Do Celiacs get increased Covd-19 Vaccine Reactions

I'm getting the vaccine tomorrow.

When I got flu shots years ago, one in one arm and then had frozen shoulder; then, three years later, one in other arm, same thing.

So I'm concerned that I might get a bad reaction from the Covd Vaccine.

Has anyone else received the shot and can report?

There is no evidence to support the idea that celiacs are more at risk for adverse reactions to the vaccine than anyone else.

We've done some articles on celiacs and covid-19:

and @trents is correct about there not being any documented extra risks for celiacs. There are, however, possibly more risks for celiacs who get covid-19, so getting vaccinated is a good idea.

i agree with both Scott and Trents. Do make sure that you are using your arm even if it is uncomfortable and ask your doctor if warm compresses might help with any stiffness.

      Algaecal causing high result in Coronary Artery Calcium test?

      By Capt Jules · Posted

      I was instructed to take Algaecal as alternative to bisphosphonate drugs for osteoporosis. I did for 2 years, 1200 mg a day. My cholesterol spiked above normal during this time. We watched it and finally determined best to get a test to see if calcium was causing the spike. I have never had high cholesterol before. Could the celiac non absorption have caused calcium to build in my arteries? Now put on a statin to lower cholesterol (began at 180 went to 240 while on Alcagal). thanks

      High school and starting a 504plan in FLORIDA

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating a new diagnosis and setting up a 504 plan in Florida can feel overwhelming, but you’re taking such an important step for your daughter! Common accommodations for students with conditions like celiac or gluten sensitivity include unrestricted bathroom access (with no arbitrary limits), permission to leave class or school abruptly if symptoms flare, excused absences for recovery days without requiring immediate doctor notes, and access to safe snacks or a designated eating area. Some families also request preferential seating near the door for easy exits, extended time on tests if fatigue is an issue, or the ability to keep medication/food in the classroom. As for strict bathroom policies, a 504 plan overrides those rules—your daughter’s medical needs legally take priority. It might help to specify in the plan that she requires ‘as-needed’ bathroom access or the ability to go home without penalty during a reaction. Many students thrive with these supports in place, but clear communication with teachers (and a backup advocate, like a school nurse) is key. Wishing your daughter a smooth transition—you’re already doing great by advocating for her!

      Confusion about my son's results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Hello,, Our daughter is a new diagnosis and I have requested a 504 plan to help her navigate her condition.  What are some accommodations people have requested and how are your students doing?  For example we have high school professors that do not allow students to use the restroom more than 3 time a semester? What happens if your student has a unsuspected gluten "episode" are they able to leave school to recover with out jumping through hoops like doctors appointments while she recovers AND the absence is excused. Thanks so much
