You may not know it... But I come here every single day and read posts.  Its like you are all my secret rock. Even in the midst of pregnancy, it is better for me here because you all understand.  Youre so giving and helpful with your advice and opinions. I could probably do all of this on my own but being here has reduced my stress, worry and anxiety SO MUCH.  I realize I am now an over emotional ball of hormones right now but I would love to huggy squeeze each and every one of you. You are my internet ROCK!

 

Gah... I would love to gush and gush and gush about how much you mean to me.  Strangers I do not even ACTUALLY know.. and so what? *HUGSLIKECRAZY*

 

XOXOXOXOOXOX

Glad the board is helpful to you. I think we have a pretty good bunch of folks here. My 1st 2 years on the diet would have been sooooo much easier if I had found this place then. Even after all these years I still find it a helpful place for info.

Yep. I felt (and still feel) the same way. If it weren't for the wonderful people here I would have given up or gone crazy. And I am still here for two reasons - to pay it forward, and like Raven, I am STILL learning new stuff after almost four years.

This board has been a HUGE help to me too, and I'm so grateful. I'm really touched by the generosity of those who have come a long way in the journey and come back to help those of us who are just starting. Even though I don't post every day, I too come to visit every day. You guys are the best! Thank you again for being there for us newbies.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
