I had a significant reaction to the J and J vaccine

[Lynn Nichols]

After a year of thinking and researching the COVID vaccines I decided to get the J and J vaccine. I got it early in May and three days later I got stomach pain, bloating and nausea much lune a Celiac flair up. It got some better after a week but keeps coming back even though I have not had gluten. I can only explain this as a reaction to the vaccine. Has anyone else experienced this?

Stomach issues are listed as the known side effects of each covid-19 vaccine, so it isn't surprising that you had this side-effect. My wife, who doesn't have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, had stomach issues for around 1 week after receiving her 2nd dose of Moderna. The good news is that the vaccine may save you from being hospitalized or even dying from covid-19, as the data shows that around 99% of those in hospitals or are dying from it now are unvaccinated:

Thanks for the reply. It is the ongoing issues since getting vaccinated that I am concerned about. If I had it to do all over, I don’t think I would not get vaccinated.

I think not getting it would be a serious mistake that could cost your life, but clearly people are making such decisions. The overwhelming evidence shows that all the vaccines are safe, and very effective at keeping you out of the hospital, and from dying from what is a very contagious disease.
