Susie0402, in my rural county of Washington state, the vaccine has been in very short supply. I have not received any shots yet and by the time it's available to me herd immunity may already be in place.

Sorry for your loss. Sometimes life just backs up and dumps.

It's been a year since your celiac disease diagnosis. How are you feeling physically now? Are you able to stick to a gluten-free diet?

Blessings.

Trents,  I have eliminated gluten from my diet the day in March, 2020 that I was diagnosed.  My family and friends had been so excited about the availability of the vaccine that I signed up and I got the Pfizer.  Eating and food occasions are just not the same to me since the celiac diagnosis.  I'm not feeling great but it could be the stress of life.  I hope that you get the vaccine if that is what you want.  If you choose not to get the vaccine, I totally respect that.  Be well and thanks for checking on me.  Susie

I had my first Pfizer vaccine 2 days ago.  I was so impressed with how efficient the process was.  I felt great after.  That evening my arm became sore.  The next morning it was really sore, but felt similar to a flu shot.  Yesterday afternoon I developed a headache and last night I was exhausted and a bit nauseous.  I went to bed and this morning I feel a lot better.  My arm is now only sore when I touch it.  My headache is very mildly there, but I'm prone to headaches anyway.   

I'm really glad I got it...I'm looking forward to moving forward!

I've had both of my Pfizer vaccination shots and had nothing but a sore arm. I understand many have experienced aching,fever and fatigue, but don't let that stop you from getting vaccinated. I am now looking forward to seeing family who live 1000 miles away.

I had my second Moderna 2 weeks ago.  The first one gave me only a sore arm for a day or two.  The second was quite a bit worse, with headache, body aches, slight fever, extreme fatigue, a rash on my arm.  The first day was OK, and the second day was the worst.  The third and fourth days were very mild.  But all that is nothing compared to what covid might have been for me.  I've been gluten free just over a year now.  My fall flu shot was the first time I ever had unpleasant side effects from a flu shot, and I wondered if that  had anything to do with being relatively new to gluten free.  Maybe my immune system was happy to have some work to do again, LOL.

I also had both Pfizer vaccinations first one just a soreness for a day or two. The second one made me tired and useless. Feel great it's  been for weeks out. We did have trouble finding were to get it. I have a son that works as a delivery driver he got him yesterday. My other son just back from Kuwait after a year deployment they never vaccinated them before and now will get one tomorrow. They are very slow in Michigan.......

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow. She has put me on some digestive enzymes...

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      Hi @JulieRe. I just found your post. It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida. I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment. In the meantime, I have been working with a functional...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct r...

I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar.

I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
