfizer vaccine 2 days ago.  I was so impressed with how efficient the process was.  I felt great after.  That evening my arm became sore.  The next morning it was really sore, but felt similar to a flu shot.  Yesterday afternoon I developed a headache and last night I was exhausted and a bit nauseous.  I went to bed and this morning I feel a lot better.  My arm is now only sore when I touch it.  My headache is very mildly there, but I'm prone to headaches anyway.   

I'm really glad I got it...I'm looking forward to moving forward!

I've had both of my Pfizer vaccination shots and had nothing but a sore arm. I understand many have experienced aching,fever and fatigue, but don't let that stop you from getting vaccinated. I am now looking forward to seeing family who live 1000 miles away.

I had my second Moderna 2 weeks ago.  The first one gave me only a sore arm for a day or two.  The second was quite a bit worse, with headache, body aches, slight fever, extreme fatigue, a rash on my arm.  The first day was OK, and the second day was the worst.  The third and fourth days were very mild.  But all that is nothing compared to what covid might have been for me.  I've been gluten free just over a year now.  My fall flu shot was the first time I ever had unpleasant side effects from a flu shot, and I wondered if that  had anything to do with being relatively new to gluten free.  Maybe my immune system was happy to have some work to do again, LOL.

I also had both Pfizer vaccinations first one just a soreness for a day or two. The second one made me tired and useless. Feel great it's  been for weeks out. We did have trouble finding were to get it. I have a son that works as a delivery driver he got him yesterday. My other son just back from Kuwait after a year deployment they never vaccinated them before and now will get one tomorrow. They are very slow in Michigan.......

      Are you using the same mixer that you used for your gluten containing baking? That could be your culprit.

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?
    • jlp1999
      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits
