My mum always tells me to take Zinc. We've got these zinc drops, sorta like cough drops. Not sure what brand they are (maybe walmart's brand, whatever that is??). They don't taste very good but they do seem to help me not get sick and cut my colds in half.

I would make it a habit to take extra vitamin C. I also take garlic -- Kyolic has one specifically made for boosting the immune system.

Get lots of rest, on a regular basis.

Eat healthy, regular meals -- don't skip meals and eat junk. Avoid excessive refined carbohydrates.

like carlab mentioned - eat a healthy balanced diet. it's possible you could be missing out on vital things if you aren't.

also - make sure you exercise daily! even if some days it's just a short walk. i hope you feel better and congrats on the upcoming wedding.

Good suggestions all around- also:

If you can afford it and have time one of the "proven" benefits of acupuncture is boosting the human immune system. I KNOW it has done this for me in the past and I am using it now for the same reason. Good luck to you.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.

      I would suggest you ask your doctor to order a "total IGA" test to check for IGA deficiency.
