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.......

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
