Thanks for sharing this. Of course your experience with covid-19 may not carry over to other celiacs who get it, which is why it's best to get vaccinated. Likewise, the CDC recommends that you get vaccinated even if you've already had it, due to the different variants out there, and because you may have gotten a very tiny amount of initial virus, thus you may not be producing enough antibodies against it.

Scott, you really need to do your research and look at ALL the studies, such as the Cleveland Clinic study.  You are giving medical advise where you have NO authority to do so.

I am passing on the CDC's advice, and I don't need "authority" to do so:

Get vaccinated if you haven't. This pandemic will continue until we reach a much higher percentage level of vaccinated people, and is running rampant in areas where the vaccination rate is low.

I would repeat: read more studies. Have you even checked the VAERS report on this 'vaccine', and done a minimal amount of reading? And are you ready to take responsibility should someone consider your words seriously?

I am on several email lists for new research on covid-19, including The New England Journal of Medicine's. I read new info about it daily.

I believe you mean the totally debunked VAERS report claims that are discussed here:
https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-covid19-vaers/fact-check-vaers-data-does-not-prove-over-2000-deaths-due-to-covid-19-vaccines-in-july-2021-idUSL1N2PB2H3

And what does the Cleveland Clinic recommend after they published their study? "Cleveland Clinic recommends those who are eligible receive the COVID-19 vaccine."

Ok, and??? This study does not in ANY way conclude that someone should not get a covid vaccine:

CONCLUSION

Substantial immune memory is generated after COVID-19, involving all four major types of immune memory. About 95% of subjects retained immune memory at ~6 months after infection. Circulating antibody titers were not predictive of T cell memory. Thus, simple serological tests for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies do not reflect the richness and durability of immune memory to SARS-CoV-2. This work expands our understanding of immune memory in humans. These results have implications for protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 and recurrent COVID-19.

I read a good article today about how different types of vaccines and contracting covid all teach your immune system in different ways. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58270098

Even if you had COVID already, that does not mean that you won't get it (or a variant) again so you should still get vaccinated. 

I've already had two vaccine shots, but I eagerly await a new booster when it becomes available because I know that my immune system still has more to learn about covid and that it forgets some of what it learns over time. 

Yes, we will eventually get to a point where we have all been exposed to covid and are less at risk than we were at the start. But I would like to have that initial encounter be only after a vaccine has given me some tools with which to fight back. And it would also be nice to not have an initial exposure be during the circulation of a more-deadly strain like the Delta variant.

And again, a reminder that it isn't all about just you and if you can handle getting sick. Rather it is about the potential to spread the virus to others whose immune systems may not be as robust. 

It really is simple common sense. Get your jabs. Wear your masks. Stop falling prey to conspiracy theories and fear mongering!

The last cases of wild (naturally occurring) polio in the United States were in 1979 in four states, among Amish residents who had refused vaccination.

Covid-19 has well exceeded the death toll from polio and regardless its origin is not going away by itself.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
