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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
