Non-Responsiveness Of Kids With Celiac To The Hepatitis B Vaccine

We are 2+ years post diagnosis, and I rarely go on this forum anymore because "we've got this". But I wanted to share that I noticed the articles about the non-responsiveness of kids with Celiac to the Hep B vaccine. I mentioned it to our doctor at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and he had never heard of it. I sent him links to the article and his response (at age 60+ and as a leading expert on metabolic bone disease) was "wow, I learn something new every day." We had my daughter tested (she is 13) and sure enough she doesn't have the proper antibodies considering she got the full vaccine series (I think you're supposed to be >10 and her number was .7). So, we are about to embark on a new series since she is healthy and growing now and presumably (hopefully) will respond to the vaccine now.

 

PLEASE DON'T MAKE THIS THREAD ABOUT VACCINATIONS!! This is FYI - if you don't want your child vaccinated then please keep that to yourself! I have no desire to start or participate in a vaccine debate. :)

Like stated this is not a vaccine debate.

 

Thank you for sharing the information, because it is an important piece of information.  Can you please post a link to the article?

Do persons with celiac diseases struggle with receiving a Hepatitis B vaccine that sticks?

It’s well known that persons with celiac disease have a higher rate of non-response to the Hepatitis B vaccine. Most of them, however, typically respond to repeat injections.

Thanks Karen,

 

I was hoping for a little more information.  Like, do Celiacs need to go through the series 2 times, 3 times?

apparently, on a healed celiac, is at about the same place as a non celiac.  so, if you vaxed an gluten eating celiac, you may need to do it again, AFTER healing.

Not a lot of peer reviewed medical journal reports, but some reports are from Celiacs on a gluten free diet.

 

From comments on the link..  Not developing effective titers from vaccine lead up to be diagnosed with Celiac and about 5 posters were diagnosed on a gluten free diet and did not get to an effective immunity.

 

One poster went through 3 rounds, still not effective.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
