I had a significant reaction to the J and J vaccine

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.

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Morgan Tiernan · Posted

      Hi all! Ive been away for a while navigating this new illness and also studying at university. But im back with so more updates and info, thank you all for your help and support.    Update: I suffered with an infection of my dermatitis herpetiformis a month or so ago. This resulted in a trip to a&e with an extremely swollen face, and a 2 week dose of doxycycline. Of course the infection went down but my dermatitis herpetiformis still remains to pop up every now and again. However, I’m coming up to almost a year being gluten free and I can honestly say the outbreaks are less often and more mild. But I’ve been eating extremely strict on a gluten-free diet (not much eating out and very cross...

      Does anyone else have seborrheic dermatitis

      By Morgan Tiernan · Posted

      Hi there! This is something I’ve often wondered too! I’m still going through the process of getting an official dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosis, however I’ve been battling for 3 years and the dermatologists are pretty certain it’s dermatitis herpetiformis/celiac disease with it’s classic appearance and symptoms (it’s nasty stuff!) About 2 years ago before dermatitis herpetiformis was on the cards, I suffered with a terrible episode of seb dermatitis, it was absolutely everywhere and was probs left undiagnosed for months before I could get in with a dermatologist! I used ketaconazole and it seemed to do the trick. However, knowing what we do now, the dermatitis herpetiformis was...

      Anyone understand genetic testing

      By JD-New to Celiac · Posted

      Although diagnosed with celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis, I was curious about the celiac genetics and had that testing done on my own. Unfortunately, the lab does not explain the results and any doctor I have asked said I would need to see someone specializing in genetics. I was hoping someone out there might help me understand. Here is what came back and although I understand the HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8, I wasn't sure what the variants mean and why they repeat twice. Someone said it was a double marker meaning both of my parents gave me copies. I also read having this combination makes my celiac potentially much worse. HLA DQ2 - Positive | HLA DQ8 - Negative HLA...

      What should tTG IgA be if Gluten Free?

      By JD-New to Celiac · Posted

      Understanding that normal is <15, I started off with 250+, then using the same lab it took two years to get to 11, the last test was 3. So, it jumped back up for some reason which is why I suspected gluten in my diet somewhere. I do not do dairy, eggs, oats, or soy. I am vegan and gluten free, and take numerous supplements with the help of this forum.
