  Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug
  
  With all the bloodwork, have they checked your vitamin D? What is it? Celiac Disease causes malabsorption, so vitamin deficiencies are common. Doctors rarely mention this. B1 Gastrointestinal beriberi, a severe thiamine deficiency, is characterized by symptoms including anorexia (loss of appetite), abdominal discomfort and pain, nausea, and vomiting...

  Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug
  
  I used the cream for 4 days as prescribed 3 years ago. While I cannot be sure it triggered these problems, the timing is very suspicious.

  Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history
  
  Just switching to gluten free diet will answer your question without involving anyone else. Your sister was diagnosed, that puts you at 40% risk of having it also as a first degree relative. If you improve on a trial gluten free diet, you either have Celiac Disease (autoimmune) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (not autoimmune). In any case it is important...
