My daughter has Celiac and has been gluten free for 1 year and 9 months. I saw a post on here about weak immune systems. I have a similar question but different. My daughter does get sick much less often now that she is gluten free but the problem is that when she does get sick she can not get better very easily, I think her Celiac is somehow related but do not know how. Her problem is whatever the sickness is if it makes her start throwing up she can not stop and ends up in the hospital getting fluids for dehydration. Everytime this has happened she has had to be admitted to get over it. Twice they have give her a liter of fluids and some nausea meds and sent her home and it never worked. we were always back the next day. Anyone else have any similar problems or know what we can do about this. Thank you

I do have problems knocking out viruses. I am hoping that continously getting the right nutrients and probiotics will help recovery and eventually help the immune system recover. I hope you will have success in overcoming it. Sorry you both have to go through this and I hope it will be better soon.

I wonder if this will keep happening until we get our B and D vitamins and other nutrients up to where they should be. I just had the flu and it has last more than two weeks. Never in my life has the flu lasted that long or been so bad! So I do think our immune systems take time to get back to normal.

There has been some research showing celiacs are more likely to be hospitalized with the flu: Open Original Shared Link

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.
