    IBD Patients Seem to Have Milder Effects from COVID-19
    Celiac.com 04/30/2020 - Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) seem to suffer milder effects in the disease phase of COVID-19 than other patients, according to two new reports. That may be due to their treatment with immunosuppressant drugs, including salicylates. What's going on? Could people with celiac disease share a similar benefit?
    Because many patients with IBD receive immunosuppressive drugs, doctors have wondered whether those patients might be more susceptible to COVID-19, or its effects. On the other hand, immunomodulatory therapies might also suppress the hyperinflammatory cytokine response associated with the most severe presentations of COVID-19.
    Dr. Lorenzo Norsa and colleagues observed 522 IBD patients in their clinic at the Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital...

    No Higher Covid-19 Risk for Celiac Disease Patients
    Celiac.com 11/23/2020 - Since March 2020, when the World Health Organization declared coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) a global pandemic, researchers and laypeople have been wondering if people with certain health conditions, such as celiac disease, might face a higher risk for contracting Covid-19. 
    Celiac disease is a chronic immune-mediated gastrointestinal condition triggered by gluten, which numerous studies have shown to be associated with an elevated risk of respiratory infection. 
    A team of researchers recently set out to determine whether celiac disease patients have a higher risk of contracting COVID-19. The research team included Jamie Zhen, Juan Pablo Stefanolo, Maria de la Paz Temprano, Sebastian Tedesco, Caroline Seiler, Alberto Fernandez Caminero, Enrique d...

    COVID-19 a Possible Trigger for Celiac Disease in Those with Genetic Risk
    Celiac.com 06/28/2021 - There is a growing body of data to suggest the intestinal action of SARS-CoV-2, with ciliated cells and intestinal enterocytes serving as target cells, due to high expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2, could possibly trigger celiac disease in predisposed individuals.
    Indeed, COVID-19 promotes a “cytokine storm” in the intestinal mucosa, triggering epithelial damage that increases barrier permeability, permitting gliadin to "leak" into the intestinal lamina. However, the possible impact of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the resulting disease, on celiac disease rates remains unknown, with no data currently available on the development of systemic disorder, or on long-term outcomes. 
    A team of researchers recently set out to highlight the potential risk of a r...

    Altered Gut Bacteria Linked With Long COVID-19 Symptoms
    Celiac.com 02/14/2022 - Prior studies have found links between the gut microbiome and COVID-19, along with other diseases. However, a new study by investigators at the Chinese University of Hong Kong offers the first published data specifically linking gut health to COVID's long-term effects.
    The research team assessed 106 patients with COVID-19 from February to August 2020, at three different hospitals, and compared their results against a group of patients recruited in 2019, who did not have COVID. 
    Patients had mostly mild to moderate Covid severity. At 3 months, nearly ninety of the COVID patients had post–acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS), which researchers defined as at least one persistent, otherwise unexplained symptom 4 weeks after testing negative for Covid.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com. 500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22. That is almost two years worth for me. 250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day. It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted. Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food. Before the advent of TV dinners. Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper. Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was...
