Another Cold...

I have been gluten free for nearly one year. I have always been healthy during the wintertime. I rarely ever got sick - with a cold/flu. This winter I have had three colds and the flu. I cannot ever remember being this sick. Has this happened to anyone else after going gluten-free? It seems that it should be the opposite - fewer illnesses after adopting gluten-free diet. Does anyone have any insight?

"I feel like I get sick more often than I ever did before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Does celiac disease affect the immune system?

Celiac disease doesn’t affect the immune system at all. If anything, those with celiac disease have a stronger immune system."

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      Yes, @trents is right, ascorbic acid can be irritating. Do you take it with food? Do you take other supplements or vitamins? Do you eat processed meats? Is your diet high in carbohydrates?

      Be careful with C supplementation. It's ascorbic "acid". Too much can cause stomach and gut irritation.
