Another Cold...

[murphyflood 0]

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."
