Flu Vaccine

I’m wondering if there is a certain brand or type of flu vaccine that is better for sensitive celiacs. I had a reaction last year and had a lot of sensations itchiness etc. I would like that to not happen again so wondered if anyone had a recommendation or if they have received certain ones this year that they didn’t react to

Perhaps you have a chicken egg allergy, which is used in some types of flu vaccine:

It looks like there are types that don't use it, and you may want to ask your doctor about the Recombinant Influenza (Flu) Vaccine:

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
